His mother went to answer what she thought was his employer calling him in early. It turned out to be a photo of her son and his girlfriend. Let's just say she had an oral fixation. Things have never been the same between him and his mother. A relative of mine left his phone sitting out one day. His mother went to answer what she thought was his employer calling him in early.

Yeah, sexting can do that, and it's happening more and more. A friend came up with a great 'test' for matters of teen sexuality - if you have to justify it, then don't do it.

]]> Comment on The Study of Bullying by Shane Russo http://theintellectual.com/2011/05/12/the-study-of-bullying/#comment-7 Shane Russo Mon, 16 May 2011 16:02:07 +0000 http://theintellectual.com/?p=51#comment-7 I work in a public high school and I often feel like instances of bullying are not taken seriously even today. There seems to be a gender bias on the bullying scene. On several occasions, there have been instances where a male student has been punished for retaliating against a female students' bullying behavior. There is a "she's a girl and you are a boy so deal with it" attitude. Administrators, and teachers, need to do a better job with this. If we are to live in a sexually equal society, should not all aspects of life be covered? The problem is that we say one thing and we do another. The reason this happens is that humans are the only species that goes against instinct. Instinct tells us that males physically and intellectually superior to females. Millions of years of evolution cannot be completely altered in the course of a few thousand not matter HOW smart we have become. Back to my original point, the double standard in bullying is going to be something that comes more the forefront in schools but only when something bad happens. It will take a media explosion based on some horrible catastrophe to bring it out. Even when that happens, I fear that the male involved will just be punished because "you do not treat women that way" in spite of the fact that he may have been pushed to the breaking point by an female bully. The question is not if it will happen, the question is when. I work in a public high school and I often feel like instances of bullying are not taken seriously even today.

The mainstream media really does know how to wear out a story very fast, and then create other little stories from the main subject. I particularly love number 8.
