hi i have searched everywhere and cant seem to find why the book cut is banned it is on the banned book list?

some people think that the subject matter may encourage impressionable teenagers to copy the actions in the book there is an article at the link below basically arguing against banning books but which contains a good argument FOR banning this book At this training session, an enraged guidance counselor told the gaping group, "A girl came into my office and said, 'Cutting myself didn’t feel at all like how the book said it would.' The book was Cut. I checked all three copies out of the library and kept them in my office for the rest of the year." My view - I wouldn't ban the book completely but I would not want anyone under the age of say 18 to read it - i certainly wouldn't want it freely available to all age groups in a school library - if 1 impressionable (probably immature) teenager copied the actions of the book that is 1 too many.
