1. High School dumps books. This confused me, and not because I'm a book-hugging Luddite. I can see why browsing a crappy modern textbook on a laptop is not much worse or better than holding one in your hand, but what about English classes, for example? Is there an advantage to reading The Scarlet Letter on a screen in electronic form versus the Penguin paperback? Or is this just the latest version of administrators falling in love with technology?
   
   
2. Cockblocking (literally). Chickens, like swinging 20somethings, have lots of empty sex.
   
   
3. This inappropriately funny headline actually shows how STDs spread among teenagers.
