When I was a teen my mom tried to bond with me by giving me a Dr. Laura book, which I promptly threw from a moving vehicle. I'm not a teen anymore, but I bet these books would prompt similar reactions from your average kid.
When I was nine, my mom gave me a book "How to Clean Your Room," which a friend and I ripped to shreds in said room while repeating, "Moliere really pumps my nads," the line Bender says in Breakfast Club when he rips up a book in the library.
That's an awesome story. My mom also gave me a book on cleaning, but it was called "Do I Dust Or Vacuum First?" the implication being this was an extremely important question for a youth. It's like they assumed you didn't know, rather than simply didn't care...
Of course, you have to dust first because all the dust falls on the floor. I learned this the hard way.
