bdsm education

Today's my paper ran a report on a video clip of an ACJC student being tied up and stuffed with food for her birthday "celebration" [2008, November 14, A4] I haven't seen the video clip itself, but base on what was being reported, it sure sounds like BDSM. Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism.

Maybe because I'm a nerd or because I came from the so-called nerd school, I have never seen such things happening. So I was pretty shocked when friends from other schools told me that they did things on unpopular classmates such as throwing their school bag out of the window, pouring everything out from their pencil case and make them pick them up, etc. Do you guys really do this kind of things?

Maybe they really wanted the birthday girl to have an unforgettable birthday, but they surely had gone overboard. An overdose of porn maybe? Now, how do we put the society's future on them?

And somoeone said it's "part and parcel of growing up". Huh? What's next? Syringe and pills? Campus shooting? Even the worst kind of treatment I went through in the army, they treated us with the basic respect for humanity.

The paper reported the principal saying "that the student was prepared for the celebration, and that there was no malice or bullying involved." Did the principal just tell everyone that her students practice BDSM willingly and openly? Isn't that like, worse?

  • Maybe we have to take the report with a pinch of salt. We don't know the extent of how they play around. Maybe we are simply too old for this.

  • yeah, you have a point there. Now I feel like they are immature, but maybe I'm just overcooked.

    That's why what I expressed, i said base on the report. We won't know what happened on the ground.

  • well, i think time is different. and sometimes i wonder what is going on.

    it's so tough for me to sit in the hall watching my school's P6 girls doing "morden dance" on the stage for a school event. to me, the way how they danced made them look no longer like P6.

    *shake head*

  • well, i guess time is different. and i wonder what is going on.

    like my school's p6 girls, when they did a morden dance for a school event on the stage, it's so tough for me to sit in the hall and enjoy. the way how they danced made them look no longer like p6.

    *wondering*

  • sigh, I dunno. I look at my alma mater's students walking around with uniform sticking out, I really tell myself I won't send my future kids to that school.

  • Aiyoh, times are different.
    During our time, even if you dye your hair, you get in trouble.

    I'll still send my kids to Maris Stella, so as long as they maintain a decent ranking and I know some of the teachers there.

    After 11 years at that school, it's hard to say I don't have any special feelings for it.

  • well, one also has to weigh the circumstances. For example, if my alma mater's archrival turns out to be better in the future, I may send my kids there~

  • Hmm... I actually managed to find out about this "incident" from online sources before the newspapers reported about it.

    Well, the Youtube videos of the "incident" have been removed but strangely enough, the videos can still be found through STOMP (I rather not provide a direct link to where the videos can be found).

    I seldom swear but I cannot help going "WHAT THE F***?!" when I read about the "incident" and saw the videos (from STOMP).

    Something is definitely wrong here and for the school authorities to just say that the "birthday girl" agreed to be ragged and that the students were having fun somehow gives me the sense that they are just trying to sweep things under the carpet.

    I mean, even my batch that "kissing photo" got a more forceful reaction from our JC's administration lor...

  • "ACJC responds to 'birthday hazing' incident"

    By Blogger LCC, at 11/15/2008 03:23:00 PM  

  • Maybe we are talking about a junior college which is known for its openness? I mean, you can almost tell an ACJC alumni when you see one.

    Anyway, how did our JC's admin respond to that kissing photo?

    By Blogger chillycraps, at 11/15/2008 06:27:00 PM  

  • Well, call me conservative but I think that there should be a limit to "openness"...

    Anyway, can't really remember what our JC administration did. Only can vaguely remember that the principal went on stage one day to announce about the photo, that the school had ask the website to remove the photo, that they spoke to the girls involved, that they took action against the person in the photographical society who leaked out the photo to a friend of his not from the school (and supposedly, it was this friend who leaked the photo to the internet)...

    By Blogger LCC, at 11/15/2008 07:28:00 PM  

  • come to think of it, maybe it doesn't even qualify as "openness", more like sadism.

    NB: I'm not saying people from that JC are sadist.

  • i almost flip off my chair when i saw the article in Stomp. Times have really changed so much. During my time, there is still public caning. Teachers have the authorities to scold and punish students by asking them to stand on chairs etc... surprisingly, all these produced better and more well behaved students.

    i just wish schools could be more stricter now. such behaviour is really a disgrace even though it's just a birthday prank. *shook head*

    but anyway, i still take news reported in the papers with a pinch of salt. They might have twisted the stories.

  • hiya mssheepy! While I will take the report with a pinch of salt for this particular incident, I do feel that students nowadays have become very unbecoming :P

    Ok this may sound sadistic, but I kinda miss the days when teacher use plastic ruler and slap student's hands, or stand on chair, or public caning.

    By Blogger chillycraps, at 11/16/2008 09:03:00 AM  

  • hi chillycraps, hahaa, i shared the same sentiments as you. :P

    I missed those days too. It just makes lessons more "fun" to see your notorious friends getting their 'desserts' in front of you. Schools (at least for my alma matar) is also more like a military place where students have to greet the teachers wherever they go.

  • so was mine. We even had to bow to the teachers when we bump into them in the corridor or something. But it's interesting, the Sec 1 kids will bow 90 degrees, then slowly it became just a nod when it came to Sec 4.
