... ok. well im not here to rebel against you all but just to throw some perspective. I myself having gone to some events can personally tell you that they are not as you make them out to be - grinding, sexually oriented, 'gangsta activity..' (btw... thats about a notch passed stupid.) The clubs give teens a place to go and hangout and have fun... and get away from the bore of school, work... etc. Its a sunday night and were just hanging out. There are dancing contest and singing and even dinner. Yes thare are some dances and some ppl are crazier than other, but im here to tell you not everyone is grinding on poles. for some parents of middle school age kids i can see a point in being that you dont want them to get any ideas from a place like underRage. but sometimes i see some of these posts and it seems to be that parents dont really trust their kids in making their own choices..?
the pics from the other night show the grinding, sexually oriented activities that are going on there. the pics are not lying are they? and parents not letting their kids go has nothing to do with trusting their kids, its all about self respect which obviously these kids in the pic don't have.
Ummmm yeah! That's the very definition of being a kid! You don't have enough life experience & knowledge to make your own choice yet, especially about something like this! :roll:
i'm sitting here with my teenage daughter and a few of her friends. i showed them the myspace page and the pics from the other night and their reactions were yuck and clearly see that it is not a Christian oriented club. They were actually grossed out and said this guy with the myspace page was icky. what kind of grown man has teens on his myspace. needless to say i don't have to worry about my kids or their friends wanting to go here. and they told me what the 3 fingers mean. if you wanna know email or PM me. i'm not putting it out here.
well see the thing is i am 3 months away from being 18 years old and dont see what the big deal is.. if kids wanna have fun let them. dancing and having fun doesnt mean sex. I know most of those in those pictures and i can tell you its just for the fun. Hate to say this but ive heard of alot more being 'done' in the back of a car while parents were driving kids home. My point is teens are going to make their own choices, and as important it is to guide us, these parties are ment for harmless fun. Parents act like there set up to harbor sex acts.
Well Of course not. All im saying is that teens make their own choices as to what they want to do in their personal life... but dont bust on the rest of us for having fun in a club while getting the wrong impression towards most of us. Whats to happen in college when they are faced with a choice because of some other influences.. while some kids, which im sure your two daughters will be very well conserved, but others might get alone and start making choices they wouldnt had if they had been faced with it before. The club/party we attend doesnt make the person. While it, and others can influence you, its how you handle yourself that matters, not some stupid picture. my word! they are touching hips! they must commit sex acts! :rolls eyes:
i dont recall where in this post that i said i had to daughters. i see you have only 8 post on this name. so tell us all what name you use when posting on here regularly. there is a lot of difference between college age kids and 13, 14 and 15 yr old. and once they get to college all a parent can do is hope and pray that what they taught them sticks with them while they are out discovering the world.
um. my mistake on the daughters. and this is my name... i just started back on the forums. and we seem to agree on the age difference, as i said before about the younger crowds. I agree that the clubs shouldnt be designed for anyone younger than 16.
know the adage a picture is worth a thousand words?? is a picture not a split second of "how you handle yourself" caught on film (or in this case digital memory) there's another adage that you never get a second chance to make a first impression --- and one more for good measure “You have the freedom to choose your actions, you don't have the freedom to choose the consequences of your actions”
Help! I need clarification on this comment! According to the pictures I saw,a girl's butt is pressed FIRMLY into a boy's crotch. Could it be this is a new type of greeting? If so, I am missing out on an entirely NEW way of meeting men. I can't wait to go to McKinleys tonight and hunker on in. Thank you for your update on social interaction.
Well. I just looked it up... and started to post it! *sigh* Unfortunately, that's just the way it is in todays society. These kids have no respect for themselves. ...Probably don't even know what self-respect is. Any young folks posting on here in defense of all the crap that's going on?..don't forget to flush your babies down the toilet on your way out. backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <---- backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <----backspace <---- nsane :arrow: I'm leaving the thread before I get myself banned. :evil:
:shock: O M G Just looked up "The Shocker". If I read the right thing then it is a sexually oriented thing and I am freaked out that kids know this and make the hand gesture.
I did too and was surprised! I looked at the pictures also and no way would either of my teens go there. I know dance styles have changed and the big thing is for the girls to shake their booty, even caught my daughter dancing doing the booty thing and informed her how nasty it looked and she said "Mom, that is how everyone dances". Needless to say I informed her she didn't have to dance like everyone else. If I ever caught my kids dancing like that, (well as long as they are living with me and I still have some say so), I would knock them upside their heads and drag them out, probably kicking and screaming. What is sad, is anymore, everything has to be so sexual, from dressing, to talking, to hand gestures, to dancing, I mean everything. Modesty has gone out the window. My kids are always telling me how old fashion I am on a lot of things, but I am biding my time to the day they become parents and have to deal with their teens and see how they handle things and then I will sit back and laugh when their kids tell them that they are old fashion!
Curiosity killed the cat! OMG! My kid would never see the light of day if I EVER caught him displaying that particular hand gesture! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Funny how we use to think our parents were unfair and old fashion. I remember doing :roll: that alot. Now my kids do it and now I understand why my parents did and said what they said to me. It's scary to know that there are 12 yr old girls smoking, having sex and dressing in skimpy clothing. I was still playing w/ barbie dolls at 12. My son is 11 and in a couple of yrs I can't imagine the things that are gonna happen. These girls see singers and actresses dressing a certain way and dancing a certain way and they want to copy it. Sorry just rambling........last thought. Where are the parents when these girls are buying these clothes or have them hanging in their closets? I know they hide them but how can sooo many parents in one community be blind?
my first post i heard about this 4042 web site at the game last night and the discussion about the teen age dance club and decided to check it out. i know many of the students in the photos on the teen age dance club web site. many of the girls that i know in the pictures are trash. but most of them are just teasers. they excite the guys and then just throw ice on them. not any fun for the guy. the only reason any of my friends would be there is to pick up one of these trashy girls for a one night stand. and there are other places in the area to go to find this type girl. if i went to this dance club my parents would ground me for life.:cry: and they check on my computer activity often. plus they probaly read this discussion board.
Ok I might sound like I was naive and sheltered when I was a teen but high schoolers looking for a one night stand????? I really didn't really of hearing anyone "looking for a one night stand" til college.
I agree with that Tangerine. So sad parents these days don't care, no wonder the kids act like they do. :x
