DS is Y9, and often comments on the amount of "snogging" that goes on at breaktimes. He said today that one girl in his year with a Y11 boyfriend was getting particularly into it and they were "making noises and writhing about, she was kind of climbing on him".
DD has just started Y7, earlier this year in her previous school she was turning cartwheels on the grass, laughing and playing - now she comes home and reports in disgust about all the tongues.
It just seems so sad, somehow. Yes, I'm sure I'm being naive and they have to grow up sometime and blahblahblah but is it normal to have all this fevered snogging? I can't say I remember it back in my day (which was, admittedly, some time ago now). I realise the teachers can't be all eyes but it just seems to be accepted. Surely it should be discouraged at school?
