<span style="color:black">“The long-term nature of reading means that studies on how content affects teens (or anyone else) are scarce, but Stetson University psychologist Christopher Ferguson says research does suggest that we can chill out when it comes to
what our kids are reading…</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="color:black">Ferguson's small study of teens in one Texas city looked at whether reading banned books was associated with behavioral problems in adolescents. The answer in that group was no, with the exception of a small subset of kids — mostly
girls — who may have been struggling already. ‘Some kids who already have mental health issues may be particularly drawn to certain kinds of edgy books,’ he says. He advises parents to check in with their teens to determine whether they're depressed or anxious
and to ask why they're drawn to the books they're reading. In such cases, he says it's likely that ‘the problem is not the book, but something preexisting.’"</span></p>
