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?

I am 45, I was never invited to that kind of party. Neither has DD, aged 15.

By the way I love today's teenagers, a normal healthy mix, some of them kissing boys at parties, nowt wrong with that, and some not.

When I was 15, it was certainly the norm to go to clubs (with fake IDs) and snog as many boys as we could. Going a whole night without at least a few slobbery snogs was just unthinkable.

Looking back it makes me feel a bit ill, but at the time it was just what we did. No different to teenagers today!

As a 47 yo woman who didn't ever kiss 15 boys in one night, and who now hasn't snogged anyone for about three years, I'm just feeling a bit Envy Grin...

Life is passing me by... What a waste.

Anyone fancy a snog?! Wink

'skin tight pale pink trousers put everything on show - not safe

Were you worried they'd cut off her circulation?

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 17:18

dinkybinky for someone so disgusted by all matters concerning group/random shagging, you sure seem to be interested.

It's called a sex club. If someone said "I go to a sailing club" would you ask them "oh what do you do there? Is it the same as a karate club?" What do you think goes on there?

MoomieAndFreddie · 18/11/2012 17:19

god threads like this make me dread when my dcs are teens

as they make me remember what i used to be like at 15 Blush

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 17:19

Narked I'd be more worried that she'd be arrested by the fashion police, they sound grim and a nightmare to get clean.

I'm still laughing at akiss calling me naive!!!

I'm a lone parent with a sex life!! I also have 3 teenagers...

AKissIsNotAContract · 18/11/2012 17:21

Sorry witchety, I mixed you up with dinky. I see now that you were the one who asked what a sex club was and she was the one who assumed it was a brothel, and is now thinking it's a lap dancing club. I stand by my comment that you are naive, dinky is naive and offensive.

Why am I naive? Cos I asked a question?

FairiesWearPoppies · 18/11/2012 17:24

Op I think your dd was lying when she said she waited till 19 for her first kiss.

However if it is true maybe she is not as "stunning" as you think...... jus mho is all......

But WHY would you want to do that with people you don't know? Sorry to judge but its so alien to me I cant understand why one nice guy wouldnt be enough.

I am stunned by the number of you who have never had sex with a one night stand.

Did the sexual revolution pass you by?

LapsedPacifist · 18/11/2012 17:25

I'm 51, and when we were 14/15 we used to compete to see who could snog the most lads at parties. Naice Grammar school girls we were too! Grin

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 17:25

dinkybinky It's because I have absolutely no self respect, obviously.

She works at Hollister whilst at Uni they've asked her to be in there next AD campaign so she cant be that bad.

This thread is a pile of bollocks. Its either designed to be wank fodder for a hairy handed one or its shit stirring at its worst.

TheReturnOfBridezilla · 18/11/2012 17:27

I didn't kiss many boys as a teenager. Had lots of friends and went to lots of parties but was always scared of the boys. Sad

Did make up for it in my twenties though before marriage spoiled all my fun. Grin

I hope my sons kiss away with abandon and enjoy their teenage years rather than suffering from shyness and a lack of confidence as I did.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 18/11/2012 17:28

Personally I find hollister and its marketing techniques far more abhorrent than teens kissing.

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 17:28

Do you know something dinky ? I would actually find it really awful to work in Hollister. I find the idea that someone would employ me on my looks alone to try to sell shit overpriced clothes to be totally disrespectful.

I find them and Abercrombie only employing young, attractive people to be really skeezy.

BadgersBottom · 18/11/2012 17:28

Lapsed - same here. And things got even worse when I went to a fee paying all girls school - not that I last long there but it was a real eye opener!

Narked · 18/11/2012 17:29

'I cant understand why one nice guy wouldnt be enough'

It's sex. Do you need to know that your partner would help an old lady across the road before you can reach climax?

catgirl1976 · 18/11/2012 17:29

I cant understand why one nice guy wouldnt be enough.

Ahhh OP, you have clearly never experienced the joy of two nice men at once

Then you'd understand Grin
