"Sir, I have an uncontrollable sexual urge...."
Source
The hideosity of the students was let bare, after Mr. Paschal, a male teacher in a junior secondary school, intercepted a piece of paper that was passed from a female student.
The folded sheet of paper was supposed to end up in the hands of a male student in the same class, but before the paper could reach its destined destination, Mr. Paschal stretched forth his long strong veinous arm and forcefully seized the piece of paper, thereby aborting their shrewd mission.
It wasn't going to be business as usual for the youngsters, and they knew it, because at this point, it was apparent that they would not be having another field day.
Mr. Paschal wasted no time unfolding the roughly folded paper. No sooner had he unfolded the rumpled paper than he began to peruse its content.
What his eyes met, made him open-mouthed. He couldn't hide his perplexity as his jaw dropped almost to his chest, while his big eye balls grew even bigger, popping out in a manner that would make you afraid, thinking that it would fall off its socket.
The content was obviously too lewd for preteens.
At this point, Mr. Paschal was compelled to puff out a wind of interrogation into the class which blew wide open the student's cupboards of unimaginable skeletons of different sizes and shapes.
Clearly this wasn't an isolated case, it was a common peculiarity. It wasn't a case of a bad egg or few bad ones.
As a matter of fact, if they were actually eggs, it would imply that the whole crate was corrupted with only few exceptions.
"Why are you guys doing this?"
The teacher asked, not with that unmistaken authoritative tone of an instructor, which the students were used to.
This time around, one could hear that he sounded like a concerned fellow.
He spoke as one who was too confuse to make sense of the whole happenstance, though he sincerely wanted to.
"For crying out loud, these are kids. Why all these sexual tensions and sexual fantasies among them? Why are they asking each other for sex?"
Those were the thoughts that were hovering around Mr. Paschal's mind, as he waited, gesturing like a person who was either anticipating an answer or waiting to get a hint that would help cure his bewilderment.
The student, sensing the concernedness of their teacher who was mostly stern, were forced to have a rethink on their obscene actions.
For a brief moment the once animated classroom became a graveyard as the room was drowned in silence.
The deafening silence was broken by the prime culprit; the girl whose letter was apprehended by the teacher.
"Sir, I have an uncontrollable sexual urge, I can't help it". Said the eleven year old student in a steady unwavering voice that surprised everyone.
P.S: This is not a fictional work. It's based on a true life story.
Now there's a task for you.
If you were Paschal, what would you have done?
You can tag friends to come and give their opinions.
Haaaaa! The present animated movies intended for kids have clear sex messages and prolonged romantic scenes. Frozen, rattatolie, superman to name a few.
Now what would I do if I were the teacher. That's difficult to say. When we are in the situation our actions and feelings differ as compared to when we examine it sitting outside.
I think @mmykel , you would enjoy the thoughtful response of ma'am @erh.germany over your post.
Great day
HaHa :) Thank you for inviting me to give my perspective.
You know, I was and am confronted with these very questions and statements by children of this age. Anyone who is afraid or immediately feels moral indignation towards the children's statements will probably walk into a trap.
He forgets that he is dealing with children and not with adults. I remember right now the 10-year-old daughter of a friend of mine who copies the language of adults and therefore knows how to irritate the moment. In my eyes, it is nothing more than a test (unconsciously exercised by the child). The child checks, when she says something where she has already felt a certain discomfort before, whether all adults react equally with this discomfort. Of course, she has no idea what she is talking about at all.
I usually react with amusement.
I ask specific questions about the expressed content and want to know, for example, what exactly was meant by "uncontrolled sexual urge", as in this example. The conversations then pass very briefly because the girl lets me see that she has asked out of curiosity or said something shocking, but has no real access to the subject matter. She then loses interest just as quickly because she notices that I do not show a particularly strong emotional reaction. Since she doesn't know what to do with the topic, she then turns to things that have more to do with her world. And that was it. No big deal.
I am the adult, she is the child. I lead through such encounters with humour and ease because I know that children of that age have no experience with sexual encounters. They just parrot what they pick up.
The children learn the moral code of the world around them through parroting. Where they encounter strong reactions, they realise that they have asked or said something that seems to be taboo. I think it is wiser not to get upset by childish statements and to meet them with humour and kindness.
Quite a perspective. @erh.germany Thanks for taking your time to write this.
I've learned something new.
Thank you and you are welcome. What is it you've learned, if you allow me the question?
How to approach situations of this nature. That is by kindness and humour and even by asking the child to explain what he or she meant.
You're welcome.
Makes me happy for the children who then might meet an adult who acts calm and with a twinkling eye to those matters :)
Exactly my thoughts. Urge prolongs and intensifies, because it's being nurtured and groomed by what we see and hear.
I intended to speak along this line in my next post.
@amberkashif Thanks for coming around. How has it been?
I would add the word NORMAL to this sentence. The sexual acts are described as simply the normal acts among people who have feeling of liking for each other. Or it is presented like there is no objection in explicit romance between anyone, any time. It not only increases the urges but also has deteriorating effects on the institute of marriage.
I would love to read. Please tag me when you write the post, or dm me the post link.
Have a nice day
