Students stun commuter by discussing private topics in public

Students are not only brazenly open about making out in public, apparently they are also unabashed about discussing sensitive topics in public places.

A group of girls from Greendale Secondary were talking loudly amongst themselves, reported one commuter, who sent in pictures and a transcript of a conversation overheard on board a bus to citizen journalism site, STOMP.

Their intimate gossip about amniotic fluid, pregnancy and condoms greatly disturbed the commuter who was sitting right in front of the group.

The following is an excerpt of the conversation that the commuter alleged took place:

“Student A, the one in the photo, asked: ‘Oh, what’s the liquid called in a pregnant woman that protects the baby?’

“Students B and C answered: ‘Oh, it’s called the amniotic fluid.’

“Student A then proudly said: ‘Oh that means now that I’m not pregnant, I only have a little amniotic fluid.’

“Student B proudly replied, ‘Oh ya! There’s only a bit of amniotic fluid in you now as you’re so skinny.’

“The 3 students laughed loudly.

What was even more shocking to the commuter, was when the first student related how a male teacher had told her that he was going to a nearby shopping mall to buy condoms.

The other student then answered loudly: “Oh they sell three-in-one packs. There is even a buy one-get-one-free (promotion)”.

According to the commuter, the first student then asked: “Condoms got size one, huh?” Whereby student B replied loudly and proudly: “Got, sizes ‘S’ and ‘M’ – will expand what!”

Said the commuter: “As a lady, I felt disgusted that they were actually discussing all these topics in the presence of male passengers on the bus.

“I hope that the MOE and the principal of Greendale Secondary School can take action on this issue.

“It’s such a disgrace to your school, to Singapore’s education system and to Singapore.”


smalltomato feels unjust for the students!
1) they could be bio students and know the name of the fluid from their co urse of study
2) the commuter said she's disgusted that the students are discussing such topics in front of male passengers and that the principal and MOE should do something about it. “It’s such a disgrace to your school, to Singapore’s education system and to Singapore.”
- smalltomato: Hasn’t the education system been wanting to improve on sex education to better educate singaporean students to bring down the abortion rate? They want it to be an open communication so that it’s easier for parents to teach their children on sex too isn’t it?

smalltomato feels that this commuter's view is unjustifiable.
