00:00Some of the pages in this Missouri High School's yearbook have sparked controversy.
00:04The two-page spreads discuss sex, drugs, and alcohol use among students attending Kirkwood
00:10High School.
00:11The student-run, award-winning yearbook staff dedicated two pages to high school hookup
00:15culture in which teenagers shared their opinions on casual sexual relationships.
00:21And the staff even polled students on the weirdest places they've hooked up, with
00:25answers ranging from the school's football field to a bowling alley parking lot.
00:29Another two pages covered drug and alcohol use, in which 100 percent of polled Kirkwood
00:34High School students admitted to knowing someone who had vaped at school.
00:38Parents were divided about the pages.
00:40Some were outraged at the yearbook for publishing the stories, while others encouraged student
00:44journalists to continue covering topics that affect their lives.
00:48Following backlash, the student-run staff released a statement on Instagram saying,
00:52We stand by our book and are proud of what we have accomplished.
