Enough Already With the Kids!

The Washington Post has gone kid crazy lately, with huge stories on rich kids begging for a prom date (front page?), on the place oral sex has in kids’ lives, and now a series on obese kids.

A single story about rich, fat kids begging for oral sex at the prom would have sufficed.

Though perhaps Laura Sessions Stepp has already written that piece.

    I actually appreciate coverage of adolescents, but stories like this–”Contrary to widespread belief, teenagers do not appear to commonly engage in oral sex as a way to preserve their virginity”–are written for the elderly trying to understand what “young people” are up to these days. Have you heard of these “rainbow parties” the kids are throwing? I don’t understand it, but I hear it’s an epidemic!
