She will know that she doesn't owe these guys anything for "rite of passage".

That's exactly right. My daughter owes nothing of the sort to any boy - and ESPECIALLY to any boy who would seek to take advantage of her that way.

As I suggested in my earlier post, we have talked with our daughters about this at length, and I believe they understand that premarital sex is wrong and that they do not need to give in to any peer or other pressure. It's not easy. At least they are open enough with us to tell us what's going on and what their friends are thinking and sometimes doing. The 'rite of passage' comment was a reference to comments from their private school friends where it's something of a 'sophomore event' if girls haven't already. These kids walk a fine line, with academics, sports, music and all of the normal things teens want to do, and you're right, it's not easy bring up teens these days, especially in our affluent suburb where many kids have more weekly spending money that many people earn in a week.

"...Middle School principal Tom Mowery wrote to parents..."

Oh - -- - NOW they want their assistance. . .

All along, the school's administration(s) usually want the Parents to butt out !! !! !!

You seem to be confusing what I am reporting my kids telling me about what goes on with what my kids are doing. As I told another poster, our kids tell us what's going on with their peeers and I'm glad they feel free enough to be level with us. Both our girls are involved in Church activities (not to mention serious music - instrumental and vocal-, varsity sports and serious academics)and their friends are wholesome kids whose parents have values similar to ours, they respect themselves and seem to be making good choices in their friends, their activities and the boys they date.

But there are a lot of girls they know - if only because they have grown up with them over the years or have classes with them - who have idle time, less active moral compasses and who do engage in risky behaviors. They tell us out of concern, usually when they've been unable to persuade old friends to straighten out.

Still, all agree the practice is limited to a small number of students, some of whom do not equate oral sex to intercourse.

Would it be better if they were all good members of church groups and never did anything beyond a simple goodnight kiss? Possibly.

I'm glad that you're doing that for your daughters. Perhaps I got the wrong impression from your statement above. I don't have any trouble figuring out which is better.

So people in the Islamic countries are willing to commit suicide, perform acts of terror, fight to the death, and live under oppressive totaliterian governments to prevent the intrusion of "Western values" such as these into their homes and their lives and to keep them away from their children?

Americans cannot prevent such "values" from intruding into theirs! Americans cannot keep such "values" out of their schools and away from their children.

Americans twice elected a psychopath who was the foremost promoter of such "values" to the presidency of the U.S. And then the people of New York voted is wife into the U.S. Senate.

I make no endorsement of suicide bombers or international terrorists, but Americans--who have allowed such "values" to suffuse their culture--can thank themselves for any universal condemnation and loathing of the United States.

Anyone who has questions about why the U.S. is despised so profoundly need look no further than this article.

Such decadence--such "values"--as these are despised by decent people everywhere and for all time--me included!

This is yet one more example of "Liberal" decadence--the greatest threat the U.S. faces--far greater than any foreign enemy. The U.S.A. can not be destroyed by any foreign enemy. But it can be destroyed from within--and this kind of decadence is the very thing that will destroy it.

Some foreign cultures--notably Islam--are threatened by such Western concepts as liberty, justice, and democracy and are resistant to them. However the resistance could be expected to attenuate and eventually even disappear, in view of the advantages, basic goodness, universal acceptability, and profound truth of these concepts.

However the real resistance is to such decadence and degeneracy as depicted in this article. This is where these people will--and should--make their last stand.

What the hell! If this is what the West stands for, I might just join 'em.

Adolescents could be taught that hand jobs are safer than oral sex.

"Four students, treated for tonsillitis caused by gonorrhea,"

So that is why x42 loses his voice.

Not only did he like to get *IT*, he must like to give it too...........

Medical records would tell the *tail*.

I'm sad to say that my 14 year old daughter knows all about this kind of thing, since several 8th grade sluts at her school openly brag about performing oral sex on certain boys.

Even more horrifying: Daughter told me that a boy at school she barely knows asked her "Do you spit or swallow?" She didn't know what that meant, and was grossed out when I told her.

I honestly believe that the further dumbing down of basic standards of decency and modesty are a result of The Rapist President and the sleazy "It-doesn't-matter-what-you-do-in-your-personal-life" tone that was set during his tenure.

Right, I was making a more general statement about all teenagers generally. Since a majority of Americans are not churched, their kids therefore probably don't even have the opportunity to be in church youth groups or any serious moral training.

Yes, and they could be taught that one thing leads to another and if you start there who knows where it might lead? It's sort of the same as marijuana leading to harder drugs. At least that was the case when I was that age.

A boy knows how to accomodate himself after the date and he better just leave my daughter out of it.

I live in a fairly affluent side of town, and have an 8th grader. There is the belief that "eating ain't cheating, and bj's ain't sex". It is very distrubing to say the least.

We have been very frank and open with our child about what does and does not constitute sex; and oral sex is very much a sex act.

I think we have totally disgusted her to the idea of oral sex and sex in general.

I hope we can keep it going until she is 30, when I will allow her to date!

If a boy demands that my daughter sexually accommodate him as the price of his taking her out on a date, then he's not the kind of boy I want for my daughter. And I will use every means of persuasion available to me to convince her that a boy who does not date her for that service is more the kind she will ultimately find happiness with.

I run a tutoring business in a suburb of Los Angeles. I see this sort of thing happening all the time. Oral sex is even more common than and casual than the "good night kiss" was back when I was a teenager.

Back in 2000, there was an oral sex ring comprised of some 6 girls at the Catholic 8th grade. These girls had been servicing most of the 8th and 7th grade boys at the school.

Of course, the liberal nun who was the principal would indoctrinate the kids day in and day out about the horrors of polluting the planet or helping the homeless. She just didn't feel it was important to teach the kids about what Christ said about pre-marital sex.

Not the same Catholic Church I was raised in I'll tell you.

This disgusts me. When I was in middle school at Morton, which wasn't all that long ago (1990), we toilet-papered houses and rang and run doorbells.

Thank you, Mr Klinton.

This just ruined my Krispy Kreme :(
