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?

And I'm not sure why they do it, Esme, since the stores are so dark you need a torch anyway!

She works for holliester and you believe that? I bet she spreads easier than butter

Tee2072 · 18/11/2012 17:30

My god I spent most of my university days shagging and drinking.

I thought everyone did!

FutTheShuckUp · 18/11/2012 17:30

Sigh- this thread brings back whistful memories of being in a nightclub when the Irish rugby team were in town Smile
Oh man I may have been called a name or branded cheap!!! Oh sorry I appear to have no fucks to give!!!

YY to Hollister being seriously creepy.

exoticfruits · 18/11/2012 17:32

I don't think that it is any different. It also depends on the teenager- they don't all. I was much too shy.

DPs mum still thought he was a virgin, until we announced I was pregnant. God knows why, seeming how we had been living together for 4 months, and been sharing a bed for even longer at each others home prior to living together.

Some mothers really do wear rose tinted glasses.

AllYoursBabooshka · 18/11/2012 17:32

Jesus Narked that made me roar. :o

This thread is hilarious!

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 17:32

Fairies that's a really obnoxious thing to say.

exoticfruits · 18/11/2012 17:34

The sexual revolution obviously passed me by- I have never had a one night stand- or wanted to.

AllYoursBabooshka · 18/11/2012 17:34

Ok x post, not so funny now.

Fairies that was grim.

merlottits · 18/11/2012 17:36

I miss snogging so much!

I'm 40 and when I was 15 if I snogged less than 10 boys on a night out it was a big fail Smile I was a local legend

It was nothing to do with sex - I never lost my virginity until I was 19.

So much fun. I wish I was a teenager

AmazingBouncingFerret · 18/11/2012 17:37

Think you overstepped the line there Fairies...

merlottits · 18/11/2012 17:38

I remember fondly being 22 and being in a nightclub with the England rugby team...so many lips...so little time

FutTheShuckUp · 18/11/2012 17:38

Thing is if I were your child I wouldn't admit to kissing anyone before 19 and would be too scared to admit to a sex life due to being judged. It doesn't make for a happy mother daughter relationship, this I know

FairiesWearPoppies · 18/11/2012 17:39

Didn't say there was anything wrong with it just don't get the op's naiveity

missymoomoomee · 18/11/2012 17:39

Fairies :( that was too much.

FromEsme · 18/11/2012 17:39

Still a grim thing to say, Fairies .

flow4 · 18/11/2012 17:41

No-one then?

catgirl1976 · 18/11/2012 17:42
