Two middle school students in Houston, TX got caught having sex during class? WTH is going on?

Question

It used to be embarrassing to be linked to anything sexual in my day ( am middle-aged) but to do this in a classroom at that age? (14) WTF is going on nowadays? What would you tell your kid if they were in that classroom and had to watch intercourse between their classmates.

The teacher had just stepped out and I care because I am freaked out. MY DAUGHTER is 14. This happened to kids her age. They were HAVING SEX IN CLASS? You don't understand why people care?

Answer 1

I was amazed that a few people answered to your question with neglectful disdain.
I'd think of them WHAT is wrong with YOU? Doesn't anything outrageous SHOCK you ANYMORE. What would shock you if you keep having a "a couldn't care less" to such events? Would an outright killing, by your schoolmate seated next to you with a sword or machete decapitating another schoolmate's head WAKE YOU UP, to what is happening with the youth of this country?
Probably not - you'd just get back to doodling on your notebook, even if it were splashed with blood!!!
The thing is that there has been for a number of years the allowance of the dissolution of the Family Structure.
Kids are not given proper up-bringings. They are left to carry out their lives as if they had adult minds when they don't. They are allowed to watch horrific games where the goal is killing, maiming, massacre, war, God knows what else . . and the adults, so d@amned materialistic, continue to seek more creature comforts and money-making. They just (HOPE) their kids do not become part of the "bad" ones. Well, you know what? No, these kids don't grow out of this kind of careless, who the H!ll cares, they continue to ask for help by outrageous means they intuit is asking for a STOP ME, PLEASE!
I don't know what is happening to the response of America's conscience, but it is collectively becoming less responsible.
I feel sorry for the kids, because they are asking for the care they need, the guidance lacking in today's family structure. And parents and adults, explore little into this - instead they just go on, with eyes half closed to what is going so wrong!
When I heard of this incident described here, I was really wondering about how class, after such a shocking act continued? Did the amazed teacher just say, "okay kids finish up and then go back to your seats, and please open your books to page 138 in your American History books?" or did she do something about it with the kids, the school and THE PARENTS to SHOW that something had gone wrong, "BIG, TO BECOME BIGGER, as time went on and eyes were not forced open???

Answer 2

I am now officially a senior citizen and if this had happened in my local school I, for one, would have been up at that school telling the principal what I thought of a teacher letting this happen in his/her classroom. If this did not get the teacher , at least, suspended I would have taken this up with the school board. I can guarantee I would have not been alone in doing these things. The children (boys and girls in middle school are at the oldest 13) should have been put into alternative school and received counseling about sexual matters. The parents of these children should also be put in parenting classes so that they will know how to teach their children about sex. The failures of all three groups will then have been addressed.

Answer 3

Your 15. Parents interfere. Sounds like your Mom has a handle on thing, its just different parenting styles. He's in for a rough road. Give it space and when he contacts you be discrete. Hey, locks on a door aren't going to do anything when an over protective parent is involved. Eventually his situation will change and you know what? At 15 you will change too, and so will he, you will move on, you both will. With any luck you'll take this experience and use it to your advantage for future relations with some one else. It is highly unlikely that in 10 years you two will still be together. At this age you lives still have so many changes to go through. I know it doesn't make it any easier for now, but it's the truth. It happens to all of us, well, not exactly what you went through but to a degree it does. Trust me, things will work out. Now may seem dark but it won't last forever. Cherish what you had, keep the moment alive, but there is nothing you can do. He has to do it if he wants to continue with you. It's up to him to stand up to his Mom and all you can do is to give him space to do it, if he contacts you let him know you still care, and reaffirm you are in his corner.

Answer 4

I know what you mean even some of the stuff that is going on at the elementary school. I finally pulled my kids out of the public school and put them in a christian school. Not saying that things won't happen there but I think it will be less likely. (i hope) Kids now a days see it everywhere on commercials from parent's they see it and there curious about what it is like. They hear about it from all there friends and they just want to fit in. I do very much disagree with what there doing and I think that the school should do more about supervising our children.

Answer 5

I am in your age bracket and I still remember finding an adult magazine when I was a teen because it was my first look at an unclothed female. Have you seen the internet lately? Kids are going through puberty much earlier than we did and they are exposed to this material daily and far far earlier than we were. It will be interesting to see if there are any long term affects due to this.

Answer 6

Perhaps the 2 kids were taking their biology lessons a step further. But I have to agree they should both be expelled from the school and the teacher given a severe warning or even dismissed.

Answer 7

The only incident I can find on the internet happened in suburban Indianapolis in november last year

Answer 8

Times have changed. Sex is casual now, especially for teenagers. Pay attention to questions asked here on Yahoo Answers. A lot of kids are agonizing over their sexual experiences or lack of experience: "I'm still a virgin - what's wrong with me?" Very sad.

Our society promotes all things sexual. Sex is a very powerful message in movies, books, magazines and advertising. But I would not try to change our society. I certainly do not promote trying to turn the clock backwards.

What to tell teenagers? I think the message has to be self control. Violence and weopons are not tolerated in the school. Nor should open sex be tolerated. I'm not sure what punishment is appropriate for sex.

If my kids were in that classroom, I would ask them how they felt about seeing sex in their class. I would let them know sex is a wonderful experience when they are ready for it, but sex at their age has dangerous consequences.

Answer 9

This behavior cannot be tolerated--What are some children learning at home----It's enough to make you go huh--What does the teacher consider a short time, another adult should have been present in her absence.

Answer 10

I don't understand that at ALL... at 43, I GUESS I'm middle-aged. I think the kids should be suspended, the parents brought in for questioning regarding their parenting.

Where was the TEACHER??
