To be saddened by teenagers of today

Ive just been having a conversation with my niece. Apparently its the norm nowadays to "get with" (kiss)as many boys as possible at teenage parties. Parents even supply alcohol to 14/15 year olds.
Girls like this were called awful names if they behaved in such a way when I was at school, whats changed to make it acceptable?

Shit-shot

Anyone my age (32) used to drink martini Metz when out and about? It tasted like floor cleaner but was one of the early alcopops of its kind!!!

catgirl1976 · 18/11/2012 19:33

oooh with the Judderman adverts

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 19:34

Dregs of society! Ha!

I presume the OP goes to the "loo", uses "serviettes" and pisses herself in fear if someone in a tracksuit sits near her on the bus.

Not that she'd go on a bus. But if she did, she'd sit on a serviette.

FutTheShuckUp · 18/11/2012 19:40

Yep!!! I think I've had my first judder! Haaaa!!

DumSpiroSpero · 18/11/2012 19:41

YABU to assume all teenagers are the same.

There are thousands of them out there - many of whom are lovely, sensible, intelligent people who only snog half a dozen or so people a night

AKissIsNotAContract · 18/11/2012 19:43

I drank MD 20/20. Does anyone remember that?

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 19:43

I would rather any child of mine (not that I have any) was going out snogging wildly than they ended up all repressed and judgy about sex.

Not too keen on teenagers drinking til they puke. Not keen on anyone doing that to be honest. Not that I haven't done it a million times myself, I just tend not to think it's a great idea.

catgirl1976 · 18/11/2012 19:45

I do AKiss

And Thunderbird

BadgersBottom · 18/11/2012 19:46

That's about the only thing that seems somehow to have changed esme - today it seems to be a goal to end up puking. Back in the day that was considered a heinous waste of good alcohol!

Fishwife1980 · 18/11/2012 19:49

There have always been shit parents my exs mum used to offer me pot Shocki was 16 when we started seeing each other
Parents who will lie about your childs wereabouts ect

Also girls who are loose will always be gossiped about my dad used to say it takes 5 minutes to get a rep and a life time to loose it there are women who i went to school with 10 years ago who people still call slags from then nothing has changed the names are just diffrent

It may seem boys dont pay any mind to tarty girls i have a son and i can tell you they do he can very easily tell you the names of the dirty girls as they are called

InNeedOfBrandy · 18/11/2012 19:49

kiss I remember to! I'm sure it was blue...

marriedinwhite · 18/11/2012 19:49

It went on when I was 15 but I wasn't involved [prim emoticon]. Had a nice boyfriend at 15 and we did things like holding hands, walking on the beach, Sunday evensong Shock, the YCs and Young Farmers. It went on at College when I was 18 and I had a nice boyfriend then too. And when I came to London when I was 21 and I soon had a nice boyfriend. Never had a random snog or a one night stand.

DD is 14.5 and much too interested in school work and singing. DS is almost 18 and in the last few months has had a dreadful bout of tonsillitis and some very strange bruises on his neck from time to time. He is very clear that he wouldn't snog a girl under 17 and prefers the more mature ones of 18 Grin. makes mental note to tell him to pick up some strepsils next time he goes to Boots

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 19:51

"girls who are loose" "tarty girls" "dirty girls" - fuck sake. I really hope when your son starts on that shit you give him a stern telling off. Does he tell you who the loose boys are as well, or is it only women who get that kind of shit off him?

Fishwife1980 · 18/11/2012 19:51

FromEsme peronally i wouldnt my nephew (20) knows one girl who has sex with 8 boys already with in the sixth form and there was a nasty thing of her bits going round monile phones

greeneyed · 18/11/2012 19:51

Yeah Thunderbirds, Martini, Taboo and Mirage - Yuk! Oh I fair puked my stomach lining up after same 17 boy snog party at age 14 - dry martini, still cannot stand the smell, that was nearly 25 years ago! there was one room with about 20 people snogging in it - hilarious and yes we used to grade them all :)

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 19:54

Fishwife personally you wouldn't what?

A nasty thing of her bits going round mobile phones? I suppose you mean a "photo" of her "vulva". Well, yeah, no-one wants that, do they? But it's not her who's at fault here, it's the skanks that think it's funny to pass that on.

Fishwife1980 · 18/11/2012 19:54

FromEsme i am afarid haveing sex with boys has a effect on GIRLS its sad but true more often a boy can shake a rep off and move on as a women or a girl if you shag about you are likey to attract more people who just want sex or who tart you like shit

Sad but true it should work both ways but is dose not

greeneyed · 18/11/2012 19:55

Yes and I'd say the drinking was far more dangerous than the snogging

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 19:55

Fishwife yeah and people like you only perpetuate that stereotype. Frankly, I couldn't give a fuck if I have a reputation. If someone believes any of that shit, I wouldn't want to be with them anyway.

Fishwife1980 · 18/11/2012 19:56

FromEsme i am afarid i lay the balme with BOTH also the parents whom should have had that conversation

You should not be sending boys (espically ones who are not your bf) pictures of your lady bits

And the person who got sent the pictures should not be posting them on

I would not evean send my oh pictures like that

AKissIsNotAContract · 18/11/2012 19:57

It does if you shag men who aren't total bell ends. If the men in question didn't go round bragging about their conquests then no one would know how many men the girl had slept with.

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 19:58

"lady bits" For God's sake, grow up.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 18/11/2012 19:58

So the 8 boys are fine but the girl is a slag.
Right.
I give up today, the twatwankers really have invaded

Fishwife1980 · 18/11/2012 19:59

FromEsme yes your a adult but i have no doubut that a 14/15 year old girl carers gratley if boys are only paying here attention because they heard she is easy

Makes no bones to adults when you can just move on but when your that age and stuck in school ,collage or uni it matter a lot and many on here will not want there daughter to be the one all the boys have had it off with

I wouldnt want my son yo be that boy but like i said it effects girls more sad but true
