Answer 1

you could start with:

why you think it is something high school students should read

an important lesson you learned from it

claiming it is a classic as well as explaining why you enjoyed it

something about Holden or his thoughts about something, ooo you could quote something

i liked that book too; i read it this summer for fun. i wish it would have been required reading for my school

Answer 2

I can't really help you but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to read it in school.  Sure, it drops the F bomb a few times but that's really about it.  It's not like we don't hear that every day.
