This. I remember feeling that way about myself in high school and deciding that J.D. Salinger was just giving a big middle finger to my entire demographic.

Holden was like a buddy I needed. He made me feel like I wasn't the only whiny, scared kid who noticed how stupid the world is sometimes.

I say they should keep assigning it to high schoolers. A lot of them will like it.

Fucking lul'd.

It's easy to hate (I think it's horribly overrated), but it's short and entertaining so what's not to love. I kind of laughed when Clanton (Carlyle?) or whatever his name was joked about how seriously his high school took the rivalry football game and the students were going to have to commit seppuku if they lost.

RIP Salinger.

The story is surprisingly hopeful if you read the book and the narrator(Holden months after the events of the book) understands his fear of adulthood. It has absolutely nothing to do with an overall creation of values, where did you get this idea from?
