Restrictions on Homecoming

Homecoming is a time for students to come together and have a good time while celebrating that we are all back together again for another school year. In recent years the homecoming dances have somewhat taken a turn for the worse. My freshmen year was one of the best dances that I have experienced. There were no lights on, the DJ was playing current songs that were easy to move to, and everyone was having a good time. My sophomore year turned out a little different in the fact that half way through the dance some of the lights had to be turned on. After the dance there were condemns all over the floor insinuating that that couple was not the only ones getting it in. This was due to the fact that people were having sex on the dance floor and getting way out of hand. Last year was another good year, the lights were off, only because the DJ had a light show, which was awesome and the music was better than ever before.  One nasty incident that came up during the dance last year was that someone’s nasty bloody tampon was left on the floor and people slowly started circling it and spreading out so that there was a huge circle around it and everyone could see. The owner of this bloody mess is still a mystery.

                For preventative purposes there was a sheet handed out to each student giving them rules which should be more common sense than anything. One was even don’t show up naked and make sure you have your clothes on at all times. I’m pretty sure you can get arrested for public nudity. Another rule was that girls have to not pull up their dresses while dancing with a guy. This may allow a couple to have sex or let a girl get fingered. Both can be done in the privacy of a different room, rather than at a school dance where everyone is wondering why is that girl making funny faces and why is the guy enjoying dancing with that girl so much. This is a dance not a human orgy.

                Another rule is that you are not to partake in the dance move called the “Jersey Turnpike”. This movement is face down ass up shaking your booty how the guys like it. The guy usually gets a nice view of the booty, which turns him on more than needed. In this move usually the girl will keep her hands on the floor for balance so they don’t tip over. This particular movement on hands on the ground is prohibited. When a girl does this style of dancing it usually makes the other dancers around them upset because the guys get mad that their girl isn’t dancing like that for them and the girls get mad because they either don’t want to do that move, aren’t good at dancing like that, or think it is a slutty thing to do. The guys are typically the ones to promote it, and will even push down on the girls back to hint that they want them to do it and even keep their hand there to steady them.

                Have you ever wondered what the chaperones are thinking during these dances? They usually consist of our own parents and teachers that we see on a day to day basis. How weird would it is to have one of your favorite teachers come up to you and tell you that you are being out of line and dancing inappropriately? They don’t want to do this to students and we don’t want this to happen to us either, that is why these rules are set in place and we need to abide by them. (628)
