I was just about to make a topic about this case. What a
coincidence.
I have read about it in the newspaper. I was shocked and
flabbergasted.
In the first place, why are they being punished ?
I can understand it if they were stealing, fighting, or
vandalising and destroying school property.......but they were not
doing anything wrong, they were not harming anybody, including
themselves.
It is part of life experience and part of growing up
process.
I dont understand why the school principal need to expel 1 boy,
the student who asked them to kiss, and suspend the 2 boys who
kissed.
It was merely joking and horseplaying.
It is completely excessive and heavy-handed.
I really wonder, if adults and authority figures do this, is it
really helping the children or harming the children actually ?
They need to be allowed to live their lifes as teenagers and as
youths.
Dont keep placing breaks on them.
They will become normal and they will develop as well-rounded
and well-balanced individuals. If adults and authority figures do
this, it is actually harming them, it will make them become
emotionally stunted.
Please note it is not even a sexual act, because neither of
those 2 boys are gays. They are not homosexuals. They are straight
guys. They were merely joking amongst friends.
So the school punish them for a joking act among friends.
They are being told they cannot joke.
Is this really necessary ?
I really wonder why some adults and authority figures like to
sabotage and straightjacket their youths so much.
I can understand it if it was a sexual act and conservative
adults want to instill conservative sexual mores and punish them,
but actually this is not even a sexual act, it is merely joking
amongst guys.
Sometimes I think maybe they need to have a youth on their
panel, because I think these adults have forgotten their time when
they were young.
