Forgive the bump, but I didn’t see this until now.
So often, I hear people dismiss stuff like “Porn Star” shirts, sex between middle schoolers, gangsta-wannabe behavior, and so forth as, “Well, kids are growing up faster nowadays.” NNNNNTTT! Guess again. That is not “growing up” at all. “Growing up” means you don’t give in to every base desire as it happens to strike you. It means you think before you act, and think for yourself. (Not talking about the hypnosis here, but the simulated blow-jobs photo.)
Pentax, the fact that you and your fellow students are 18 and have just graduated is exactly why what you described in the OP was inappropriate. You’re about to enter the adult world: don’t you think it’s time to leave off the “heh heh…boobies!” behavior? Seems to me that the teens who are acting out (and I know it’s not all of them, but it’s still too many) are stuck in brat mode.
The way most people learn this is by overindulging those desires at least a few times. (I’ll confess to being an exception.) Likewise, those desires get more manageable when you’re a few years older.

I just finished college. Eighteen is not a magical age, and plenty of college students behave this way too. (And, if I can take a WILD guess, so do some people beyond that age.) It does not grant some newfound level of maturity. It’s grad night, so it’s a special occasion, and people have been drinking. That’s not an event where you’re going to find the most mature behavior. Why would you expect it? They let their hair down and nobody got hurt. If they’d been totally immature, the results could’ve been worse.
