I think that deep down the kids are not comfortable with it either but they go along with it to prove their worth. I don’t think it takes a genius to understand that they are not mature enough to handle anything to do with a serious relationship. These kids KILLED over one.
Perhaps the fact that the 15 year old girl posted the following on FB should be questioned more closely:
April 3
Amber: It feels so wierd waking up when yuur not beside me.
Seath: “your telling me”
Worst of all, there is a debate between these people about which male she is talking about! How many has she spent the night with?
How does a 15 year old girl wake up with a male? Where is the parent oversight?
On a less important note, where was their English teacher? Those exchanges sound like the babbling of semi-literates. The taxpayers spent lots of money on schools - who is responsible for a 15 year old not knowing how to spell “weird”?
I was a chubby kid in HS and not very popular with the girls. I didn’t really date until 17, and up until then the pinnacle of my experience with girls was slow dancing with a friend at Homecoming.
I completely understand that there are going to be outliers in the world: good kids who have best intentions and want a better life. It just seems like every kid out there in the news or at the mall or at the beach has this silver spoon mentality like they’re owed something, and I can’t help but blame the schools.
Relationships, esp. nowadays with this always-connected world in which we live, are difficult without the added stress of the public being able to watch everything going on in your life. I think the Internet, with all of its utility, has destroyed the traditional social structure that was so prevalent in this country. I think the shock that we’re all having over stories like these is normal considering the nature of “web world” in which we now live. 20 years ago this way of life was unheard of, and the speed with which it all came upon us has really hit those of us who remember spending time climbing trees instead of playing video games particularly hard.
