Sexuality and High School (Stuyvesant article)

The kids in the article represent a very very very small subset of Stuy students.

<p>I agree. I go to Stuy, and even though it exists, it is only a very very small percentage of the students.</p>

I'm in the same boat, parochial school from K-8, all guys Jesuit school for high school. At first I thought the idea of no girls at school was weird, then I felt I got used to it, and now I'm like "Man, it would've been nice if there were girls at school." Though some of the jokes/conversations we have would be frowned upon if girls were on campus - so I guess we're a bit freer in that sense.

<p>That summed my experience pretty much.
Can't have both I guess</p>

<p>Wow... I disapprove of this much promiscuity but it's their lives. How different though.</p>

<p>I think it's just sick... in fact, they should be exceptions to the No Child Left Behind act. Let's leave them behind.</p>

<p>call me a homophobe or whatever but i'm really scared of these people. Call me what you want but my reaction to their actions are more extreme and fearful than when i first set my feet in the US from Korea</p>

<p>ohh people lighten up peeps. and .

<p>Although I thought 1984 was better constructed, as far as food-for-thought value goes BNW is more applicable to the world today (there are some 1984 elements though).</p>

<p>I'm a Stuy student, and I'm enoying reading everyone's comments. :P So, so raunchy. xD</p>

<p>Both 1984 AND BNW rock. Really.</p>

<p>oooooo :eek: I'm sorry, but that's just what some teens do. Whatever floats their boat as long as they aren't killing people.</p>

<p>wow, that is really um, interesting...</p>

<p>the thing that puzzles me is why you would allow a national newspaper to publish things like that about you..</p>

<p>Yea, it was rather interesting that they told everything and then some...</p>

<p>Isn't it possible that their parents will read that? Well then again, you're talking about kids who do... weird, very abnormal things... on a regular basis. I guess most of them don't care what others, even their parents, think.</p>

<p>One of my friends is in that article. Im not going to say which one, but that is quite the interesting article.</p>

<p>GoldShadow, one of the parents was quoted in the article, but didn't want to give her name, joking that her mother might read the article.</p>

<p>Well, its kind of sad in a way, no body seems to have any feelings, but wants to share their body with just about anybody</p>

<p>I am not judging, just find it a bit depressing to think that girls and guys seem to have so little respect for themselves</p>

<p>It takes away the specialness of physical contact and demeans relationships and makes them meaningless</p>

<p>if you are willing to hookup with just about anything that moves, and if the boys don't care, then they don't really care about the girls</p>

<p>guys who really like a girl will care if she hooks up with others, otherwise, its all fake</p>

<p>It's not the gender of the people involved that irks me. These teens are having sex with anyone and everyone, it seems. That's not safe. To me, this is an issue of open sexuality in the general sense, not just the gender sense. And to me, that isn't such a good thing. Open that you are a sexual being is good and healthy, but open to having sex with just anyone "just cause your bored" is not.</p>

<p>Very good point, there is the physical health- std's, and the emotional health, and the mental</p>

<p>It is like they are shutting down feelings inside for a minute of phyiscal pleasure, if there is even that much given the doing it out of "its something to do" mentallity</p>

<p>I wonder what the STD percentage is within that group, because you want to bet that these kids aren't considering themselves at risk, but if a girl hooks up with a girl who has hooked up with a guy who has an STD, it can move along in the cuddle puddle</p>

<p>It might be harming them emotionally ot they could be deconstructing sexuality through their actions in a way that has never been thought possible before.</p>

<p>Sorta like BNW.
1984>BNW</p>

<p>I think its sad and a little frightening that sex and relationships have become so cheap and meaningless.</p>
