The was that time when all the rock and roll-loving kids stood in line for three days to get tickets to see the Ramones but then Principal Togar took the tickets away. So then the Ramones come to the school to play a song one of the students wrote. Then the Ramones and the kids took over the school before burning it to the ground.

He became White Out 403, still thinking about those preteen sluts.
Yo we done pretending we don't know how memories work?
I can put myself back in the front seat of my Bronco II in high school right now with all my friends. Thing is, when I do that I'm not a 47 year old bald guy hanging out with 17 year olds from the 1990s...I'm 17 in that memory, too.
Or if I think back to my dad carrying me around. I'm not a 6'4" guy being carried by a 5'9" dude. I'm a little kid with my head on his shoulder.
The way you guys are talking it's like you should turn yourself into the police if a compromising image of an underage girlfriend or boyfriend pops into your brain for being a pedophile even though you were a kid back then, too.
You guys are really going to sit here and try to make White Out feel like a creep for mentioning a high school slut? What? When you say something like that the obvious and implied context is you're saying it through your own adolescent memory. I just think he's been here long enough without showing any proclivity whatsoever for underage girls that we can interpret his story in the way it was intended, which did not include an element of pedophilia.
And guess what? High school sluts are still alive and well. I think they're called thots now, though.

The incident actually related to my school was a female English teacher getting arrested for her relationship with a female student when I was in grade 12.
But the Walmart Baby (TM) was more memorable that year.
Someone walked into the Walmart bathroom, gave birth to a baby in a bathroom stall, and left them. All the rage for a bunch of teenagers.
I played a lot of volleyball, and there was a woman who coached one of the club teams. She was tiny, but scary as hell, and was one of the coaches you were glad you didn't play on her team because she was brutally tough on them.
She was involved in Alberta Volleyball, and ran some of those tryouts and it was not fun. She always had a few "favourite players" though, and was like a whole different person with them.
Apparently, she ran off to the states with one such player as soon as he turned 18, never to be seen again.
I wish I could remember what school she was a coach at, I'm sure some of you would know her. I think her first name was Raica or something like that.

I think she was in junior high.
Which is cool, because it was OK to call her a slut in junior high.
Quick question: how many times did you use the word “f****t” growing up? It was big in the nineties so it’s not like I’m judging. When you relay that memory using your grown up brain, do you still refer to the same people you called “f****t” the same way?
I doubt it. And if you do, it says something. Just like if you call a 13 year old girl a slut when you’re 40 and have grown the #### up.
Thanks
EDIT: I mean it was funny, and I was happy to take a little jab, but since you decided to be Mr.Serious here you go.
A few interesting moments I remember from the schools I attended (anonymising as much as possible):
- One of my sibling's elementary school teachers was jailed for being a pedophile
- A guy getting serviced under a blanket on a field trip in high school was threatened by the girl's father later on
- A guy sat on the hood of car, so the person driving floored the gas pedal and then slammed on the brakes. The guy on the hood flew off and was pretty badly hurt.
- A few girls bullied a teacher until they quit. No idea how the girls didn't suffer more consequences for it.

Look at us getting all serious. Wtf, eh.
I will do you the respect of answering sincerely.
Yeah, we used the f word and the g word casually and liberally. Was there malice in those terms? I think sometimes, yes. No wonder not one single person was out in my entire school career, eh? Didn't make my first gay friend who I'd do things with socially just the two of us until I was 25. Pretty pathetic.
If I go back in my memory and look at things I'm not proud of I'm still in the context of the time. I would like me now to be able to go parent and coach me then, that's for sure. I'd be one woke and progressive mofo, that's for sure. Can't say I don't daydream about that sometimes.
As for high school or junior high sluts, I mean, one major difference is being a thot is a choice versus being born gay. Of course we can get into the weeds on slut shaming, double standards, what was going on at home that led some young girl to give up the goods to all the dudes, etc. I was just saying people were pretending white out was looking at high school girls lustfully through his 40 year old eyes when I don't believe that's what he was doing.

I mean if the contention was just the use of the word slut, fair enough. But it's the notion of it not being okay to remember or talk about things that happened because you're older now that I find ridiculous.

When all the black kids fought the white kids in a full on race riot in the cafeteria that spread throughout the whole school during lunch in high school.
In our highschool there was the Lebanese vs the East Asians for a good 2 years.

Calling someone a slut 2 decades later is weird imo even if you're explaining something that happened back then especially when you for no reason mention she's a realtor now like that is in any way relevant.
Sorry I agree that it's weird as hell.

Dude, stop that's embarrassing. You're not getting into the weeds with stuff like that, you just said it. Turns out of the biggest "sluts" in junior high was getting diddled by her step dad on the regular, now that's not everyones story but it is absolutely bizarre to still use the word slut to refer to any kid of any era.
Sometimes a kids "choice" is how they were raised and the normalcy about sex, some of it is coping.
As for my jealousy comment it was just a shot about him not being one one of the kids getting a handjob in the field. Not currently jealous.
Sorry for the seriousness of the post, just the word slut to refer to a kid, even one 40 years ago, is f'n weird.

Absolutely no one said that.

The way I read it was that the main point of contention was her age rather than specifically the language used. And it's pretty clear from the silly discussion still continuing that I'm not the only one who interpreted it that way
But if I simply read it wrong then shrug, nothing to see here, carry on folks
