why do you write that it was students of NORMAN MANLEY HIGH? NORMAN MANLEY boys do not wear khaki shirts and they do not have primary school students on their compound. the people from the school have already come out and said it wasnt their school yet you are continuing to spread the rumor.your columns cannot be taken seriously if you write with assumption instead of facts. any one who saw that video and heard the voices would assume that these where some country children

Boy, I remeber the days when school girls would not want to be caught on the road after dark in their uniform, they took such pride in they apprance.... To this now is just really badd, but what to do? All dem want is money

This is a real issue that is facing our country and we cannot sit in the back set and pretend that nothing is going on. I graduted from high school three years ago so this article is just a remainder of the senseless acts our future leaders are engage in. Seriously, this is no joke!!!!!!!!!

another good topic that i agree with 100 %, i really dont know, these sch girls a different fr when i was going to sch. if u were known to b having sex at the time it was like a disgrace we use to hide the fact that we were having sex, i suggest fast and pray, bcuz i really dont know wat the solution for this one, it's beats me

this is not a new crisis, it's been happening from at least the late 80's still.

hey what can do, only god can change what is happening now, but things like this was meant to happen. These kids are "rebels without a cause" and in time the earth will know how to dispose of those who serve no purpose. Its only a matter of time now before we destroy ourselves. And yes parents are being real lazy these days. When i think back now how i was grown up with a strict family i don't regret it one bit. All i can say to these teenagers is i wish them the BEST.
Everything that has a beginning must have an end.

are we surprised.
just check the music videosthere is nothing left to the imagination..all this gyrating and nakeness.
How come there is no comment on the nakedness of carnival...bet if it was a dance hall road march how the hypocrites would be commenting.
I recommend that the artistes need to help the nation..start to wear clothes and start to make positive lyrics..back it up and rub it up not helping us at all.
This goes for farin and Jamaican videos

Ask the present government heads- what's the problem with our young ladies? We need more economic development for the people, the school girl them want money. Them see it's only the women who dress provocative and let go easy get money. Bring these issues to government. The ppl need a better education system and better paying jobs. All of our top educators are leaving the island fora better opportunity and more money.

Rootsy, good to see you're back. Buffy she have too much crosses story more time although dem sweet me still

so what de hell is dis wid the young girls dem?

still - i want to play devil's advocate and switch it around to say that - THOSE BIG WORTHLESS MEN NEED TO JUST SAY NO!!!

waht the hell is there problem

pon top of it...i wouldn't go as far as to throw so much blame on the girls...u cannot walk 2 feet in jamaica without a man calling after you...so who is tempting who mr taxi and bus driver...

JUST SAY NO

and nuff a dem bruk the likkle girls dem bad too...they flaunt the money and bling in their faces as they lust over their young bodies...

This is a social problem for many countries that are not in the G8...young women accepting or going after sugar daddies

the biggest problem with that is that many of them end up emotionally and physically scarred for life

dj's is time to sing bout de big man dem wey a chase baby girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really wonder how we expect children to behave any differently when they are growing up in the most sexualized and violent society to date. These children are only reflecting what is going on around them. How many of you parents sat you down and seriously talk to you about sex and it implications on you spiritually and physically. These young girls don't even know why they are having sex in the first place. Many are growing up in fatherless households and are using sex as a way of finding love and that male connection that all children need, through relations with men, trying to find love through their bodies, but too young and lacking in life experience to know this path will only lead them to pain.

Many of us can talk and say this and that because we grew up with one TV station- JBC and two radio stations and everything that was broadcasted was rated G for family. Now most households with cable have a porn channel in their package and satellite users have the same. Children are being babysat and nurtured on this type of TV viewing; sexualized at much younger ages and are more experimental with the level of sexual acts they perform as u can see with their level of comfort with oral and anal sex from their early teens. Promiscuity is seen as a must and the more men they have they feel they are gaining some sort of power, when in fact they are losing the very power they think they have gained.

