NUTTIN NUH LEF !

PAULA GORDON, STAR Writer
Several teenagers had to be removed from the Oxford House parking lot, located along Oxford Road near Mas Camp in the wee hours last Saturday morning, because they were caught making out after a carnival event.

Information reaching THE STAR is that about 4:30 a.m., six teenagers who appeared to be intoxicated after attending the event were seen by a security guard in compromising positions in the parking lot.

“There was a lot of tongue-bathing. I don’t think they know what they were doing, them get on very much, they were definitely drunk,” the security guard told THE STAR.

He reasoned, “Some youths maybe 16 years and a little over, both girls and boys seem like they were drinking, get drunk … . Some of them was falling down, some of them was laying down in the flower beds, some went to the car, then them draw dem back out.”

THE STAR understands that it was the females who were indulging in the acts while the males were trying to stop them. “The youth dem was black but the young ladies dem was white, uptown. The boys were trying to shield the girls ’cause they were kissing each other,” the guard remarked.

A woman who works on the compound, who happened to witness what the teenagers were doing, said, “It’s really sad to see what these young ladies are doing with themselves. What kind of parent allows their teenage daughters to be out at that hour and at these events?”

In an interview with THE STAR recently, Dr Grace Kelly, president of the Jamaica Association of Guidance Counsellors of Education, made an appeal to unscrupulous persons who are feeding students with substances such as drugs and alcohol to stop the abuse. She also urged students to desist from using these substances because it can affect their development.
