In other words:
There is no right or wrong way to use your delicate and immeasurably precious sexuality.Here's a box of Trojans instead.Have a blast.This is such a tragedy. No one is looking out for these children. Neither their parents, nor their teachers, nor the school district as a whole. It's frightening once you realize that Portland, MN is both a microcosm of American schools as a whole and an omen of times to come.
