Thirteen Things About Me in High School Since the theme this week among one of my Blogger buddies is the high school experience, I decided to glom off of her idea, since I had none of my own. Visit Pam for more tales from her personal teenage wasteland, and wish her a safe journey south to attend her 20th high school reunion. 1. I never attended a dance. Even the Sadie Hawkins dance, where the girls were supposed to ask the boys, or the Senior Prom. Since I never had a girlfriend, the choice was pretty easy. 2. There is no picture of me in the Yearbook. I protested the idea, and subsequently wound up in the back of the book with the wasteoids and losers.

it is not just men who commit crimes related to sex, look up “Shanda Sharer”. I think all aspects of sexuality should be covered in depth (taught at school as apposed to ones neighbor) at an earlier age, especially the confusing emotions that accompany them.
Of coarse the religious right think sex is dirty and only to be used for impregnating, with the lights off in the missionary position under a cross, and not spoken about. But their children will find out about it on the street from other kids who know very little about it as I did, and we wanted to know about it because our hormones were raging and we were interested, confused, and frustrated.
BTW, I did read the whole article, and many others written on the subject, including books. Like Bill Maher I had a hard time loosing my religion but it was inevitable since I have always been the type to ask “Why?”, and who the hell said it in the first place.
Later... Glad you did a post on this as well
