It's Friday night, what are your teens upto right now and how old are they?

Mine is 16 and has a group of friends round in his bedroom after getting food at the local takeaway.

18 year old is at work. 14 and 17 year olds are watching a film and eating crisps.

12yo (so not quite a teen) is on the phone with her best friend. Would normally be at sports practice but it was cancelled.

13yo at Scouts.

SunsetCocktails · 28/03/2025 18:48

17 year old is just off out with her friends, will no doubt involve crappy food from somewhere

15 year old DS eating dinner and watching a movie. 12yo DD at a school disco, sending me furious texts because I won't grant permission for her to leave early (and roam around the streets). She's absolutely fuming so the drive home will likely be frosty!!

18 yo is at uni so no idea!

14 year old is at a friend's house.

RipePeach · 28/03/2025 18:50

18 year old is at the pub with his mates, 16 year old in the shower getting ready to go out with his mates and 15 year old DD is at a sleepover. They have a far better social life than me!

13 year old watching Netflix, would usually be at sports practice but has to get up early tomorrow. 15 year old should be leaving sports practice to go to the station to get the bus home.

Losttheplotornot · 28/03/2025 18:51

13 Yr old broke up for Easter today so is sat melting into sofa surrounded by snacks. She's been boarding all this week due to being in a school drama production so it's lovely to have her back home

Chickoletta · 28/03/2025 18:53

DS14 is on the moors, probably cooking his dinner outside a tent right now ready for a gruelling 2 day training expedition this weekend.
DD12 is reading in her room with the cats while I cook dinner. Peaceful end to a busy week.

ShaunaSadeki · 28/03/2025 18:53

DD14 has gone round to a friends with a load of others. She had one friend here for a bit and I cooked them a pizza while she did a not quite good enough tidy of her bedroom

Teladi · 28/03/2025 18:55

Last day of term here, DD (13) is over at a friend's house having dinner as it's the friend's birthday. I've to pick her up at 8. Looking forward to a glass of wine when that task is complete

Iknowaboutpopular · 28/03/2025 18:56

18 is out with his friends for a curry and pint.
17 has just showered and done her self care for the evening.
14 is doing some revision.
12 is rewatching the jurassic park series and doing some drawing. She's building a portfolio in prep for art gcse.
I can't leave out 9, who is reading Harry Potter. She's autistic and this is one of her focused interests.
And 8 is playing roblox with his friend.

EndorsingPRActice · 28/03/2025 18:56

DD (18) is sat next to me on the sofa playing her keyboard, she’s learning the theme tune to The Pink Panther and earlier on today arrived home from uni for Easter. DS (22) is back packing round New Zealand, he’s in Christchurch today.

PotThePens · 28/03/2025 18:57

18 year old son is in the kitchen with 21 year old son cooking dinner for all of us. Dh is having a snooze on the sofa and I am on here.

Branleuse · 28/03/2025 19:00

18 yr old is at his girlfriend's, and the 17 year old was listening to music in the kitchen

nicky2512 · 28/03/2025 19:01

Only one teenager left! Ds is 19 and he’s just left to drive to a club he attends related to a hobby he has. Dh went along too for a wee trip out. I think he just likes getting driven about after all the years of doing the driving.
23 year old dd is on the settee watching the tv and i’m joining her as soon as I walk the dog. We have a chocolate orange waiting for us!

EmeraldDreams73 · 28/03/2025 19:04

Dd16 is sitting next to me on the sofa eating ice cream and watching a film. She's up early tomorrow for work at the local garden centre, on the tills coping with numerous rude old bastards.

Dd20 is at uni - I'd love to say she's probably out but she won't be, she'll be studying.

19 year old son- out with his friends for his birthday in a city an hour from home. Staying over in someone’s Uni halls and back tomorrow.

15yr old daughter eating dinner with a sour face, snapping at everyone who speaks/ moves. She’s got mock exams
next week so may go back to revision or may decide to scrap it for this evening and watch something on Netflix (she’s currently watching One Day).
