What if your taking a course in human sexuality and need to understand the sexual drive of cartoon girls?

My school has a proxy that will block NG, I guess. At least in Computer I can goof off :)

Newgrounds should be allowed!

i like NG and all, and im one of the first ones that would find some way to get to it at school, but in general, i think it should be blocked. think about it: all the NSFW movies. cause you know, one asshole would pull all that shit up right in front of people, then fuck it up for everyone else

Why don't you just do what you're supposed to?

i should be blocked. NG doesn't help you learn. and if it's blocked there is less of a chance for accedently clicking on one of those NSFW games and losing all access aand having to talk with all sorts of people about why you fap in school.

Is it true that you spend most of the class talking about your sexual experiences? That must be hard for some people, I mean that's only a number of ways for you get off with your hand.

I would want it to be unblocked, but I don't think some this content is appropriate for school.

I've noticed that even though NG is blocked, you can still go to user pages.

Well to me it some what brings up one little thing...

I don't really care that much, but when I tried to show a flash movie presentation, there was almost no way of me showing it to the teacher/class.

I don't think it's a terrific idea unless you're taking graphic design or flash or something.

It's blocked on our school's computers.

It has some school-inappropriate content, but nothing on this site could fuck up the school's computers.

So yes, but no.

My school blocked it because it's non-educational. I go on Newgrounds when I finish assignments early in Info Tech.

I seldom use it at school. It's a good thing those people in my area don't even know Newgrounds.

it is blocked in all new york city public school computers, but its easy to get passed it. all you have to do is type your user name in google, click the link to your user page, and bang your on it. and this works for anything with profiles that are blocked on nyc school computers
