So yes, this is my umpteenth attempt at doing this whole "blog" thing. But inspired by my writer of a fiance, I have taken to the road again. Writing writing writing tidbits of things that you MAY or PROBABLY won't be inclined to read. Unless you really have that much time to just sit on ur ass doing a blog search and come across something I've written and think it witty enough to contact me about it or "comment" of how titillating. But everything (usual disclaimer) on here will be my opinion and typically my and every other intelligent person's opinion, so read on. I call myself a thinker, you may just call me arrogantly opinionated, but hey, everybody's got their shtick. (note to self: expand my vocabulary so I don't rely so much on right-click-thesaurus. thanks)
Ok, here's the headline: "It's happened again." What exactly happened again? Ask CNN and they'll tell you that some new 20something grade school teacher has poisoned the mind of America's virginal youth... oh deary deary my. Bull shit. What has been absent from every article reporting on these young teachers knocking boots with their students is the student: THE STUDENT. Do you really think that a teacher - a young, beautiful, PE teacher to add- has the ability to corrupt a young teenager on the path to knowledge and pure living? let's think.... ok, let's think longer... keep thinking, you'll get my point
Think about these kids.
1) A lot of them, per Mary Kay Letourneau, are apparently from less-than-ideal backgrounds. The 14 year old kid who's family is setting himself up for an ivy-league education is not fucking his teacher in the school parking lot. He's either not fucking her or fucking her in the apartment that his parents have bought him. Perhaps the kids who are willing to go that far with a TEACHER was not taught at home "Hey, don't fuck your teacher." Moot point? Probably would at least leave an imprint if followed by "Or I'm kicking your ass!" Parents need to be strict, hey mine were.
2) Myspace and facebook. Yes, I said it. I am referring to the very holy books of generation X that I myself even spend more time than I should stalking my friends on. And what does this have to do with teacher fucking? Sure, it's an avenue to be "friends" with your teacher online. Great. Big whoop. you get their number, it's all over anyway. No, I'm refering to the shit kids have access to on those things, particularly myspace. Tila Tequila, for one. I saw her page. I even felt encouraged to go take off all my clothes and take pictures of my abdomen afterward. Strippers, porn stars, and your every day honey just trying to make it Tequila style is on there. And how do kids have access? Add em as a friend, doesn't matter if you know em. But the point is this: kids have front seat access to shit tellin them that it's ok to be sexual, even at a young age. Are they under 16? Doesn't matter, they can enter an age that says they are older than they are and get access to all sorts of stuff. And parents don't check it, this isn't like the little chat rooms we had 10 years ago.
3) My final point. These kids are BOYS. Yea, there are girls getting molested too, but how many of them are in the news. Those kids get traumatized, these boys get trophies. I have friends, yes me, who banged a teacher either while we were their students or after graduation. It has happened, this is not new. And a lot of those boys GO FOR THE TEACHER. First it's hey, lemme hang out in your office after hours so I can talk about how "troubled" I am, then it's hey, let's be friends on myspace, then it's hey, come meet me at this park near my house, my parents won't know- i just want to talk. Then yada yada yada the kid has banged his teacher. These kids are not little corrupted angels. Shit. If a kid (like the one in Florida) can orchestrate getting a cousin to drive him and his teacher around in the back of his SUV so they can "do what it do," then no, they're not being preyed upon
So my point: sure, the teacher's are messin up by having sex with their students. Definitely, no question about that. It's not like they tripped and fell on the dick, some kind of choice happened and clearly went the wrong way. But listen... look at these kids too. Our media (yes, the MEDIA whoaaaahahaha whooooooahahahahahah) show these kids that sexuality is where it's at and that fuckin is cool and fucking a teacher, man- you must be the shit if you can take it that far. Treat the teachers, yes. But we're all to "blame" somewhat for what we expose our kids to. Treating the problem means treating the WHOLE problem- not just the part that's easy to criticize.
My opinion may not be popular, but I am an American
