2010 generation

FIRST, there was a spate of pictures of teens getting intimate in secluded staircase landings.

Now, it appears as if teenagers are becoming more and more brazen - in school uniform - going by pictures and comments on citizen journalism website Stomp.

Teenagers have been pictured making out on crowded buses and on trains, in full view of other commuters, oblivious to those around them. They kiss and sometimes fondle each other openly.

Stomp receives an average of four such pictures a month, said editor Chew V Ming.

Most of those responding say the teenagers are being disrespectful and behaving downright inappropriately.

One such disgusted Stomp contributor, known only as Wee, took pictures of two secondary school students in school uniform making out on a crowded bus on April 23 and sent it to Stomp.

He was so annoyed that he scolded the two teenagers on the bus.

He told Stomp: "Why are students wearing school uniform and making out in public for everyone to see all the time?

"They should have some sense of shame and show more consideration to the members of the public.

Some of the people who were sitting behind them had to resort to moving to the front seats so that they wouldn't have to tolerate such a scene for the whole journey."

Two days before that, another Stomp contributor sent pictures of another teenage couple sitting on the floor of an MRT platform and kissing openly.

Said the Stomp contributor: "By doing this in public, you are not only bringing down the name of your school but also being a disgrace in public.

There's always a "growing up stage".
And definitely not everyone will you on your side.
So you have your first love, first kiss, and the list goes on.

Most of us have past our "i don't care how people look at me" stage, mainly because we've grown out of it.

Honestly, I feel that the society should not scold or lecture the kids because first of all,
how are you related to them? No one.
Would they even bother? Answer is no.

That is because you are NO ONE to them. Unless you claim you're their long lost relative.

So what should you do? Definitely the uploading pictures to stomp issue should stop because you should respect the kids' privacy.

Just call the police! They'll handle everything.

How? By taking the kids' details down. I.e Name, I/c number, address, school.

First timers runs away with warnings.

I have no clue about second timers but I assume letters would be sent?

Image you get a letter from the police stating,

"Dear parents of (child name), your child, ________ (i/c number here) has been found kissing in public."

How awkward if your dad reads it.

In short, it takes 2 hands to clap.

Kids could keep their tongue in their own mouth.
And the audience should buy a iPad each and watch youtube - Annoying Orange throughout their journey.

But if you happen to see it, FILE A REPORT!

That is why the train station has been saying, "If you see anything suspicious, inform our staff or call 999."

Interesting controversy.
