Sad story.
I fear our civilization will hit bottom so hard that there will be no putting it back together again.
What's really sad is that Stuy is a Magnet School like Bronx Science....you have to qualify through testing to get in.
Will hit bottom????
Lighten up. They'll calm down in a few years, when their hormones have settled down. Meanwhile, they're getting the kind of educations that are necessary to keep the U.S. as the leading economic power in the world.
This is what happens when parents abandon guiding the lives of their children in the right paths. These parents will tell you that they are just letting the kids "find themselves". Actually, they are just too lazy to take the time to give their kids a little direction. These kids are out of control and the parents are too lazy and detached to care or do anything about it. It makes me sick. I spend a lot of my time at home giving little lessons to my 5 kids on any number of subjects. I might be tired, but when I need to handle something, I do it. I'll be damned if my kids will go off experimenting with all manner of hell on Earth - destroying their lives and the lives of their friends and family without me intervening.
Like most teenagers, they are spending a lot of time masturbating, but, since the constraints of propriety have fallen for them (or never been erected in the first place), they are simply using each other to do it. They are indulging in an immature, selfish circle jerk.
yes--this so reeks of "Caligula."
