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?

Oh OP i thought you'd left us dregs to drown in our own detritus how magananimous of you to return to try and save us from our own destruction in the pit of poor morals.

Other things that can be spread by kissing:

Love
Friendship
Laughter
Fun
Happiness

Oh fgs. Totally normal developmental behaviour to experiment when you become a teenager.

gordyslovesheep · 18/11/2012 18:08

people where kissing IN CHURCH today - can you BELIEVE it - children where present as well !!!!!!

SecretSquirrels · 18/11/2012 18:09

I'm 54 and we bought our own alcohol in my day. I looked the oldest at 15 when tarted up and so was delegated to go into the off license for cider to drink in the park.
My 16 year old son will need ID to buy alcohol even when he is 18. He has been to a few well supervised parties where he has taken one bottle of beer, purchased by me.
Which is better?

merlottits · 18/11/2012 18:10

I have a post-grad diploma in infection prevention and I was a serial snogger.

I like to live life on the edge me.

Did anyone else have a kissing scoring system? I did. Me and my mates had terms for 'varieties' of kissing e.g. 'the washing machine' - too swirly 'the lizard' tongue in and out 'Gandhi's flipflop' - too dry...

My life now is so dull Grin

pointythings · 18/11/2012 18:12

When I was 14/15 this certainly went on - I was a late developer and very geeky and wasn't interested, but I wouldn't have dreamed of judging. I'm 44.

This was in Holland, btw, OP - a sexually permissive society, clearly full of dregs, with one of the lowest teenage pregnancy rates in the world.

I hate teenager slagging threads too. Most of the teenagers I've met in our town are lovely.

theDudesmummy · 18/11/2012 18:14

My goodness, I am 49 and this is exactly how we behaved at that age too! Spent plenty of time as a teenager getting very drunk/stoned and (a bit later than 14 or 15 I must admit) snogging all and sundry, dancing on tables on bars etc etc... I seem to have survived and managed to get my university education, did not get pregnant young, went on to have a pretty succesful life, etc.

I don't think this is new thing...in fact my teenage stepdaughters seem to me to be positively puritanical at times. One does not drink and they both seem to be virgins (as far as I know). If they had seen me at their age they would have been highly shocked.

Hugs Mrs DV xxxxx

TiredBooyhoo · 18/11/2012 18:22

Grin @ OP saying she doesn't associates with the dregs of society IRL.

OP i dare you to ask your friends whether they kissed lots of people as teens or have ever had ONS. are you honestly saying you believe all your friends only kissed one person and saved it til their wedding day with the person they are still married to now?

TapirBackRider · 18/11/2012 18:32

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

I used to know people like the OP, idiots who truly believe that girls/women are the root of all evil, clutch their pearls whenever a female dares to do anything they don't approve of, and god forbid, even think for themselves.

However, I have just an inkling that the OP is just a hairy handed little trip-trapper dancing around under a bridge somewhere.

Thanks

Thanks Mrs DV.

Dawndonna · 18/11/2012 18:48

Dregs of society. Made me piss myself.
Sweetie there are more Phds on here than you've had snogs.

Alisvolatpropiis · 18/11/2012 18:56

FromEsme what's a sex club?

I really don't think 14/15 years having a few Smirnoff ices (or whatever alcopop it is now) and kissing a few of the other boys/ girls in attendance is an indication that Britain is going the way of Sodom and Gomorrah. Nor do I think it's anything new.

There are bigger problems in the world.

littlewhitebag · 18/11/2012 19:17

Oh my word. At 15 i did love to snog! And drink too. I am 50 now and sadly snogging is very limited but the wine still flows. My DD is almost 15 and i think she is weird as she has no interest in either boys or drinking. She just likes doing school work and playing hockey!

Moominsarescary · 18/11/2012 19:28

Op get a grip!
You didn't actually teach your dd to respect herself did you? You scared the shot out of her with lists of infectious diseases.
