The Outsiders by S.E Hinton
I am new to the site and noticed that everyone seems to give very honest opinions about certain topics. I would like some honest answers on this.
The 5th grade at my child's school has decided to read The Outsiders. My kids are not accustomed to hearing words that are used in this book. To me 5th is a little young to read this book. I didnt read it until my freshman year in high school. Am I wrong to protest my daughter reading this book this year?

I would suggest reading it along with her. 5th graders today in her class are in all likelihood saying fouler things than in The Outsiders. It's unfortunate but true. I knew certain words weren't appropriate as I'm sure you've explained to your daughter.
I hope she doesn't miss out.
