This book is still a bad influence since you don't hear mention of cops coming after these kids it would be like they have no restrictions... In this book sex and rape seem to be a minor thing but it can still affect how kids think about what they are about to do. In one part of the book his sister puts Charlie in his room and this girl and guy walk in and he rapes the girl and everyone knows the guy raped her but they don't do anything.
