Is The Outsiders a banned book?

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is not banned nationwide, but it has been challenged or banned by some schools and libraries. In fact, The Outsiders appeared at number 38 on the American Library Association’s Top 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-1999. “Challenged,” in this case, means that libraries and schools have argued for the book to be banned, not that it actually has been banned.

But why would The Outsiders be banned in schools? Although The Outsiders is about teenagers and young adults, it contains mature and sometimes violent content. This includes gang violence, underage smoking, underage drinking, petty crime, strong language, and death. It also depicts teenagers from broken homes with dysfunctional or abusive families.

That being said, The Outsiders is actually included in some school curricula. This is because the novel, which is often credited with jumpstarting the YA (Young Adult) genre, explores important themes that may be particularly relevant to adolescents. For example, it may help teens process mature themes, such as class conflict, violence, family dynamics, and the search for identity.

Opponents of the censorship argue that these are realistic issues that some teens face or may face in the future, so reading about them through a classic novel will help them to think critically, learn, process, and engage safely with these topics. It was written by a teenager, after all!
