I'm not surprised. my husband intercepted a letter from a 6th grader today that was basically spelling out how much she liked her boyfriend kissing her... um... there. My husband caught her passing the note in class and told her that he'll be calling her mom after he'd read it (silently of course.) This girl was begging to keep her mom from finding out.

I've mentioned before that students in his middle school are pregnant - few with their second baby before leaving the 8th grade.

Kids today are so much wiser about these things than I was at the same age. Part is due to seeing their parent's casual view of sex, another is due to what they listen to music-wise and what they watch in the movies and on tv. It seems they want so badly to grow up. They are 12 pushing to be 30.
