Sexuality and High School (Stuyvesant article)

<p>I've got nothing against homosexuals or bisexuals. It wouldn't matter if these kids were straight. They're still, for a lack of a better word, whoring around. And it's a bit sad, like scarletleavy said that relationships have become so casual to the point of this.</p>

<p>If all of Stuy is like this, then I really question the integrity of their students...</p>

<p>I believe past posters have said it's a very very small group of Stuy students.</p>

<p>Even so, there is a fringe group that needs control-one should not be using the school for relationships of that nature. Besides, where is there any reponsibility or real love-oh yeah, it does not exist there. It is little more than a movie-sex club, similar to those that exist in East Asia.</p>

i'm not condoning or defending the actions of the cuddle puddle group in any way, but tons of people use school as a medium of meeting possible sexual partners. at my school, boys and girls are always casually hooking up.</p>

<p>You are right, though, school should not be used as a way to get laid, but unfortunately it is...</p>

<p>Most high schools have rules against PDAs (public displays of affection) because nobody wants to see that, thankyouverymuch, no matter what your personal preference is.</p>

<p>And I agree, they probably are sharing STDs like crazy.</p>

<p>My high school has very lax rules for PDA. i think people can do whatever they want as long as they are still fully-clothed...</p>

<p>I agree about the STDs, I just hope that they get tested on a semi-regular basis if they are having that much sex.</p>

<p>it's gross, so much female sexuality so young.</p>

the male sexuality is disconcerting also.</p>

<p>What is sad is that it seems to be going on to show how cool they are, look we are hip...without really thinking about the consequences</p>

<p>the kids seem really casual in the interviews, but if these girls are anything like the girls I know, they do have feelings about what is happening, but don't want to show those feelings, because if they do, they aren't cool</p>

<p>I mean, most girls that are my daughters friends get upset if a call isn't returned, or if plans are made and fall through, that is normal to care about that stuff, but these kids say, hey, it doesn't matter if my friend who I hooked up with hooks up with that person while I watch,</p>

<p>Remembering my teenage years, its kind of sad not to care at all</p>

<p>In my opinion, anytime an adult from a past generation tries to classify us, the newer generation it just makes them look like fools. There is going to be a gap inbetween us, how we act and such. And i don't care how much they study what we do, they still don't get it.</p>

<p>where did it mention their musical tastes?</p>

<p>I completely agree with citygirlsmom. I can't imagine the whole casual sex thing. I get really upset when my boyfriend doesn't call when he says he will or breaks a promise, or for that matter when any friend does that.</p>

<p>Maybe it's just my Catholic background talking, but I agree with citygirlsmom. I am rather apalled by these people's bahavior. It amazes me that sex and relationships have come to mean so little to people. If you treat things so casually when initially experimenting with your sexuality, what kind of precedent does that set for good solid relationships later in life? And, although the article says same-sex experimentation is without the dangers of teen pregnancy, etc. there is still a huge risk of STDs and emotional issues that I don't believe can be fully avoided, no matter how much one may pretend not to care.</p>

Probably not, because I'm atheist, and I agree with you. ;)</p>

<p>Emo kids die right now</p>

<p>Hahaha. That sounds a lot like my school.</p>

<p>I don't think casual hooking up is so bad as long as your are being responsible. Personally, I don't do more than kiss with guys who aren't my boyfriend but I break that with girls. I am such a hypocrite I know. What worries me is the STD factor. People need to be a lot more careful than that article makes them sound. It scares me that a lot of people in my high school don't think you can STDs from oral sex.</p>
