I am 17 but I don’t read “Young Adult” novels. I don’t watch many shows rated TV- 14 on my own. I do watch them (Stranger Things, Once Upon a Time, The Mandalorian, Marvel stuff, e.t.c) but I still prefer having a parent or my family watch them with me. I still watch a lot of TV-7 cartoons, I even watch My Little Pony. I just don’t really like some of the themes they have or the stereotypes about teens they have in all these teen dramas. I find the age 9-12 section more enjoyable and they can portray the same themes even better than YA fiction. I find fairies and unicorns to be more relatable than YA novels. Maybe I feel a little grossed out by how graphic some books aimed at teens get. The only times where I read books “my age” are for school. Sure, I am mature enough, but that also means I am mature enough to choose what I want to avoid when reading or watching TV. I used to read a wider variety of books when I was younger because of book club. I love reading too, but I don’t want to get to older reading levels because I can’t find any books in these levels that are relatable. I love fantasy fiction and book series like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. I love watching TV 7 cartoons because they make me feel happy and are in my opinion, more imaginative. I still go through so many themes in these shows, like love, sorrow, pain, forgiveness, redemption, grief, growth, e.t.c . Maybe I can’t let go of fantasy fiction, or 9-12 books, but that can’t be a bad thing considering I am mostly referring to fictional books/TV series for entertainment, not educational purposes. This is just who I am and what I like.
If you want, you can give some book recommendations, who knows maybe one day I will read older reading levels or maybe I won’t.

That's just normal. The same age as yours and I admit I still watch some of the movies/series that you've mentioned😊
ReplyI think you're trying to hang on to your innocence as long as possible. When your innocence is gone its just all downhill from there. I honestly dont even find sex jokes and stuff funny. I think it's dumb. But your gunna lose it eventually. If you havent already.
ReplyI’m not much of a fantasy reader but I’ve really been trying to get back into it. I finally reread Percy Jackson and I’m 17 yet I enjoyed reading it now then when I was younger for some reason. I really want to try and get back into fantasy and middle grade books cause their definitely more fun then most of the ya books I’ve read.
I’ll recommend the school for good and evil series! It’s a really fun read read based on fairy tales with a bunch of twists. Hope you get the time to check it out :)
