Kissing games at my DD's school in 3rd grade - TMI warning

Oh my God. I think I'm going to be sick.

One of my good friends, whose kids go to the same school has a daughter in third grade. She told her mom that a lot of the kids in her class go behind one of the buildings and play kissing games at recess. One of her friends did it I guess and the boy told her to open her mouth when he kissed her.

I am freaking out. These are little kids! What the h*ll is happening to this world??? I

I've been wanting to pull my kids out of PS so that they can learn in a better environment. I've never even thought that I'd be wanting to pull my soon-to-be 8yo out of school to protect her innocence.

Are you freaking kidding me?????

And it only gets worse I'm afraid

My 11yo 5th grader just went back to PS in Feb. He has already learned lots of things I never in my wildest dreams thought an 11 year old should know. Now he comes home upset because many kids are calling him g*y because he didn't know these things

 

At the PS here my friends kid was in Kindy and the boys pulled her bloomers down and were trying to touch her. This happened 3 days in a row. The girl is now HS. I can't believe what would make the little boys act like that, and where were the teachers when this was going on.

 

Oh, all it does it get worse. My dd 11 is ps and she was talking to me the other day and the words threesome came out of her mouth. I had to double take and make sure I heard what she was talking about. It is exactly what I thought! Her friend was telling her about her doing that. What????? They are 11!!!!! I told my daughter she was even too young to even say that, think it, or even be around that girl again!!!!!! It is sad and scary what they learn in school.

 

I am not sure what district it was, but one of the area districts had a problem with a jr. high class. A young girl was performing oral sex on another student while other students recorded it on their camera phones. The teacher was in the class and never noticed what was going. I assume the teacher figured the TV would babysit while the lights were off.

 

This thread makes me more determined to find some peaceful territory with Garrett and get him back home next year!

 

In my school district 4 out of 10 kids in the elementary school have STD's in their mouths from oral sex. My neighbor has a boy who will be 12 soon and headed to jr high next year and I have heard some of the raunchiest things come out of his mouth, which I found out he learned at school. My kids are no longer allowed to play with him.

 

Just tell your friend's daughter that kissing is what makes babies and see what happens.

Quite seriously, my wife's grandmother believed this up until the time she was married.

 

I teach in the third grade and also sub, most of the third graders have crushes and have kissed another student. Sounds like typical third grades in ps.

 

That's horrible!! I've always been a little sad that my daughter is considered a little odd by the other girls - she's acting like a 7yo and they're trying to act like they're 25. Now I'm glad that she's not friends with a lot of the girls in her class.

I'm going to be praying constantly that my husband gets his %&*$ out of his &#$*# and realizes that sending our kids into this type of environment is not acceptable. I told him about this before he left for work and he said that we have more influence because I'm a stay at home mom. WHAT???? He's the "our kids would never do that" type.

Ugh.

 

We recently had a 17 year old young man give the message at church. He asked all the kids in the cogregation how many girls were pregnant in their school (we live in a town of 1100 and our consolidated high school has maybe 75 kids per grade). They couldn't count how many girls were pregnant. Then he asked how many girls are pregnant in our jr. high! In his district there are 3. My mouth dropped. I just cannot rejoice enough that my kids are home again.

 

Um....I find myself reading this with my mouth hanging open...which I promptly shut and hurt my teeth.

My son, once, had a girl when he was in a K class ask him if she could kiss him on the cheek. He was super grossed out-but he liked her so he said it was ok.

I'm so upset by this-I don't know what to think.

 

It may not be popular to write this in an age when, for many families, both parents must work in order to make ends meet, but I'd suggest the issue isn't so much about PS as it is about parents not being around when their children get home from school. Much of what goes on is because there is no supervision between leaving school and a parent arriving home from work. In Atlanta, they did a documentary about this a few years back, and what happened at home when no parents were around was unbelievable.

 

I work around preschool kids. I have had to pull two boys off of each other 5 yrs old. One was laying down and the other climbed on top of him and started french kissing him. I have two and 3 year olds try to french on constantly stopping three year old boys from trying to hump girls. It is amazing what kids learn at a young age. When I am with the older kids we have to keep boys away from girls. They touch each other in their privates, hide under tables and make out. We even have issues of same sex kids making out. It makes me sick to know my kids are being around these kids. Hopefully this is my last month working there. Three year olds say such bad things to each other. The say more cuss words then I know. It is bad.

 

Yuck. At 9 my DS still thinks most girls are gross. Now DS 11 is another story.

 

Steve, I totally agree, as does my wonderful hubby who insists no matter what he will keep me at home with the kids.

 

My daughter will be 14 and a freshman in HS next year. We talk very openly about things like this. I always want her to know that she can come to me. Even her best friend has come to me before to talk. I asked my dd just recently if any of her friends were sexually active. I was informed that none of her friends were but that she knew of some 7th graders that are pregnant. That truly disgusts me.

 

I think that's a lot of it. But I think another big thing is when the parents are around, they still don't care what their kids watch, see, hear, listen to, or are exposed too.

Our neighbors openly talk about crude sex topics right in front of their 7 year old daughter. They let her watch R rated movies and soap operas.

This 7 year old uses the phrase 'humping' calls people 'gay' and a 'douche bag' points out every penis on every animal around.

3 of our closest friends that my kids are around quite often are gay and my 6 year old has no idea they are gay or what gay means. They know how we feel about homosexuality being a sin, and that we'd rather out kids not know about homosexuality until it happens outside our control, so they don't do public displays of affection around our kids.

My kids will grow up one day and complain about how strict I am about what TV shows they can watch and what music they can listen to, but I don't care. I control as much as I can what they are exposed to.

The parents don't care that their kids are exposed to these things. They think it's harmless. It's obviously not....

 

Just hard to believe that young kids acting like this. I remember kissing games be just chasing each other just to give a quick peck.

 

Haven't read the other responses but this is my take.........for what its worth!

I think if there is a problem/issue it is always blamed on the public school system. There is not a class any where, in any ps that teaches 3rd graders to kiss their classmates, so how can it be just a ps problem? I think we need to place the blame where it belongs....on the MOTHER! No, kidding! Not the mother but the parents, why are these kids kissing other students in the 3rd grade? Do they see it on TV, on the streets, what?

This is a hs forum but unfortunately the ps can't be our scapegoat every time we see something ugly going on. Sorry!
