"What's your social signature...?"

Kids Bumpin and Grindin...

I was asked recently to chaperon a teen birthday party and was excited to do so. In my  wildest imaginings however, I was not prepared for what I would observe at a "supervised" teen party. But before I get into those surprising details, let me first say that this party was held at a nice venue, attendees were 15-17 yr. olds who had responded to invitations, food and drinks minus alcohol was served, and at least half of the 50+ teens had been dropped off by a parent or other adult. As for details, let’s begin with dress. I would guess that 99% of the girls wore a dress which in length was mid-thigh or shorter. And did I mention the dresses were body hugging and form fitting? There was plenty of make-up and 4 to 5 inch heels that accompanied the counterfeit “I am mature” attitudes. The guys were pretty much “unmentionables” except for those “popular” few with equally pretentious confidences.

Not sure where I've been or if I’m just considered “out of the loop”, old fashioned, or both but when the music started I was caught a bit off guard by the bumpin and grindin called dancing! For those of you who don't know what this is I have included a link below to school you. And did I tell you there were insistent requests to turn all lights off? As a chaperon I did not agree  with this request and did not hesitate to say so - we compromised with low lights from an adjoining room. Into the evening our attention was drawn to a crowd that had gathered in a corner of the dance floor. Closer inspection revealed the birthday girl seated in a chair, circled by her guests, with one of the boys standing over her gyrating his crotch area over her crotch area! Need I say this was quickly disbanded! There was obviously no shame in knowing this girl’s mother was in the room! If these kids felt it ok to conduct themselves in such a loose manner in the presence of adults and their peers, I could not help but wonder what they would do when alone in the dark, with no one watching?
