LINCOLN, Neb. -- Two Lincoln teenagers have been ticketed for having sex in a high school hallway during the lunch hour while at least a dozen students watched, according to Lincoln police.
School officials said the incident happened over the lunch hour Wednesday at Lincoln Southeast. A female 17-year-old and a male 19-year-old apparently snuck past a gate to get into a restricted hallway near the Prasch Activity Center. Lincoln police said at least a dozen students watched through the gate.
A school administrator found the couple and called a school resource officer.
"I don't want the message to families (to be that) this is happening indiscriminately all over the halls," said Becky Wild, with Lincoln Public Schools.
Wild said she remembers only one other incident like this in the last 10 years. She said LPS takes it very seriously, and administrators are asking themselves some tough questions.
"Are there some areas in our schools that are not as visible to the adults that supervise? We need to figure out how we cover those. Do we need to be talking with students about appropriate behavior?" Wild said.
Word of the incident doesn't sit well with some students.
"It's inappropriate," said one student. "It is. First of all, they don't need to be doing that in front of other people."
Students told KETV NewsWatch 7 that they believe sex in the hallways is rare, but sexual activity in schools happens more than adults think.
"If a kid thinks they can do that and it's going to make them popular, that's the level people go to nowadays," said student Danielle Thompson.
"I honestly think it could happen, and it probably does happen at their schools. People just don't know about it," said student Tomika Hopkins-Sanders.
LPS said students involved in sexual activity at school could face disciplinary action, counseling, suspension or even expulsion.
School officials will look at changes that can be made to prevent this kind of incident, but admitted that it's tough to keep an eye on every student at every moment of the day.
Lincoln NE?
Heck, I'm surprised it was a heterosexual episode. Maybe that wouldn't have drawn the negative attention...
Hmmm, sounds similar to what I remember in HS. And I graduated in 87 too. We must have been a naughty class!
stuff like this happens in public schools in the south not infrequently
i saw it as a kid in 9th grade...bathroom coitus
my cousins who teach (taught) see it in Jackson Miss public schools and teachers I know at public schools see it here in nashville too
can't speak for other regions
you should hear about my cousin's daughter who is a nurse at a public hospital in Jackson Miss and caught a 14 year old girl 3 hours after having vaginally delivered her third child having intercourse with some 25 year old squire
when she reported it to the nurse's station, they just laughed and told her it happens all the time
some folks don't grasp the dignity thingie
I think young women are even more promiscuous now. There is even less social constraint.
The 70s were remarkable because folks had just started eschewing 50s morality....but it's been downhill since.
lol
Isn't this statuatory rape? What is the age in Neb.?

Our generation did it behind the bleachers, at least.
Yes. More talk about sex. That'll solve the problem. Maybe start sex ed in nursery school. Take them at gun point if the parents resist.
Word of the incident doesn't sit well with some students. "It's inappropriate," said one student.
You have learned the lessons or moral relativism well, my son. But the truth, grasshopper, is that this behavior is evil.
Agreed..as time has progressed from the 70s, women have earned college degrees in greater and greater numbers. As this has occurred, women have become more and more independent and the financially mandated morality that existed prior to the 60s has gradually worn away.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. Morality should come from within and not just for financial reasons.
Sister of Buck Wild???
That is disgusting--the postpartum dalliance, that is. Our oldest daughter said her class was walking down the hallway to an assembly, and someone opened a closet door. Inside the closet were two teens going at it. Daughter is in middle school, but she attends a class at a high school as well. She usually does not tell us this sort of thing because she knows I will go balistic.
What is worse is the lesbo stuff that our daughters keep telling us. One of them mentioned seeing a girl making out with another girl prior to school yesterday morning. Daughter was very disgusted. I am astonished at the number of girls who call themselves "BI" these days. There are lots of them.
it's scary for those of us with teen girls
yea man...that post partum scene is not even what wild animals do
The "slide" began with
"Frankly my dear I don't give a damn"
and has been getting worse ever since.
I remember making out....but the thought of clothes coming off? PLEASE. This is the women's movement's fault. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE WOMEN'S RESPONSBILITY TO KEEP THINGS IN CHECK...IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE WOMEN'S JOB TO SAY NO.
it's scary for those of us with teen girls
I'm sure it is.
We are an all male family around here
and I feel blessed in that respect.
There was one idiot on a thread that said
if he found a 17 yo boy screwing his
13 yo daughter he would recommend counseling
Yeah right!!
Counseling for whom?
