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?

Why are you posting what your friend thinks? If it's not also what you think you need to make that clear.

Oh.

I thought you didn't mix with the "dregs of society".

It would rather appear that you do.

Fromesme, I do not think it?s appropriate for 14 year old boys or girls to be kissing (and more) up to 15 different boys/girls on one night.

So you've said.

What's your point? That it is ok to then call girls who do that "slappers"?

Its amazing how all of these people in your life have never kissed lots of boys in one night.

Do you maybe think you come over as very judgemental and people don't want to tell you the truth.

I am 30 and we did exactly the same at that age. My friends and I didn't have sex with the boys we kissed but there was a whole lot of snogging going on, mostly fuelled by Martini and cider!
I think girls are more likely to have sex at a younger age nowadays but the kissing loads of boys thing is definitely not new

dinky really Hmm "not so nice part of town" is that where all the dregs, slappers and bikes hang out - have you been resurrected from the 1950s? As I said before I think you've led a sheltered life.

greeneyed it's funny that dinky should think the "not so good side of town" is where all the "slappers" live,because the fee paying schools where I live have a notorious reputation. But suppose all the dregs and poor slappers have led them astray.

Honestly binky,kissing,even sleeping around really isn't the biggest crime in the world.

And whilst you and your charming friend might still think of that woman as "the bike", I would imagine that the people she has in her life now don't. She's probably some bodies wife/parnter and mother by now.

"any one who has a teenage daughter 15/16/17 i would be intested to know what you have told you duaghter about this type of thing"

This:

"And if I ever had had a daughter, I would have warned her to steer well clear of nasty little misogynists who snog girls and then call them slappers"

If dd ever shows signs of basing her self esteem on the opinions of nasty little misogynists like that, then I shall be sorry indeed.

As for ds, I feel confident that if he ever uses expressions like that, dd will kill him. So that's all taken care of.

Fridge - I never liked the same boys as my friends. I liked their older brothers instead Grin

You know, I really do not understand people who still care about what went on at school. I left my shithole of a home town 12 years ago and have been back about 3 times, so really, I don't even remember 99% of the people I went to school with.

The thought that some of them are still down in the pub moaning about what so and so did a decade ago seems so fucking odd to me. And sad. And pathetic.
