24. This is not unique to elite private schools by any means

I had posted this the other day:

I went to a small town public high school in Connecticut

it was a mostly white working class/blue collar town at the time and I graduated HS in the mid 80s. Out of around 400 kids total in the high school, I doubt more than a dozen kids were non white. So, about 100 kids per class, and somewhere around 50/50 boys to girls. (The town still has the white blue/collar working class element, but nowadays is a lot more diverse both racially and economically - just checking the numbers from the State Dept of Ed website, the high school now has somewhere closer to 550 kids and maybe 125/130 are not white and a white collar/middle class/upper middle class element as well)

1) When I was in middle school (Grade 6-8), a bunch of friends in town on a Catholic Youth basketball team (not associated with the school, but a lot of the basketball jocks were on both teams) lost a New England tournament championship game because they were hung over from too much drinking the night before the game.

2) While not as violent as holding girls down and covering their mouths, coerced sex was pretty common at high school parties. I was too shy and not cool enough to be invited to these parties, but I've heard the stories from enough reliable kids (boys & girls) that I'm certain the stories were true. I believe at least one girl did file a police report years later because it made the local newspaper, but I have no idea the resolution and I've mostly lost touch with all but a couple of kids from my high school except for the occasional "Happy Birthday" on Facebook.

3) Several years after graduating at a class reunion planning meeting, I found out that a girl I had graduated with had been pregnant when she marched for graduation. She then said that high school administrators at the time gave her trouble for being visibly pregnant, until her mom brought up the fact that she was a nurse at a local hospital and least 9 girls from my class came in and had had abortions. That stunned me at the time - 10 pregnancies out of somewhere around 50 girls in the class.

So, there is no way in my mind that this is something unique to expensive prep school kids - this is a problem across all income levels, I think.
