Yeah, I don't see much supervision.

Thank goodness I have a boy. I am not a prude but some of those girls look really skanky. Scary that they feel the need to dress that way to get attention.

Okay - so while I hate to see girls do the booty dance - or whatever they call it - this is not Footloose and unfortunatly girls dance like this.

What did you want the "supervisors" to do - tell them they need to leave room for the holy spirit? (that is what our chaperones would tell us)

I am not sure what else should have been done - by the supervisor.

I am not saying it is right but what should they have done?

Some girls are dressed way slutty but were they to be denied access.

By supervised - I would think they were not really suppose to teach boys and girls how to act but to make sure they are safe and not drinking.

So I leave the question out there - by supervised - does that mean they can not booty dance (does that crazy dance have a name), not make out, not sit on each others laps.

I was at a girls night out - we are old but ventured to a club - everybody danced like that - we left to some quiet place to drink copious amounts of wine and laugh at how appalled we were at the dancing - the ones with girls were like - oh my daughter is going to be getting a talking to this week about appropriate ways to dance. The ones with boys were like - how do we get a boy to not let a girl dance that way. (But I will talk to them.)

Then we laugh about how old we were and how are parents tried so hard to get us not to wear the jeans so tight we couldn't put our hand in our pants, 80's clothes and use the word "like" every other word. We also reminded each other what we were doing at this age.

Not that it is right but that it is a parental issue not a "supervision" issue.

BTW - 90% of the photos showed a very well behaved crowd - so I would hate to throw the "baby out with the bathwater".

May be a good opportunity to provide feedback to make this better than to just say it is all bad. Teenagers need stuff like this so I would hate to see this go away because of a few inappropriate things.

I'm sorry, but those pictures are just crazy. Some of those kids look really young.

I completely agree that some of those girls are dressed horribly.

PP, what do you recommend? How do you make it 'better'?

It is a little scary, though.  That pictures are taken and up there on the internet forever.   And tagged.  I googled one girl and found out she's a sophomore at McLean.   Very creepy to be able to ascertain that type of personal information about someone that quickly.  I know everything's public now, but I don't want my kids to be that vulnerable.  

First step -- no open or searchable facebook pages.  I don't know what else....

Booty dancing is one thing. Lap dances are another. That is what bothered me.

There is nothing wrong with some rules, no exposed mid-riff, everyone boys & girls keep their shirts on, and no "grinding". Kids get a warning (sharpie mark on their hand) after two marks they are out.

PP, Look at pic 75, that boy in the blue shirt looks like he is 12? There is an earlier pic of him getting basically a lapdance but couldn't tell he looked so young.

What kids do always seems worse to parents than what the parents did at the same age. That being said, I would go nuts if I saw pics of my daughter grinding on a kid. Last time I checked, that was a strip club move. In regards to how the girls are dressed, my guess is, 99% of them were seen by their parents before leaving, and, when they came back. If the parents didn't find the outfits too revealing, oh well. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Looks like the sponsor doesn't want the parents to know what goes on.

Wow, what's with the 11 yr old getting a lap dance and later a grinding from the girl in stripes?!

I feel OLD. At our jr high dances we did have a dress code. No short shorts, no midriff. This was before the era of baggy pants on boys, but I'm sure they would have banned that too. They did under-the-bleacher checks and chaperones would come around and separate anyone who was making out during Stairway to Heaven. This was late 80s public school.

Actually I bet some of those girls changed when they got there, or got dressed at a friend's house with a more permissive parent. That's the scary thing - most of these kids look like they are probably nice kids in everyday life. I wouldn't be surprised if my kid knows some of them.
