AIBU to ask what things you did as a teenager but would be horrified by if your DCs did them now?

I'll start:

*Smoking when I was about 15
*Drinking when I was about 14
*Copping off with lads
*Immediately taking off my sensible skirt when I got round the corner and changing into a leather mini skirt and heels at my friend's house...
*Getting arrested for throwing eggs at John Major (actually, I'd be proud of the kids if they did that to David Cameron!)

I wasn't a wild child, honest!

I was quite a boring teenager. I had a couple of drags of other people's cigarettes at about 16, and I drunk alcohol from about 13/14 but never even got tipsy until I was at uni.

The only things I did that I would hate my DDs to do was getting into a car driven by a mate who didn't have a licence and cycling off-road without a helmet

Getting in a fistfight at 21 on the lawn of a Greek Orthodox Church on a Sunday afternoon when someone called me a "stuck up preppie bitch". I had a black eye, and had to wear my horrid prescription sunglasses for a week because my other pair was broken. The only reason I wasn't arrested was the police officer saw I had much the worse of it. Moral: If you attended a posh private Quaker girls' school, don't start a physical fight with a reform school alumna.

Strange isn't it! I hope by being liberal and having only very few rules that I absolutely insist on that they'll be respected. If she plays with a ouija board she's going to have to look for a new mum

I did a few class A drugs. But to be honest I wouldn't mind if my DCs did too. I had a great time, never went over the top and was always quite careful.

So much. Thought I was an adult at 13 which I cringe at now.

Sex at 13 (albeit with a bf who remained my bf until 18)
Drinking at the same age
A couple five one night stands throughout late teens / early twenties
Class As at uni...
Lying to impress people a couple of times as a teen and getting caught out which was embarrassing

My friends all seemed to be doing the same though I

pardon. I love that as a basic rule, and will be telling my DS the same - "No heroin or ouji boards! Anything else, fine..."

Funnily enough, my mum (lapsed Catholic) also went on about them a lot (doesn't like Tarot, either) and it's definitely stuck. I'm not particularly 'woo', but why chance it?

I'm not a woo person either, but that Ouija experience really bloody terrified me. We did it thinking it would be a bit of fun but all the power went out and a bloody window blew open. That terrified us enough to throw it out. Only for (and I'm not kidding here) it to turn up again in the house. Gave it to my friend to get rid of and the same thing happened.

I know it's probably just something stupid but it bloody terrifies me even now thinking about it. I think we burned it in the end.

I'm quite alright with them summoning the Devil and/or Dracula though if they want. Ouija, no chance!

Underage sex, underage drinking (heavy) and smoking, hitch-hiking, getting strangers to give us lifts on their motorbikes at pubs, shoplifting, breaking and entering closed nightclubs, lying about where I was, going into topless competitions...and I was seen as pretty well-behaved in my year at school.
