Did anyone else read Lord of the Flies in school? As far as I remember, that was way more gruesome than Ender's game.

8th grade for me, making most students about 13/14.
My class read LotF at age 13/14. This was in the UK though, we're not nearly as sensitive to such things :)
Grade 11 - most students are 16 or 17 by the time they are exposed to Lord of the Flies.
Am I the only one who, though exposed to violent media as a young child, didn't turn into a deranged psychopath?
No offense, but how many deranged psychopaths actually agree that they are?
I don't know. What does the relevant medical literature say?
