Some of the stuff I've had to witness would make your hair curl! We were all young once, though, and I'm sure i'd have a few "fruity" videos to share if I was that age again.
I never, however, skinned a cat. I'm pretty sure that, like now, I wouldn't have found it amusing either.
So, yes, that is what greeted me when I took a look at the video. Footage of these lads kicking a cat, and finally skinning it once it had died. All laughing and gloating, it somehow reminded me of something out of Lord of the flies.
I turned away pretty quickly and shouted at them a bit (probably the only time I have raised my voice as a youth worker), but as predicted, they found the fact I was so offended even more amusing that what was going on on the video. They then pursued me all evening, asking why I thought it offensive.
Whatever answer I gave, they laughed at. There is no point in trying to reason with this kind of mentality. It was if I was in the wrong for saying they were wrong?
Every now and again I hear whispers. I know they are considering showing me other stuff they have on their phones, but others intervene, saying "No, no, don't show him that!". If they thought I would be ok watching a video of them skinning a cat, what is it that they deem not suitable for me to not watch on their phones...?
That is the worrying thing, and I really, really don't want to know...
