Perhaps the most shocking thing about students having sex in a high school auditorium was that other students didn't find it very shocking at all.
"I glanced over and, whatever, I just let him continue on with his business," said a 16-year-old linebacker on the Osbourn High School football team who, along with a friend, stumbled upon a couple engaging in oral sex. "I stayed for five to eight minutes, just talking. We weren't worried about it. When the janitor came in, everyone started running."
Manassas school officials weren't as laid back. The students -- eight in all -- were quickly identified and suspended, and the matter prompted the small school system to confront an issue many adults would rather not face: in this case, two girls and three boys engaging in oral sex or intercourse on school property while three other boys watched, according to sources familiar with what happened.
"In all the years that I've been in education, I've never run into this one before," said John Boronkay, the school system's acting superintendent. "It's a new one."

I wasn't exactly a city kid. I don't recall much more than the occasional rumor. Musta been a fast crowd at your school!

I hear you.
Yeah, but when we were growing up, MOST of the kids looked down on the girls who did that stuff. It helped keep alot of kids on the straight and narrow. Stigma is part of the social glue....

Fast crowd? Between taking care of livestock, clearing land, sowing, fertilizing, etc – there wasn’t a whole lot of spare time for the “fast” life. We did cram some fun in when we could – and, yes – many do consider sex “fun”.
I suppose fast is in the eye of the beholder. Glad I went to school where I did.

We did have a number of girls who left to “go live with an aunt out of state”. There weren’t many birth control options but abstinence.

Can't be having stigma, it hurts self-esteem.
Thank You Bill and Hillary
