Male Teenage Fantasies Come Crashing Down
Well, with all these cases popping up of teenage boys being abused by their teachers:
some guys were starting to think that maybe they'd like to go back to 8th grade.
Gentlemen, it is my solemn duty to confront you with reality:

Same thought I had. Was it a school for the blind, perhaps?

MY EYES MY EYES!!
BTW, which is the one from my high school?

I don't know Ken, but relatives of the last one were most assuredly at mine.

Oh, here's the one from my HS. She was the first, all the others were copycat crimes.

No, I think Letourneau was a few years earlier.

You're right, I forgot how long Letourneau was in prison. BTW, here's another story about the one from my school I recall seeing at the time:
PETA's Bruce Friedrich defends prisoner's right to vegan food on The O'Reilly Factor
Tanya Hadden, an ex-teacher charged with kidnapping a 15-year-old student (for the weekend, with his consent) and having sex with him, is vegan. Her parents have said she is unable to get vegan meals in prison and has lost as much as thirty pounds during her stay. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has taken up her cause. As a result, Bruce Friedrich, PETA's vegan campaign coordinator was invited onto Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor," with John Kasich, who was sitting in for Bill O'Reilly.

sniff...that's just hateful. One less-than-attractive player out of all the bimbos and you guys pounce like a pack of howling dogs. Obviously, you can't judge a book by it's cover. And neither could those strapping young lads.

In my defense, I'm going through LGBT withdrawals because there were no good stories today.

Yes, I am sure she has a great personality.......[rolleyes]

Mr. Bingley, are you sure that isn't one of your HS teachers?
Posted by: The Real JeffS at March 4, 2005 12:24 PM
Yeah...but it sure as hell could be one of my classmates!

Sister - you don't realize, this is a 15-year old boy. There are hormones involved. Discernment is a learned skill (or so they tell me).

"Discernment" and "15" certainly do not go together, Nightfly, but in this latest instance...

Classify the blondes as 'fantasies come alive' then, with this one aberration indicative of Oedipal forces at work. It was West Virginia, right? It's weird in them mountains. Real weird.

THS, calling a state that's elected Bob Byrd to the Senate for nearly 50 years "weird" is being charitable.

Well, I am the touchy feely empathetic diplomatic one in the family. Hadn't you noticed?
