Every parent in Guyana with teenage girls in school should ensure that these children are properly supervised when they go to school sports. A great many temptations are out there and parents must know what is going on at these sports before they send their daughters unaccompanied.
This is something that I wrote about last year and I wish in the public interest to repeat that column this year.
The Peeper was passing near to one of our sports grounds when he noticed a race in motion. Some children were engaged in a hundred-meter relay sprint, and it was really exciting as they put their all into the event.
The Peeper recalled his own days at school and the exciting times he had on School Sports Day. The Peeper decided to stop on the roadway that runs alongside the ground so that he could take in the fun.
The very next race was equally exciting and the school children that packed the stands of the ground roared loudly in support of their favourite athletes.
When the race ended however, something amazing happened. A DJ came on and began playing a song that had the entire, and I mean the entire stand, going wild with excitement.
I could not believe what I was seeing at this school’s sports. The entire gathering of school children was going crazy over this song.
But disturbing were the actions of the kids. Some of the children were gyrating in a sexually suggestive manner caused by rotating their waists. But some went further. A great many of them were actually lifting one of their legs up in the air as they pivoted and gyrated on the other. It was an extremely vulgar display.
The Peeper could not believe what he was witnessing. The music box seemed to be causing more excitement amongst the kids than the races themselves. In fact, one of the athletes far away from the stands was so taken by the music that she dropped her track pants and she too started to gyrate.
I can still hear the words of the song, or what I think I heard ringing in my head. It went something like this:
I like you when you move
I like when you groove
I like you when….
I could not also help noticing that a lot of the young ladies being paid keen attention to by grown boys, some of whom I believe are much too old to be attending school.
I had previously observed that at school sports there are a great many young men who turn up at these events with the intention of being friendly with these school girls.
It is something that I warned parents to take note of. I said that they should be careful with sending their girl children unsupervised by an adult to these school sports since there are male predators out there waiting to take advantage of our young girl children.
I want to repeat that warning.
Take an interest in these school sports that your children are attending. It is more than just athletics that is taking place there and as guardians you must take an active interest in what goes on at these events.
I wish to once again call on all schools having these days to ensure that greater control is exercised and that undesirables are kept out. I want to urge these schools also to keep the boom boxes out of these affairs. In my days at school we had sports day without all the loud music and we had a great deal of fun with the different events.
If we allow school events to descend into commonness, then what sort of future will there be for our young people? We therefore have to safeguard these events from things that lead to lewd displays such as what the Peeper witnessed.
So hyped were the kids that a fight actually broke out in the stands and as things would have it there was a mad rush by a great many of the students to see what was going on. And even this could not break the rhythm of those who were intoxicated with the lyrics of the song:
I like it when you move
I like it when you groove.
I like it when you……
