freshman "social"

[avemaria40]

cmom, i wish my school was like that. sometimes at casual dances, it's all i can do to keep my purity when other kids are doing that. i think this year, i won't go to any dances except prom and homecoming b/c when everyone's in their nice clothes, they don't do stuff like that. And if my friends ask me why i won't go to casual dances, i'll be honest and say, it offends my morals.

I went to an alternative high school for 2 years, and there were lots of prostitutes and coke dealers and so I used to see that stuff all the time. nothing surprises me anymore...

but even when I was in public school, chaperones would never let anything like that happen at a school dance.

I would recommend talking to the principal/headmaster and writing an opinion article in the school newspaper, if you have one. Also, what about telling your parents? I remember when I was going to my alternative high school, lots of people were doing drugs on the school bus and I had to get my mom involved. It was embarassing (since i was known as the nark) but well worth it.

[curtins]

whats an alternative high school?

[ReinnieR]

hmm hs days

well i remember HS i was very heterodox

i see this from the other end not from your end so

the high schools i've been too are much worse

i was in jersey city new jersey so yeah

but now that i'm back in to the faith again i see were you're coming from

i'm sorry that you had to go through that but kids will be kids and that's what they do and it's really sad isn't it?

I was going to say that "good Catholics" dance leaving enough room for the Holy Ghost.

You need an order of tough nuns in full habit walking around smackin' people with rulars.

[curtins]

YES!

ok update:

I wrote a letter to the priest and I'm meeting with him on monday to discuss

[philothea]

Excellent news!

I'm very curious to find out what he says.

[PadrePioOfPietrelcino]

WOW!

It may be that I'm from Kansas, or that I went to public school, but I NEVER saw anything that bad at any school dance, even at the many dances I DJ'd at other schools

*Prays Hard*

[Philippe]

[White Knight]

Now I know why I didn't go to public school. Edited October 1, 2005 by goldenchild17

ok sorry for not posting lately but I did meet with him and basically reiterated and with more detail what I said in my letter. when he was announcing about the homecoming dance he said "and because this is a Catholic school there will only be appropriate dancing no grinding" Everyone laughed.

I have a feeling I might be meetting with him in the future though to discuss things further.

[missionseeker]

That's good.

[Proud2BCatholic139]

I don't go to school dances.
Everyone is lame and they don't want to be fun and goofy.
And every couple looks like they are having sex.
I'm going to go to prom though. That's probably the only dance I will go to.



I think no matter where you go, people are human and things like that are going to happen.

[Philippe]

i'm hittin up every dance and i'm gonna have a good time without any dry humping!

Curtins,
The same thing happens at my Catholic school. Don't be discouraged. You have a beautifully strong sense of right and wrong...CLING to that! Don't lose it, and you'll likely encounter some people who feel the same way you do. My freshman year was tough because I felt SO alone, but bit by bit I've found friends who value the Faith as much as I do.
Talk to your chaplain and if necessary, your Bishop. That kind of behaviour shouldn't be happening in a Catholic school.
