Question Posted Wednesday September 14 2005, 10:31 pm
It all started at a friends party. We didn't really have anything to do so we decided to dance. We went on top of a pool table and started dancing, a friend was video taping us on her camera just for fun. The next day the person who video taped us put it in her profile, which another friend that was they're put it in her xanga. wow, so now it's to where ANYONE can see it. Well a parent was looking though it and saw this video, oh and let me tell you we were GRINDING, big deal? its out of school. Well this stupid parent went and wrote a letter to the school AND to the super intendent, and PUTS this persons xanga so THEY can see this video too. oh my god so now the school knows about it and all the teachers are looking though the whole schools xangas and takes people out of class to talk to them about it. This frustrates me because this is OUT of school stuff. So then today the NEWS CAME TO OUR SCHOOL TO INTERVIEW PEOPLE ABOUT THIS XANGA THING. i dont know what to do. I'm like screwed major, i just NEED advice. ALL our parents know about this video and watched it and pretty much all of us are grounded. and it sucks but I can understand why they're mad. But im just confused. please someone who has been in a situation like this please tell me what happened and if it ever blew over. I just need advice. so please...thanks for your advice before hand.

Maybe I'm missing something (or perhaps we English are sluttier) but i fail to see the big deal. the NEWS came to your school? Tell them they should be grateful- if this is the worst thing going on where you live, they should be busy counting their lucky stars, not up in arms about a stupid party dance.
If that really is all there was to it you need to hit them round the head with any national newspaper detailing stories of drink, drugs, sex and teen pregnancy and show them what a real problem looks like.
In my experience, highschools like making huge great skyscrapers out of a single brick. This will blow over and they'll move on to trying to make out some kid who brings a headache tablet to school has a serious coke problem.

Now if your parents choose to ground you, or say you can't have xanga, that's their right as your parent and legal guardian. But your SCHOOL cannot do anything to you guys. [Unless there's something on your xanga's about like cheating at school, or drinking, or something like that.] Good luck!
