"We were raised to dance like that," senior Kayla Bisson said.

By who?

[Xenalyte]

But some students and parents don't see it that way. They say that like the jitterbug and disco before it, grinding is just a sign of the times.

I have jitterbugged, and I have freaked and done whatever disco dances were popular.

None of them looked like my partner and I were kickin' it doggy-style.

"The look is extremely sexual, but the intent is not," Duval said.

Right.

[gaijin]

That's what happens when *MTV* acts as momma...!

"We go to a dance to have fun, and you telling us how to dance is not fun," Cooper said.

Two things, Caitlind honey.

First, simulated sex isn't fun. Actual sex is.

Second, "Caitlin" doesn't have a D on the end. Your parents are clearly as stupid as you are, so at least you came by it honestly.

[Bones75]

Sorry, somebody needs to lighten up....their fully clothed.. supervised by adults.. just doing dumb stuff kids do...

[Xenalyte]

Other parents, including Pete Duval, said they don't object to the dance style, because it doesn't lead to further touching. Once the music stops, they said, so does the grinding.

"The look is extremely sexual, but the intent is not," Duval said.

If you truly believe this, Mr. Duval, you are as stupid as Caitlind and her parents.

"The look is extremely sexual, but the intent is not," Duval said. "

The biggest problem I had raising kids was parents like Duval that defended their delinquent kids and their practices. There is always a parent that wants to defend their child's actions no matter how bad. The problems is that today these parents get the spotlight.

Asked by parents to describe the dance, Connolly offered this: The girl leans forward and the boy puts his pelvis against her backside. Then, he thrusts.

Just video tape it and let the parents decide for themselves. If some parents are ok with their kids doing this, let the other parents know so they can be aware of the standards in their community.

Next thing these students will want to defend is the removal of their clothes while they dance and grind on school property. As usual there will be parents who can't "understand" why little Johnny is being picked on by those mean people who believe in public manners and decency. This is what happens when parents think manners are out of date.

Two brilliant statements on display here...was I this dumb in high school?

[lucky american]

Pretty soon you will see the actual sex act performed at a dance. When is too far, too far? I was a chaperon at a school dance.I took my daughter home immediatly and complained to the principle. Parents wouldn't allow this if they actually attended a dance to watch what goes on these days.

[Trampled by Lambs]

We did this in the 70's only it was called dry humping and it usually earned you a good smack on the face and no 2nd date, depending on the type of girl.

[Jaysun]

The "dances" of today's youth would make a Bangkok whore blush.

[Dinsdale]

Parents really need to start acting shocked when their kids do the same things they did.

This generational parent shocking escalation is a clear problem.

What are these kid's kids going to have to do to shock their parents. Revisiting my own extended childhood did you know that GWAR is back on tour? Will they let bald fans in? What would a kid have to do to shock a GWAR fan?

[lesser_satan]

Yeah, ya little bastards! That's what the back seat is for!

[Gordongekko909]

I learned how to dance from a few female strippers. So yeah, I grind... but the other way around. On girls exclusively, of course.

The girls, the girls, they love it. ^_^ They're all, "Yeah, Mike! Shake that thang!" And I'm all, "'kay."

[Political Junkie Too]

I'll bet they didn't dance like that in Grovers Corners, NH.

These "some parents" should never have become parents.

"The look is extremely sexual, but the intent is not," Duval said."

Bravo sierra! I very clearly remember my adolescent hormones, and friends and neighbors, shaking hands could have held sexual intent for me. It's hardwired (no pun intended) for Pete's sake!
