High School "Cuddle Puddles"???

A NY Metro magazine article about high school "cuddle puddles" during the learning day has left me flat stunned.

(this is a long article but it's worth the read).

There are so many issues with the material presented in this article:

1. On a silly lexicon level, what's with all these freakin' terms like "pansexual, bi-queer, metroflexible" and so on (not to mention the flexisexual term from a previous post)?

2. How the HELL does a puddle cuddle of the size, scope, and involvement described in this article happen on a high school campus?
"Alair is headed for the section of the second-floor hallway where her friends gather every day during their free tenth period for the “cuddle puddle,” as she calls it. There are girls petting girls and girls petting guys and guys petting guys. She dives into the undulating heap of backpacks and blue jeans and emerges between her two best friends, Jane and Elle, whose names have been changed at their request. They are all 16, juniors at Stuyvesant. Alair slips into Jane’s lap, and Elle reclines next to them, watching, cat-eyed. All three have hooked up with each other. All three have hooked up with boys—sometimes the same boys. But it’s not that they’re gay or bisexual, not exactly. Not always...Since the school day is winding down, things in the hallway are starting to get rowdy. Jane disappears for a while and comes back carrying a pint-size girl over her shoulder. “Now I take her off and we have gay sex!” she says gleefully, as she parades back and forth in front of the cuddle puddle. “And it’s awesome!” The hijacked girl hangs limply, a smile creeping to her lips. Ilia has stuffed papers up the front of his shirt and prances around on tiptoe, batting his eyes and sticking out his chest. Elle is watching, enthralled, as two boys lock lips across the hall. “Oh, my,” she murmurs. “Homoerotica. There’s nothing more exciting than watching two men make out.”"

3. Where the HELL are the administrators and parents in this whole matter? These cuddle puddles spew over into houses when parents are out and no one seems to be concerned?

4. How does this reporter know where to find the puddle cuddle, see the puddle cuddle, and report on the puddle cuddle yet the administration does nothing? Didn't they allow the reporter on the campus and know why she was there?

The sexual exploration and experimenting is tragic. The fact that this is a growing trend among 15-18 year olds is disheartening. Granted it's a small group of kids at this high school (and not the norm), it's naive to think it's not carrying on in schools across this country.
