Topic 4

Dating? Not till I'm 18! - teenagers are starting to date/enter into BGRs too early and too easily. Discuss.

Neutral. As said earlier, it all depends on the maturity. As a sidenote, I hate the way the phrase BGR is used. As if the adults are mocking us of our immaturity by belittling us secondary level and below and therefore coining the phrase boy-girl relationships. But it is true, everyone around you has a partner and the next moment people somehow seemed to have switched partners. Like a merry-go-round. But what's the problem with that? No one does serious dating till twenty and above? So why do guardians and teachers care about these so much? Innocent pure fun. Are they robbing us of that too?





Is currently pissed. Mom just gave a lecture on that topic. Arrrrruhhhhhhhhh. DEAR MOMMY, I DONT HAVE A BOYFRIEND DSMMIT.

Topic 3

If I were a teacher, I would like my students to (be)...

Rowdy with an impish sense of humour. Who doesn't like jokes? What's there to teaching if the teachers don't get nonsensical students wrecking havoc and turning the classroom upside-down? I'd rather the students making fun of everything worth making fun about, and everyone laughing at the way a student writes. Sounds cruel but why not? And if I could not take the whimsical way lessons were conducted I would throw the chalk on the floor, crush it into powder, look up at my students' bemused expressions and walk right out.

Behind me, laughter would be issuing from the room as a student painted his friend's face in chalk powder.

Topic 2

Discuss "A platonic friendship is possible even between a guy and girl (Close bonding between a boy and a girl does not necessarily mean they like each other)".

Definitely possible. Unfortunately, most Asian cultures raised their children to grow up with the cooties and go 'Ewwww you're gonna get girl germs if you hug her.' I think most Asians are so narrow-minded. It could be the older generation being raised in a more reclusive (is there such word?) way. Asians should start taking a book out of the Americans. At the other end of the world, it's common to have a best friend of the opposite sex while over here they go "WAAAH YOUR GIRLFRIEND AH." or "EH EH EH HO SAY!" (no pun intended).

This does not mean Asians should start being as open-minded as the Americans. It's still our own culture. An American can't go pointing his bare feet at a person and say he was making blood circulate due to squatting too much in a Thailand temple.

But in order to establish a platonic friendship, each side has to reach his and her level of maturity first, no matter what the culture.


Woah, what's with all these BGR topics?! e____e

Topic 1

How can we ensure that we can be responsible and upkeep moral values when in a relationship with the opposite sex. Do you agree?

For the older generation, yes. But now in the younger generation, a small percentage. Today’s generation of youngsters are so much more exposed than compared to the older generation. Twenty years ago a mother would have probably screamed at her midriff-baring daughter going out and went to the altars to seek her ancestors’ forgiveness for not having raised her child properly. Right now, a mother would probably look up teary-eyed from a touching Korean soap opera and go, ‘Come home by midnight.’ And blow her nose on the nearest cloth available.

Thus the need for extra cushion covers, together the awareness of teenagers being more open.
So what defines responsibility and moral values? Judging from the topics set by the teachers, and all the lectures starting from Primary five, dangerous sex (if there was a safe sex there should be a dangerous sex, right?) and petting. I guess. Seriously moving on to the topic, it is possible to enter into a relationship and upkeep all your principles. Responsibility in the form of being on time for a meeting with him.

Motteke! Sailor fuku :D
