Night Life For Teenagers Through the Years

Now In this Day and Age that we life in all teenagers do is get Wasted(P*ssed) every weekend if they can!
But Not Me!
And They Have No where 2 Go 2 be Safe Etc.
And i was Wondering what it was like when you were Teenagers.
Thanks Guys :)

when i was a teenager i would meet up with friends and go to the milk bar or a youth club.when we did start going to pubs yes underage we would sit very quietly with half a lager and lime.we would go for walks etc.kids today have so much more than we did as teenagers.we had black and white tv,radiograms,record players,lp records and singles.i was a teenager in the sixties .we had to be home at a reasonable time at night if not you lost your right to go out again for a while.boyfriends had to be vetoed by your parents.we always found things to occupy our minds.life was probably not much different to today other than we didn't have much money and we respected other people and their lives and properties.imo respect is something that is sadly lacking in some of the youths of today.although there are some fabulous youngsters out there.

At Least u were allowed out.
I cant even open my front door with one of my parents sayin " WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

Ahh Guernseyguy07 they just worry thats all...

I am the very same way with my son and he is 21 this year..lol
I ask where he is going ..who he is with... i even ask who it is on his mobile phone..lol
I know sometimes i must annoy him ..but its just a parent thing....or maybe i am just nosey!!!

When i was a teenager.......I would never have stepped out of line....I respected my parents and their rules ....If i was told to be in at a certain time then i would...
We went to the odd house party or disco at Beau Sejour but i can honestly say i never would of drank alcohol under age....I was to scared...lol I would of been in big trouble .....

I would go into town on a saturday lunchtime ...have a bite to eat with girlfriends...do some mooching about the shops and walk back home again....
Same as Thistle said...boyfriends were vetted....I was 17 when i had my first serious boyfriend...and we went out togther for nearly 3 years....times have changed to what the youngsters get up to now a days... I can't believe what some 15 and 16 year old girls are allowed to do.......its scary !!!!!

Kiwis Kitten are you Talkin about Birds and Bees??

well yes ...kind of.....

some girls can stay our till early hours of the morning....and drink alcohol....etc etc....
it was unheard of in my house when i was a teenager.....:)

I am amazed at what some parents allow their teenagers to get up too .....

Well I Agree. And I'm only 16 myself.
The Only time i drink is when something Special is going on or on a Sunday Evenin when we Have our Roast dinner

U sound like a very well brought up young man GG... :)

This makes me laugh........my daughter was a 'normal' teenager with all the angst that goes with it - and being half Italian (and me quarter Irish) the rows we had were something to behold - but always ended up with us falling into each others arms laughing uncontrollably!!! (realising how silly we both looked) Now she has a 19 year old who wants to do what he wants to do!!! (including drinking) for the last 4 years I've had her on the phone say things like mother you'll never guess what he did/said etc and I have just laughed and said 'wonder where he got that from' LOL and she admitted not too long ago after a fraught time with him that she was very very surprised that her dad and I had let her live!!!!!! So guernseyguy you too will look back in wonderment :-)))))

Well i wouldnt Say that i have my Moments lol. :Bolt1:

I am sure u do have your moments GG...its all part of growing up...but its also very true what Karma says.......u will look back in wonderment :)

yea! i'm sure i will do but i hope it will be a long time b4 i do

u have many years before then to go :)

just enjoy your youth...the years go by so fast....

Its great to have someone of your age posting on the forum...:)

Am i the only one??

don't worry GG I'm the oldest (I think)........it's the meeting of minds and humour that makes it gel!!!!

I think we have maybe one or two younger who post in the minimoto section...

Its just nice to have a range of ages posting....

yea! i think its gr8 havin this just to bitch reali lol

lol... :-)

theres the games section too..:)

About my teenage years - in London - all girls school until I was 17 - policeman for a father ......no I did not get away with anything - my dad used to phone up the nearest police station if I was invited out and any slightest hint of trouble I was forbidden!!!!! or if I went, even up until 20 my dad met me and walked me home!!!!!!
So I bought my children up in a relaxed manner - suited one (girl) but the boy went off the rails for lack of supervision (his words not mine) so you cannot win you can just be there for them!!!!

i am probably second oldest so you got to very old m8s who are very young at heart GG.lol

LOL you r only as old as u think you are Thistle and i feel about 25 atm lol

ooooooh GG too old for me - I've stuck at and am sticking to 16 :-)))))

At 16 I was busy as I had my motorbike and played sports, mainly skating & Roller Hockey! Too spotty for girls then.... lol!

Part of the problem these days seems to be that youngsters get too much too soon. We did not have the expectations for material possessions that seem to be the norm now. I base this on my own 'young adults' expectations and wants....

I Agree.

Wait till your a parent and then you will understand the no scooter, and where are you going. You are lucky to have parents that care, some parents don't give a hoot. So make the most of it.
