HLA cannot keep kids from having romantic feelings for each other.  It's impossible.  They can, for the most part, keep them from acting on those feelings in a physical manner.  Now, if you are commenting on the quality of supervision at HLA, then I will agree with you that HLA often screwed up supervision of kids.

I agree about the romantic feelings - that's part of being a teenager. No one wants to see a kid leave there pregnant or with an STD. That's where the lack of supervision really is important and was/is severely lacking.

Kids got mixed signals from the staff as well. Some kids were allowed to have romantic feelings while others were punished for having romantic feelings.

there was sex...lots of sex. but i dont see what the fuss is about, consensual sex between two people is OK, given that the age is appropriate. 14 and 18 is not ok, but say 16 with 17 or 15 with 16 is ok. you cant stop romantic feelings. and it's just our society that imposes superficial laws on sex. up untill the 20th century, and still to this day in most places other than the USA people start having sex in their early teens, and get married in their mid to late teens. it's completely natural, given that it's appropriate and not forced or coerced.

the issue really lies with sex education. kids need to be taught from an early age the importance of safe sex. they need to understand that if they fuck without a condom, they could get aids, and if they are not carefull, might have to deal with supporting a kid a little too early in life.

Again...Was it common knowledge among the students that a lot of students were having sex on a regular basis?

There is no way that you can put boys and girls together at that age and them NOT be attracted to each other and find a way to get together. Should the staff have tried better to keep them apart? yes. But its going to happen. Kids are clever. Kids will pay off other kids to be lookouts. Kids will sneak around. Thats nothing new. Any relationship between staff and student should have resulted in immediate dismissal and if appropriate, criminal investigation. But, to make a big deal between the 17 yr old and the 15 yr old is silly. Thats a normal age difference. I was almost 17 when I started dating my first husband. He had just turned 23 that week when we met. We were together 10 years. There was nothing wrong with our relationship. I have a friend right now, whos daughter is 18. Is getting married in August to a man who is 24. Again, nothign wrong with this scenario. If the kid was 17 and the girl was 12 or 13...now thats slightly different. But 17 and 15 is no reason to try to press charges against the boy unless it was rape. Thats overreacting to normal teenage stuff.
