To be filed under "Kids These Days": Instead of "Most Likely to Succeed" or even "Most Popular," Stuyvesant High School seniors created a display of classmates under headings such as "Biddies," "Hotties" and "I'd Tap That." The Post reports that the seniors were "encouraged to create displays listing classmates they considered the sexiest" by the administration, which has let students post an annual "crush list" for over ten years. But did they finally go too far?
One senior said, "The administration doesn't seem to care at all. I think everyone finds it amusing—and it's completely harmless," but admitted he didn't participate because he doesn't "kiss and tell." A few others didn't feel like admitting wanting to tap anyone, with one girl saying, "It's a little bit awkward to say, 'I'd tap that,' about a boy you like." She chose to label her crushes as "hotties."
Though the administration let the students' sexual desires stay on display, one teacher says they should have done a once-over on the titles before they went up. The 'I'd tap that' category, I would definitely get rid of that. To me, that's what social-networking sites like MySpace and Twitter are for. High school is not the place for that." But it's for serious cuddling, right? For anyone who missed out, the Post explains that "I'd tap that" is "slang for wanting to have sex with someone." That's right, our city's teenagers want to have sex. Good heavens, they're probably drinking too!
