Teenager's love bites back

In the old days her brothers would have kicked the crap out of the kid for the kissing alone.

[rogator]

If the girl needed to go for an abortion it would have been a private matter.

This hicky thing has got to be one of the dumbest things ever. Cops, prosecutors and school administrators, I wonder if their parents used lots of drugs when they were conceived in the '60s?

[FourPeas]

Texas, huh? And, I thought that was the last place such ridiculous garbage would happen. I guess it is official, our civilization is coming to an end.

[gcruse]

So much for sex is a private matter.

I thought the Supreme Court came down pretty
strongly that it was.  Texas maybe deleted that
email before reading it. Something about consenting adults, maybe.

Hickeys aren't instantaneous. They take a little time and effort to produce. Methinks Mrs. Singh is in a bit of denial about her darling little boy's antics.

[Xenalyte]

Rub toothpaste on it, is what we used to do. (Unsuccessfully, I might add.)

[Xenalyte]

My grandson just got out of Richland Middle School this year - and I seem to recall a number of hickey's on him in the 8th grade....doubt those chicks paid 300/hickey!

That wouldn't be approval in your voice there, would it? Hickeys are NOT appropriate.

[rwfromkansas]

lol.....you got the buzzwords right, too.

[twigs]

Hey, X! We agree on this one!

Hickeys are NOT appropriate.

While the punishment may be a little excessive, I've been amazed at the dismissive comments here. It certainly is not appropriate!

[FormerlyAnotherLurker]

When did he get fined $300 and by whom?

[ozaukeemom]

Yes,it would take some time to inflict. Was the girl willing or unwilling? Or does that matter?
I am a mother of a junior high student and this is not appropriate behaviour. But, the punishment etc seems way beyond common sense.

[MetalHeadConservative35]

You have kids in Dallas schools having oral sex;"

nah really? i coulda told you that

not to sound like an ass,but im glad the kid got fined he's WAY! too young for that type of stuff

[goldstategop]

Tell the kids not to nibble. And no kissing til they're mature enough to understand what having a relationship means. Along with no sex til you have the means to raise a child together.

[Admin Moderator]

Original titles only please.

[DustyMoment]

Gee, and we wring our hands over the latest fad with kids, Buddy Sex.

Maybe these insane acts by alleged adults is the reason that traditional courting and dating is falling out of favor with our kids.

[FormerlyAnotherLurker]

The moderator's post, #34, negates my question since the title has been corrected.

[Go Gordon]

$300 bucks for giving a gal you've been making out with all day a hickey?

For $300, the kid could have gotten $^$#%^, instead of just allowed to suck on the gal's neck.

[ArGee]

Careful, there, you two. No questioning anyone's sexual choices. Everyone knows that private sexual choices have absolutely no impact on the moral fabric of our nation. The only thing that matters is whether our taxes are too high and whether the North should have fought the South to preserve the union.

Picking on potential perverts. What are you thinking of? Next thing people will be suggesting it matters if someone is a liar.

Shalom.

[softengine]

Well said.

[Froggie]

Perhaps jealousy - the girls in my Catholic middle school weren't that frisky!
