I’ve Never Been Happier to NOT be in High School!!

While you were busy following Mariah and Nick around Magic Mountain, I was busy trying to decide whether or not I really wanted to post about two stories that really made me glad to NOT be in High School anymore.

Case 1
Apparently supermaning, batmaning and spidermaning “dat ho” wasn’t enough. The new dance craze sweeping the teens of Memphis is “rape dat ho”??? That’s Right I said RAPE!
Now I’m not too old, so “freak” dancing is not new or surprising to me. Anyone who graduated post-Luke has participated or witnessed some type of freaky choreography at a school function. And yes there are ways to get around being “caught” by chaperones had this been a normal group of freaky teens. What truly makes me sad and worried is that these kids/future attackers are actually yelling standing around chanting “Rape dat ho!” and yes there are some dumb little girls participating in this foolishness!!!

How ignorant, self-debasing and desensitized to you have to be as a female (these are not women) to participate in this type of behavior while folks chant encourage a violent sexual act to be perpetrated against you!?? All of the girls in this clip are fools, simpletons, idiots; ignoramuses, little dummies (Yeah you might need to look some of this stuff up!).Seems harsh, well life’s harsh. Learn to respect yourselves ladies, when that foolishness even started you should have sat your little fast ***es down and refused to participate in a dance that degrades and denigrates who you are. I mean really?? How did we as a nation and a culture go from “Let’s Wait a While” to “Don’t Stop Get it, Get it” to “RAPE DAT HO!?”

Teachers! I am the first person that will tell you that it looks crazy hard being a teacher. Bad kids from bad families with bad behavior and you’re supposed to impact their lives?? Kudos for that. I’m also one of the main people that will tell you that students can and do pull the “wool” over on the chaperones. BUT when you hear a group of people loudly screaming “rape dat ho!” you can’t claim that you didn’t know what was going on? You should have called the cops and been looking for victims on the floor with all of that going on. These kids didn’t even try to hide this deplorable behavior and apparently they didn’t have to.

Young boys, just because a girl is dumb enough to let you do something doesn’t mean you do it. Just because your friends do something doesn’t mean you do it. Just because something seems like a fun thing to try doesn’t mean you do it! Get where I’m going?? A real man thinks about what’s best for him in the long run and makes proper decisions based on that. Real men don’t engage in “fake” acts of mob style sexual violence. The brutal truth is that all it takes is one dummy/pervert /sicko to slip up and take things too far. And then the “ho” that you thought was cool with your debauchery will become your victim and you’ll be the one in serious trouble. It’s time for all of us to stop raising boys and start raising men! No, not in the football-loving, he-man, homophobic way that many of us think about; but in the real, respectable, responsible kind of way. A real young man with principals and strength wouldn’t participate in this garbage

To kids of both genders I’m about to quote one of my favorite PSA’s from the late 90’s early 2000’s; RAPE IS CRIME, ALWAYS!!! It is not to be joked around about or played with or claimed falsely and certainly not encouraged. Rape is a violent, vile, disgusting act. It is not about sex it is about violence and power. Take it seriously! It destroys lives!! These kids obviously don’t value themselves, their reputations, or their bodies. This truly makes me sad.

Case 2
Now the next thing that makes me sad is the Marche Taylor and the little nekkid dress she wore to her prom, then she refused to leave and got arrested. There are several things wrong with this. First of all Ms. Girl is living with her sick Grandmother, because her mother says she couldn’t handle her behavior problems (any self respecting person would send her ‘bad” child stay with their aging mother is probably a large part of the problem!!) The girl snuck and got the dress made without Nana’s consent (Because she’d just suffered from a stroke). Now Grandma is sick of the media attention and rightfully wants both the Marche and her foolish mother (who’s calling the media and putting more business out) to just let it go.
The truth is that this kid is severely out of touch with reality. We’ve all seen our favorite celebs in little skimpy outfits and like “I’d look good in that” (or at least I have) but in real life we know there’s a time and place for everything. The Prom is really not the place for an out fit so…so…so…nude. Those same celebs don’t wear those outfits on the streets or to formal event. I’ve never seen anyone wear something like that to a formal award show (except the true F-lister. They do dumb stuff for the free press)

But I can’t get too mad at the girl. Every time I go to the club I see grown women wearing blouses for dresses. They spend the entire night pulling and tugging at their clothes like they just realized that they’re only and inch away for flashing everyone or being an assault victim.
When our favorite style mavens wear sexy, skimpy things on the red carpet all we see if the star appeal. We fail to realize that just out of the camera’s frame is a 300 pound bodyguard named “Bear” Making sure that no one touches them. We regular girls don’t get that luxury. For some reason we as a women think that naked= sexy and attractive. But that’s not true, being sexy doesn’t mean showing everything at once. I’ve had days when I went to the club in pants and a top and gotten just as much if not more attention then the chick with the underwear shorts on. Beauty and sex appeal has to come from you!

SOLUTION TIME!!

I think a large part of the problem that could have squelched both incidents is that Prom has lost it’s purpose. Yes it’s fun and it’s the last hurrah of High school. But prom is really supposed to be a “coming out party” of sorts. It’s supposed to get you prepared for the classy events that may occur in your future as an adult (like office Christmas parties, weddings, sorority galas, balls etc.). It was not intended to be a free for all in Dillard’s dresses. Perhaps We should institute mandatory etiquette classes in high schools starting in Freshman year so that by the time these kids graduate they’ll understand that this is not appropriate behavior. They can’t take this foolishness with them to college, or office parties or weddings. They can’t refuse to leave the premises of a building and then get mad when they get arrested for it. But more importantly they have to learn that no one represents them but themselves and right no they’re looking mighty ignut. It’s time for a class in class!
