NEWS STORY

that's what it's like

the times has an article about the problems at mccarren park pool.

But within days, that excitement has been replaced by apprehension. Two fights at the pool and a handful of arrests confirmed the fears of some residents that the giant pool, with a capacity of 1,500, might draw an unruly crowd to a neighborhood divided among older residents of Italian and Polish descent, gentrifying newcomers and Hispanic families.

Inside the pool on Friday, teenagers scuffled with a lifeguard who had ordered them to stop doing back flips and the pool closed an hour early. On Monday, two police officers were injured by swimmers who also persisted in doing backflips. Three men were arrested and charged with assault in the second degree, inciting to riot, criminal nuisance and menacing.

and the problems aren't just inside the pool.  

Meredith Chesney, owner of Mousey Brown beauty salon near the pool, said she came out Saturday morning to discover three new tags on her roll-down security gate.
“I thought, ‘O.K., it’s Brooklyn, it’s not that surprising,’ ” she said. “But then, 30 minutes later, I went outside to water my plants and I found someone had defecated right in front of the salon. It’s shocking.”
 hey brooklyn, stop shitting on the sidewalk.

TEEN WOLF on mtv.

i watched the first episode tonight after the mtv movie awards (omg did you see edward making out with jacob?) and i think ill keep watching.

what is gabe doing this weekend?

getting a testicle amputated.



Sack tapping is not some faceless virtual scourge. It is a human tragedy. Take the eye-watering tale of 14 year-old David Gibbons of Crosby, Minn. He had to have his right testicle removed after being punched, but the worst part is probably the fact that he had to go on the local news and talk about his missing ball while sitting between his parents on a couch.

teenage slutbags.

Fifteen percent of teenagers who have cell phones say they are involved in sexting. A new study by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that nearly one in six young people aged 12-17 has received a sexually suggestive, nude or nearly nude picture via cell phone.

"[I've sexted] a few times," writes one high-school boy. "... Just my girlfriend sending pictures of herself to me and me sending pictures of myself to her."

Or as one high-school girl explains, "If a guy wants to hookup with you, he'll send a pictures of his private parts or a naked picture of him[self]. ... It's mostly the guys I date or just a guy that ... really wants to hook up with you." (via)

lessons i learned from mtv this morning.

don't get pregnant. or it will rain.


unless it's with 50 cent. then you'll be rich.

yessssss.

It’s not uncommon for teenagers to flock to the mall at the end of a school day. But something went awry on Tuesday, when thousands of high school students descended on the Atlantic Center Mall in Brooklyn and a stabbing and shootings followed.

In this case, the police pinned the commotion on — of all things — a 40-cent chicken wing promotion at a restaurant in Fort Greene.

The event, at Buffalo Wild Wings inside the mall at 139 Flatbush Avenue, was promoted to students at high schools throughout Brooklyn. (via)
