		<description>LISTEN UP TATE STUDENTS POSTING HERE

The fact that this act even went on in a classroom astonishes me and I find it appauling. Students taking up for this jerk are seriously mislead. There is such a penalty for indecent exposure my friends and he would be expelled anyways for that. He messed his own present life anyways for trying to pull that type of behavior. Also, there is such a thing called being scared of what could happen, there have been too many incidents in this country in schools. Parents and Teachers need to step up their game! This has become sickening and I definitely won&#039;t be putting my daughter in a public school. 

I&#039;m 26 years old and to see what goes on in high school these days disgusts me. These teenagers that are pulling these bullying shananigans and just horrific fights are ridiculous and don&#039;t realize that they&#039;re mostly screwing with their own future&#039;s. GO TO SCHOOL AND DO THE WORK, YOU&quot;LL REALIZE HIGH SCHOOL ISN&#039;T WHAT YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT! GROW UP! I graduated in 2003 and let me just tell you it goes by fast. So, do yourself a favor and quit playing the stupid high school games or it will be reflected in the rest of your dull life! 7</description>

		<description>Anyone who does not think this situation is HORRIFIC should never have a son or daughter!!!!!! If my son disrespected any girl in any fashion he is no man! If this girl has a background of such actions there is alot more to her personal history that has led to such a low respect for herself! My son would and been taught to respect women at all cost even if she does not respect herself! there is something deeper with her and my son has been taught to help with healing and building her but NOT to aid in her destroying herself even more! My belief is if she allowed it then her problems are deep if not he raped her! In any case HE is to blame!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>RE:-Student IN Classroom

You say you sit behind him and didn’t see anything. You have his back because you don’t want him to punk you like he does those boys back there. You know hes a punk and has bad temper. you know most of class is scared of him. You seen him get put out of class for bad stuff? don’t play him up like hes a good guy when you know hes a joker a lot and we laugh at him but he dont do right and you know it. You know him a long time. He is good to some of us but punks more than he is good to. We didn’t see them but we know how he is and we would take a lie test and pass it would you? 

we may put our fear behind us and give statements about the friends that blocked and they will be charged for helping. You may want to change your story while there is time. backing a bad guy will never get you far. be a hero and tell the truth. She has a past, so what. He is no better and he did wrong. 

we all lie in class and pretend to be against her because too many ears listen. we know he may not be in class no more but he could still get his punks in and school dont keep us from it and you know it. your group has wimps that dont take up for girls you should be ashamed for it. one day we will be stronger and will scream and tell on guys that punk.

		<description>Honestly, I was in the classroom when this happened, and I was sitting right behind them. I didn’t see anything happen. I mean, i’m not saying they didn’t do anything, but she could have at least screamed, bite him, some sort of way to get away if she was forced. I’m sure they both agreed to it. I’m not trying to like accuse anybody of anything, it’s just interesting.. the two stories we’re getting from both students. And to the people who have said anything, the other students sitting next to them were their best friends, and i’m sure they were telling her to and purposley blocking our teachers view. But as I said before, I was sitting right behind them, and honestly did not know ANY of this was going on.</description>

		<description>REGARDING:
“so why is it that when a sexual assault happens its always the guy’s fault, that girl obviously didn’t say no,”

Interesting that you don’t know. Actually, it isn’t always so, but it’s more common. There are several reasons.

One is that the men involved are commonly bigger and stronger than the women. If an assault takes place, the weaker party is unlikely the culprit. 

Another is that for men to perform sexually, their bodies have to respond in such a way as to make penetration possible. (There are forms of assault which do not require this, though.)

And, of course, there is the fear concept. 

The person who is scared is less likely to put up an effective resistance. Thus the assumption that the girl could always say NO isn’t always valid. 
She might fear for her life or her reputation. 
She might know there are people who always blame the female for being the “temptress” in her own rape. 
They’ll say she dressed provocatively or engaged in sexual activity in the past or she expressed some interest in the attacker, therefore she’s fair game and what he did is A-okay. 
She may even know some will call her a liar even if others accuse the rapist.

A defense attorney was showing the jury how unreasonable it was to assume his client could possibly have raped the accuser if she were unwilling. He placed a bottle on the table and spun it and demanded the prosecutor show how you could insert a pencil in the mouth of the spinning bottle.

The prosecutor took off his shoe and smashed the bottle with the heel, then inserted the pencil into what remained of the bottle.

		<description>so why is it that when a sexual assualt happens its always the guys fault, that girl obviously didn&#039;t say no, so she should be in jail. Yes what they did should be a private matter, but in school really grow up kids.</description>

		<description>To Splat,

     I have been in one of the &#039;BEST public school&quot; in my day,  about 35 years ago.  I was scared to reveal to my parents the mess that was going on in the classrooms and especially the bus. This made me keep to myself and keep my distance from others Was not a social butterfly!!! .I would sit in the first seat on the bus to try to stay out of the way.  I was myself when I was home is a safe place. My high school years I finally moved to Christian school.  I &quot;know&quot; the public schools are the same and has gotten worse. I have taught many years in Christian and secular. I have chosen to homeschool my children. They are grown now. They have adapted to society quite well. Wouldn&#039;t change a thing. I say &quot;SHUT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS DOWN&quot;.Parents step up to the plate. Put priorities in order. Where there is a will, there is a way. Anyone can homeschool.</description>

		<description>I hope this little girl knows that when it&#039;s a serious charge like that, you&#039;re messing with a young mans life...not just his education. So what if you&#039;re gonna get I trouble too and possibly expelled. There&#039;s alternative schools and other programs to still get the degree, but that boy can never get his life back after going through this. The truth always comes to light.
Lesson to all is think wisely about your decisions because you don&#039;t know the effects until it&#039;s too late to hang your mind!
And to s.l.b. I completely disagree with that last statement... That&#039;s almost like saying men can&#039;t get raped when in reality they can and are!!!</description>
