This past Wednesday and Thursday was all about improvising. The consent forms on sex education for the older female group did not get back to us on time. The curriculum was hampered but fortunately, the medical students improvised.
Meanwhile, I was out interacting with the younger female group ( <11 class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">counselor and planned activity, Jeremy, Valerie and I offered our assistance with the warm up exercise and ball games.
I am obviously new, and a few of these teens were not hesitant to ask general questions about me directly. Again, I am surprised that the females are more extroverted than their male peers in comparison to my experience from last week.
I noticed that a few of the female teens were already exhibiting "boy crazy" behaviors. They were more interesting in interacting with the male "attendants"; who were close to their age, than participating in the physical activities.
What I saw as boy crazy behaviors include refusing to take part in the warm up exercise or activity but instead followed the male attendant around and were coquettish in behaviors and mannerism. Once the attendants were gone, I see the same female teens slouching on the sitting area or even lying on the seating area instead of rejoining the group in their games.
Please correct me if I misinterpreted the "boy crazy" behavior I witnessed. I find it disturbing...Perhaps we should introduce "Tween Dating and Relationships and Abuse" module to this group?
