“The yearbook is a reflection of their experience. It’s not for parents. It’s not for grandparents. It’s for them.”

staff in Kirkwood, Missouri, has found themselves at the center of a controversy after printing pages dedicated to sex, drugs and underage drinking.

“You start flipping through, and it’s really nice — you see the swim team and the basketball team, and all their accomplishments," Walker says. “Then you turn the page.”Walker says she was “horrified” to discover sections written by students about marijuana, alcohol and hook-up culture. The spread is decorated with images that include emergency contraceptive Plan B One-Step, a pregnancy test and condoms. In the text, students dish about things including the “weirdest” places they have hooked up. Answers range from “the football field” to “a bowling alley parking lot in the back seat of someone else’s car.”“What kind of sicko is allowing this sort of stuff to be published?” Walker says.

Eden declined to comment to TODAY.com, mentioning that the students themselves created and own the work.
