Schoolgirls in buses

I am tired of hearing about schoolgirls in buses. It's been going on for years now. So why is it that everyone sounds so shocked when they hear of the latest episode. I think we should be shocked that they have parents who obviously didn't successfully instill good morals in their children. Yes, I know that children may rebel but I think that good foundations are hard to ignore. Just my opinion. I find it far-fetched that well brought up girls will have sex in a men's laps in the back of buses during afternoons without remorse. We need to punish the parents for a change. Tired of the righteous indignation that society pours on the situation. Pressure the parents. Regulate the buses. Engage the girls in activities that build their self-esteem. Just my opinion. Feel free to ignore me.

School girls in buses have been taking place for some years now as you have said. I agree that parents need to instill some morals in their daughters as well as the young men whose laps they are sitting in.
However what you have not taken into consideration in this blog is that since this has been going on for so long, it may very well be a perpetual thing. Meaning that many of these mothers and fathers with these children having sex on the bus now may have been doing the same in their time. It is very hard to preach values to children who may be aware of what their parents were doing "back in the day".
The Jamaican society itself is easily shocked by the behaviours of their young in nearly everything they do in terms of their sexuality. They are "morally" righteous when it comes to sexual proclivity yet they seem to turn almost a blind eye to physical violence and even killings.
I think they need to get their priorities in order.
