Luckily somebody pieced it together, and copied it several times eventually one copy making it into the hand of a friend. He gave it to me and it was good, VERY good and not just because it was sexy, there was passion and character development, and it was overall very engaging.

But what kind of pisses me off about this is that, because of this almost ridiculous amount of censorship in areas where "freedom of expression" is supposedly encouraged, any merit for a work despite its content is immediately disregarded as pornography. Though the authority figures in the world have always been stupid and ****ing hypocritical. In an ideal world this kid would’ve gotten an A+.

I teach English and I wouldn't have done that if it was a genuine and well-written story. As long as the requirements for the assessment are fulfilled...

but I must admit being a teacher it would be a little awkward reading about a student's sexual experience...
