Teacher arrested after sex with students for higher grades

[^_^ 5,021]

Do you know how many children are molested througout their childhood and turn out to be normal? Around 85% of them if you want to throw a number at it.

What if you don't want to merely "throw a number at it"?

Actually my background says otherwise if you would pay attention. (*cough* I happen to study human behavior *cough*)

study in what capacity exactly? cause the novel you just wrote pretty much discredits your view that a fourteen or fifteen year old is likely emotionally mature enough to make a logically sound decision in such circumstance.

functions of logic are affected by emotions. especially in children. have much REAL experience with them, btw?

i find it hard to believe that human behavior is your forte..

he studies it.

what do you study? i bet nothing. i bet you can't even read. you probably have a government worker in your home to read to you because you're too lazy to learn how to do it yourself.

If you are going to use your 'background' to buttress your arguments, you should probably elaborate on it a bit. What work do you do, either professionally or on a volunteer basis, that uses your understanding of human behavior? What are your accomplishments in this field? Have you been published? If so, what was the title of your publication? And so on.

Note that saying you like to hang out at the airport and people-watch doesn't count.

I wish I could just sit at an airport and people watch. Though without telepathy it would be a bit hard to get into someone's head.

Primary field studies are social anthropology and sociology. Minor field study in psychology.

Most psychologists lack the background in anthropology to have a clue to what they are doing to people. Most psychologists are 'listeners' but have no real answers to people's problems.

My dissertation (which formally is a book in progress) is about how social & economic status has been falsely accussed of being one of the primary reasons for the success and failure of an individual in society. Proving this is easy, however getting others to accept it after all of these years of other so-called 'evidence,' is something else.

Also working on a secondary study on how humans interact with one another based on the 'need' at the time. 'Need' being defined as the emotional security one feels, even on the smallest level for said interaction.

You might find it insulting, but in life the best thing you can do is 'get over it.'

One can control one's emotions if they truly want to in MOST cases. Do you know how many children are molested througout their childhood and turn out to be normal? Around 85% of them if you want to throw a number at it. Now define abnormal? A small percentage end up being child molestors themselves. Another percentage have a hard time maintaining a stable relationship. Another sector of that is afraid to ever touch another human being. The rest have various mental issues/some violent, some not. It's hardly anywhere near the majority though that some would like to lead society into believing. The interesting part being, is of those who do end up with mental/emotional problems later in life, most of them would have had some sort of emotional/mental issue anyway, but they now have an 'excuse' for it.

Many have skeletons in their closet that no one will ever know about because they have the emotional maturity to handle things and then move on. Life goes on, if you have the will power to let it.

That's a crock of sh!t if I've ever heard it. Get over it? Is that what you would tell a soldier suffering from ptsd? Episodes like rape, molestation, and any other traumatic event require therapy. Actually, it is typically those who try to conceal rather than deal with their issues that are totally FUBAR. Just sayin'.

Undergrad or grad or doctoral? Just curious.

See that's where you're wrong though. The decisions we make and the experiences we've had are what ultimately effects our emotions, not vise versa as you would say.

The only way one of these girls subjected herself to this teacher is if eitehr A) they lacked the logical reasoning skills to know right from wrong, or B) he had approached her on multiple occasions for said acts and she lacked the logical reasoning to tell somene about it first and let her emotions take the better of her after pressure. The other "C" option is she did it because she wanted to.

You would be surprised at how smart/mature many young teens actually are. They aren't as emotionally handicapped as you might make them out to be. Many mature a lot quicker than others by years.

Actually yes. Do you know what PTSD really is? It's a lack of emotional maturity. As I said earlier, some people never actually become emotionally mature. You can run basic psychological tests before someone enters the battlefield and you'll never ever see it coming until after the fact.

Memories and visions haunt most that witness terrible things in their life. However they move on and live life to its fullest because they have the capability to do so. Some don't have that capability, and some don't truly try to get past it either. A traumatic experience isn't the be all, end all of a human being. In most cases it's a chance to start again and have a different approach to life and the people they see around them, and I do not mean that in a negative way.

I would say that the majority of teens are emotionally mature - for their age. The majority of teens are completely capable of logic - for their age.

Ever studied the human behavior of a child molester? Generally they prey upon those who can't fend for themselves...

No f*cking way dude. Just..you need to actually be taught - not self study...

Actually, I have. It's not about preying on those who cannot defend themselves. There are cases that meet that criteria, sure. However for most individuals, it's no different than your average person's sexual attraction to an adult human being.

I don't think you want me to explain to you the horror stories I've heard/listened to on this topic and the people I've met.

It's not all about self-study. Not in the least.
