Are you a guy or a girl? If you are a girl, would you feel molested or offended or dirty or anything when you dance like that?
No I don’t think it’s weird; that’s an understatement. I think it’s sick, discusting, and immoral. You can’t tell none of those boys are getting aroused with all that going on. That is not how people should be dancing. A good Catholic wouldn’t partake in such dancing. I will say that popular dancing does change with times. What dancing that was considered wild back in the 30’s surely can’t compare to the wild kind of today.
Neither me nor my date even went out there until there a slow song. Needless to say, we were both pretty disturbed by “grinding,” not because we were “square” but because it was… not dancing. 
I’m a guy. Believe me when I say that I would much rather dance than grind (because I’m actually a relatively good dancer.)
My high school prom was back in 1979. When my girlfriend and I were caught kissing a little too long, I got sharply whacked in the back of the head by one of the chaperones.
Then you don’t even get an apology from whoever is attacking you. The whole spectacle is very unattractive.I’m not sure what you are hoping to gain by this question. Most people who post at CAF are adults, not teens.
This is going on in the Catholic schools, too- I’ve been to the dances and seen it first hand.
Boy, do I remember those days! I went to Catholic school and if we were dancing too close to each other, one of the good sisters would come and separate us. The rule was ‘arms length’ apart.My high school prom was back in 1979.

Parents have the most direct influence over their children through conversation, modeling behavior, instilling values and beliefs as they grow up-- way BEFORE these things become “issues.” There are many kids who would not/do not dance this way (whether their parents are watching or not) because it violates what they believe to be the right way to behave.
Why can’t you believe it? :ehh: Catholics are human too… and teenagers will be teenagers regardless of religion.My sister’s son graduated from CATHOLIC school last weekend. There was a school-sponosred party afterwards. She said the kids were doing this grinding style of “dancing.” She and all the other adults were horrified looking on as this went on. I simply couldn’t believe this would go on in such an environment. I can promise you that if I ever found out my kids participated in such a thing, they’d be in BIG trouble, and they know it! I understand some parents don’t know what their kids are up to, but if you are standing there watching, there’s no excuse for not saying something. Then again, maybe some parents see nothing wrong with it.
they should have known they were not supposed to do that because they were in a catholic school. and i’m also surprised that the teachers were doing nothing. why don’t they just act like you, who rejects that kind of style?Why can’t you believe it? :ehh: Catholics are human too… and teenagers will be teenagers regardless of religion.