Jamaican society has changed tremendously and the only fix is to go back to basics, two parent household and perhaps stay at home mothers will need to become a reality again. I know with the economic times it's hard to live on one income, but for the sake of our children and society we need to give it serious consideration. Values, morals and spiritual health need to be taught by the Parents.

I am disturbed to c teenagers like myself destroying their bodies.if they don't respect theirselves no one will respect them.they are not going to get a good husband in the future"men will kick them around like football.I am 16 years of age and i respect myself and my body.stand for something or you will fall for nothing.

I am a Norman Manley alumii and I sincerely hope it's not Norman Manley High school off Maxfield Ave. Norman Manley is a school of integrity, and ethical principles. Mr. Sharp (principal) and Mrs. Stapes (Then Mr. Sharp's Voice Principal) were sophists with a doctrine of zero tolerance for enthical behavior. Therefore, I believe that school mentioned in your article is either erroneous error or misquote of your investigative journalist.

Disgraceful men and disgraceful girls and most of the problem is again bad parenting.

Then they are the few who no matter how they are parented they just go astray.

What about the illegality of this thing. Dogs (you are not men) if she is under the age of consent it is illegal.

These dogs embarass me as a man and they embarass all real men in the world.

So where's this video I hear you talking about?

Edit: I've just seen it, wow...don't know what to say. Where were the teachers?

I want touch a point. How come all over the world every body trying to ban reggae cause dem say it negative and yet we nah ban cable? These actions are clearly influenced by what is shown on AMERICAN media such as movies, music video and even especially anime cartoons. We keep talking about reggae damaging our country but something like this happening and all of a sudden no one knows where it came from? There is so much sex in the AMERICAN media and that same media is funneled into Jamaica.

WAITING TO SEE MY COMMENT POSTED

i blamed parents for what is happen to our children. go back to the ways your mother bring u up.we need help.i was in school the late 80s i never c this.as a parent i am at a last.i am not blaming the dj i tell u who i blame. let come together has parents and find solution.we cannot give up.we cannot watch our children kill themself.we need help.

Bottom line. Children raising children some of these parents has no idea on what it takes to raise children.
These are some of the qualities it takes to raise children:
. Love
. Dedication
. Discipline
. Consistent
. Accountability
. Responsibility
. Respect
. Keep a level head
. Raise your child first and party later
. Read with your child
. Choose Program on TV that you approve of
. Buy proper clothing for your teen daughters, tone it down.
. Self discipline
. Visit their schools at least once a month to talk to their teachers (get involve)
. Talking to your child or children about various issues.
And list goes on and on.

As parents we have a responsiblilty to teach them and show them how to conduct themself (if dem see mummy a go pan har head a pasa pasa dem nah go respect yu!) so be carefull what we do around them.
And fathers please get involve, the mothers can't do it by themself.

this is not political.because the government can not go into the homes of these girls and grow them.these parents need to know that u have to"ben the tree from it likkle cause when it get big u have to chop it dun"and stop expose them to certain things at certain age.

Sex has been around for a long time & it aint going anywhere. In old days before people were able to much beyond 30, most females became parents before the age of 20. So I don't feel that the world is coming to an end because yougsters are having sex. Personally I laughed when I read the story. I live in NYC it happens here too, so you guys need to just get over it. SEX WILL BE HERE AS LONG AS THERE ARE PEOPLE, YOUNG OR OLD

My ony comment regarding this matter takes into consideraton that most men know that a child is just a child no matter if they look older. These men need to be held accountable for their actions and it makes no difference if the girl is aggressive or persistent, moral examples should be set. In other words, IF A LIKKLE GAL A LET OFF OR LOOK OONUH, OONUH FI RUN DEM!!!!!!!!!

i think these men should understand themselves because some of these men have children of the same age,if they get sexually involve with these girls that mean they would do it to there own children,these taxidrivers,busdrivers,conductors should be like a parent or a protector be a man respect themsleves and stop abusing and taking advantages of the young girls .
