The article was a rediculous sham. The reporter talked about social activism and awareness. She took hours of notes on our ideas both politically and socially. And what did she do???? She published trash and splashed my name, and the names of my friends all over it. There are, unfortunitly no lesbo sluts running wild, and the name "cuddle puddle" was something the reporter pulled out of thin air. It is in fact a group of kids hanging out in a hallway, doing all the normal things that kids who hang out do...there is no excessive hooking up, no crazy sex, and a very small amount of "offensive lesbian activity", if any. Let this be a warning to everyone, DON'T TALK TO REPORTERS, NO MATTER HOW NICE THEY ACT...THEY WILL SCREW YOU OVER TO SELL.

The article is misquoted and misinformed. 90% of those quotes were taken out of context, the author did a horrible job of "hiding identities" and the whole article gave off "stuyvesant is being turned into a multisexual brothel by teenage sexual deviants!!!" which wasn't the intention of those who were interviewed, at all. Anyone who read more than 3 pages of the article should be able to see that the whole thing seems ridiculous.... which it IS. On a side note, Teitel hasn't made attempt to break up the group, mostly because they ARENT DOING ANYTHING WRONG. As should be obvious, the article is a huge exaggeration, it's barely more than a bunch of kinda hanging out, comfortable with each other.

and, i hate to nitpick (or do i?), but.. "during the five years we spent at Stuyvesant High School, we never once witnessed any lesbian encounters." ... this was definitely said by a baseball player... :) (yes, i was there at the same time ;) --- I was there too and there was lots of lesbian and gay action all over the place. I completely agree that those who wanted to see it had ample opportunities.

i think it's something like what samuel delany said in .. i think the madman... "there are baseball players, and there are cocksuckers.. and if you're a baseball player, you won't be noticing the cocksuckers". this was basically stating that there are people doing all SORTS of things ALL over the place, but if you're not looking for it, you won't notice it. and i'm sure this was true at stuy 10 years ago, and probably it's true now. i bet if you asked a random current student "do you know about the cuddle puddle?", there's a good chance you'd get a no. i think the message for openness and "post-gayness" that the article is trying to communicate isn't a bad one, but i'm not sure it's really reporting on anything too exceptional here. and, i hate to nitpick (or do i?), but.. "during the five years we spent at Stuyvesant High School, we never once witnessed any lesbian encounters." ... this was definitely said by a baseball player... :) (yes, i was there at the same time ;)

NYMag is so pathetic. This is just yet another one of their "lets interview my friend's bored teenage daughter and print whatever she says as FACT!" NYMag: so, anything naughty at your school Bored Teen: sure, hot cuddling action happening everywhere NYMag: really?? (scribble) do tell! Bored Teen: (trying not to laught) oh sure, we all do it NyMag: (salivating) yes, yes??? ...and so on.

Don't get fooled guys. You guys always fantasize of Jessica Alba type lesbos but it's more like rosie o'donell bull dykes that make out. The dream is dead!

We were totally doing this in high school too, rock on. But the punk/art geek thing was more likely to ostracize us back then to begin with... Now these kids are having their fun & more close to the popular group than the nerds? Meow! Enjoy!

"according to Ritch Savin-Williams, a professor of human development at Cornell who has been conducting research on same-sex-attracted adolescents for over twenty years." Uh, anyone know if there are any positions opening up in this field?

we were doing that at Hunter High in the student lounge In the early 90s we nearly had to put up a sign-up sheet on the top stairwell of the northwest stairs. "Hunter students don't screw in lightbulbs, they screw in stairwells."

I wonder if I am in Stuyvesant High Schools district, maybe i can go back to highschool, bet I could better grades this time. No wait, the article says 16 year olds, that's gross. I can't believe you'd ask for photos of that Jake.

And to think that back in my mid-1990s days at Stuy, all you used the 10th floor for was cutting class to read Spin magazine. Though the floor did have really cool drafting rooms. Hmm... It's good to see that Teitel finally made principal though.

This grosses me out! My daughter went to Stuy several years ago and never told me about anything like this. But here's my take: I think it is sad that when kids get big their parents stop being physically affectionate. I used to pull my teenage daughters into my lap to cuddle them on purpose to give them some nice physical affection. Everyone has that need, right? Better from a loving parent than from creepy kids at school. Another concern of mine is that girls have intuited from the media that they will be "hot" if they "make out" with each other. So sad, the desire to be hot!

I stumbled upon two (Sty?) kids "cuddling" inside the Irish Hunger Memorial last fall.

It's been 4 years since I was at Stuy...definitely don't remember this going on. Besides, if you want to get it on, we always used to use the west stairwell. NOBODY used that stairwell.

Thsi is also happening at the prestigious Calhoun School on the upper west side. A cousin of mine who did some electrical work for a contractor hired by the school told me so.

The only things I cuddled in high school were my Trapper Keeper and my Olivia Newton-John album.

Back in my day, the only media coverage of the (otherwise nonexistant) sex lives of Stuy students was of teachers molesting students. Kids these days.

Is anybody else creeped out by the idea of a 'cuddle puddle' happening in the middle of a high school? Who knew Kids would be so prescient?

This would never happen at Townsend Harris... not with the 7 to 3 ratio of gals to guys...

Anybody read the article? #4 of the top ten things my mother never said to me: “My mom’s like...I don’t understand you. I want to be a parent to you but I have no control at all . . . As a person you’re awesome. You’re hilarious, you entertain me, you’re so cool. I would totally be your friend. But as your mother, I’m worried.’ ”

why don't they just go to the 10th floor? they could have full blown sex up there as it's so empty all the time.
