My son goes to a mixed education school. You know - boys and girls at school together as opposed to single-sex schools. He's made friends with a couple of girls who go to all-girls schools. I don't consider myself an old fart or naieve but I have been stunned at a couple of things that he's told me.
Both of these girls (who go to different schools) appear to lead double lives. They are early teens and at the weekends give their respective parents the lie that they're staying over at friends. Secretly they're tarting themselves up to go out to nightclubs and bars and flirt with (older) men and drink alcohol. They've even forged identity cards to get them into bars and nightclubs.
Do they not realise the dangers of doing this?
It tends to be the girls from single-sex schools. It's like they see a male and go crazy!!!!!!!! At their age - with their whole lives in front of them they're going to end up like burnt up young tarts with fried livers and creaking with STD's!!! And their stupidly fooled parents are thinking that they're at a friend's house tucked up in bed giggling about boys that they fancy and having midnight feasts in 1950's style Enid Blyton books! I am afraid not! They're enacting their sex and alcohol fantasies and feeling very grown up but not actually having the emotions to deal with all this.
I do despair!
