sex & the teenage girl

Biology is destiny, and the brutally unfair outcome that adolescent sexuality can produce will never change. Twenty years ago, I taught high school in a town near New Orleans. There was a girls’ bathroom next to my classroom, which was more convenient for me than the faculty one on the other side of campus. In the last stall, carved deeply into the metal box reserved for used sanitary napkins, was the single word “Please.”

What that has to do with masturbation? His family is Catholic. If the Catholics weren't fucking morons and were all "Go spank your monkey, and keep your hands off the girls!" instead of telling kids they'll go to Hell for masturbating (and not mention anything about going to Hell for molesting other children or raping other children), he might have had a more convenient outlet to let out his frustrations on, instead of me.

Logistically, I realize that I'm being insanely naive with that belief, that he was a 14 year old boy, and 14 year old boys will molest any and every girl they can get their hands on just cause they're horny; but hey. That belief helps get me through the night sometimes. And keeps me from getting creeped out if I ever see him again.

We did go to different high schools, but when I changed high schools, I ran into him once. He wanted my AIM, and I was all "no." Not because he groped at me, but because he failed at spelling in standardized non-basterdized (IE: not cat macros) English. I didn't even remember (or think on, really) this incident until within the past year when I was going through my diaries from when I was 13 and 14.
