I guess I have to be the devil's advocate here. When I was 17 I was drinking, driving drunk, smoking pot, etc. that was much worse than dirty dancing. At least they are not out drinking, etc. What did you do at this age? On another hand, my daughters won't be going to these places, because as a parent it's up to me to decide what they should do. If when they are 18 they want to go, then fine they are adults.
WHAT PATHETIC RATIONALIZATION. :shock: DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT TEENAGERS FLAUNTING THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IN A BAR ARENT ALSO DRINKING SOMEWHERE?????!!!!! TALK ABOUT STICKING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND IGNORING AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM!!!!!! I GUESS THAT LITTLE SUZY WHO IS GRINDING HER BACKSIDE INTO EVERY GUY SHE DANCES WITH WOULD NEVER THINK ABOUT CONTINUING WHAT SHE STARTED IN THE BACKSEAT OF A CAR????!!! NO OF COURSE NOT!!!! :shock: REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!!!!! ANY PARENT LETTING THEIR KIDS ATTEND THESE PARTIES PLEASE COME ON HERE AND JUSTIFY PICTURES LIKE THIS!!!!!! ANYBODY HERE THAT WOULD LET THEIR DAUGHTER BE TREATED LIKE THIS??? :shock:
No, I don't have my head in the sand. Do you know what your kids do in any environment when you are not around. I guarantee you half these kids told their parents they were going to their best friends house, etc. and ended up here without their knowledge. This is how kids dance these days, and my friend if you say yours doesn't you are fooling yourself! I'm just a realist...I think your an idiot for assuming if someone dances like that they are having sex. I did a lot of things when I was that age, but sex wasn't one of them. I waited until I was 19, did you?
Who said grinding is fun? I'm soooo hot, you might need to douse me with some water later! Put that camera away, my parents don't know I'm here! Just a few years til I can replace the water bottle! This is great practice for spring break in Florida, y'all! Hey Daddy! What's he doing back there? Why is my shirt going up and my belt going down? Thanks for cooling me off baby, muah!
LMAO ....those were funny. Like I've said before, my girls will not go to these types of places until they are 18. I'm just saying...these kids could be doing a lot worse than grind dancing. Just because they are doing this doesn't make them bad kids.
I dont know anything about this place but are there adults there supervising it? And what is the age range that is allowed in there?
The problem, is that these are not 18 yr. old college students, these are kids that my kids know and believe me when I say they are far from 18. My 18 yr. old would not go to this place because it's full of kids way under her age, she's in college. This type of behaviour is what the college age group use to do. Yes, most of us can say that we had our fun when younger, doesn't mean we should excuse this type of behaviour. Just because we can say that we drank, smoked etc. at a young age doesn't make it acceptable and kids are doing things at a much younger age these days. So, when you find out that your kid has been drinking/smoking do you let it go because you did it as a teenager? Hell No, two wrongs don't make a right. Allowing them to go to places like this just encourages them to act and behave in a manner that is way above their age group.
THANKS FOR PROVING MY POINT!!!!! I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT I KNOW WHERE MY KIDS ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING. ITS NOT THAT HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THEM IF YOU TAKE PARENTING SERIOUSLY!!! AND ANY KID THAT IS SNEAKING OUT TO THIS UNDERAGE STRIP CLUB WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS KNOWING ABOUT IT AND IS DUMB ENOUGH TO LET THEIR PICTURES BE TAKEN AND PLASTERED ON THE INTERNET IS PROVING THEY ARENT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!!!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: HEAD IN THE SAND!! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! PATHETIC!!!!! WAY PAST 19 DEARIE!! AND YOUR POINT IS?????? :roll: TRYING TO JUSTIFY THAT THIS UNDERAGE STRIP CLUB IS THE LESSER OF OTHER AVAILABLE EVILS THAT KIDS COULD BE GETTING INTO IS TOTALLY PATHETIC!!!!!! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!!! :shock: I GUESS YOU SEE NO PROBLEM WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS PICTURE??? :shock: SURE THEY JUST SHOOK HANDS AT THE FRONT DOOR AT THE END OF THE NIGHT!!!! :roll:
I didn't say these kids weren't having sex, please READ what I did type. I said my kids wouldn't be allowed to go to places like this. I just think that assumptions are bad. And no, I wouldn't allow my kids to drink, smoke, etc. but that's me. I know what my kids are doing. My head isn't in the sand at all. I'm a very proactive parent and very involved in my children's lives. I'm just aware of what goes on in today's world and how teenagers behave when their parents aren't in eye sight. I guarentee your kids dance like this when you are not around.
F.Y.I for Southernborn These kids are not even close to 18 yrs. old, and you do have your head stuck in the sand. Blingo and I are hear to tell you that there is a whole lot more involved here than dirty dancing. Reality check, these kids are 14-17 years of age and this type of behaviour does encourage them to have sex. You think those young guys are not getting their rocks off on the young girl, please.......wake up and smell the coffee. Yes, there are ways to keep your kids in check with whats going on in their lives, where they are, who their with, what their doing. It's called working you *** off to keep up with them and having a good parent to parent network. It takes a whole lot of energy to do this with kids but believe me when I say it will work. So many parents these days don't want to make the effort, split families, mom/dad work very hard and are tired at the end of the day and the list goes on. Once again, my 18 yr. old would go to this place for the very reason that no one her age goes, their all young high school/middle school kids. Blingo, thanks so much for shedding the light on this place. We need this type of parent network.
How do I have my head stuck in the sand? I don't at all. It's just today's mentality that because I'm a great parent or you're a great parent that kids don't do stupid things when we are not around. I'm glad someone made us aware of these places, yes. As parent's it's our job to make sure where our kids are and who they are with. My kids are only allowed to go to a couple of friends homes, and I'm very close to their parents and know what is going on, who they are around, etc.
Southernborn, Glad that you do not approve of your kids going to this place. We all need to keep a better eye on this place and our kids because those pictures spoke volumes. If you are not approving of this place for your kids why would it be okay for anyone's kid? Devil's advocate, the dirty dancing is not okay, and no I'm not an old fart, just have open eyes to what is going on in society with the very young these days and by the time your kids reach 18 chances are they won't want to go. Once again, these kids are way under 18 yrs. of age. Listen to your kids and you'll find out like I have that there's a whole different world out there than when we were young, close to 25-30 yrs. since my college days. I have two very popular/beautiful girls and they share their world with me, although for certain they still retain some secrets of their own. Many young girls and guys have a very blasse attitude towards sex these days and pictures that Blingo has shared can give you insight as to why they are having sex at such an early age.
Well, my parents always knew where I was at as well and were good friends with the couple of friends parents I could hang around with. We didn't have cell phones back in the 80's. I had an 11 curfew from 16-18. But we would sneak out of my friends bedroom and go out. I was a good kid, good grades, etc. went to church every Sunday. My parents did have their heads stuck in the sand though, cause they were out of touch with the reality of the 80's. I agree that these kids weren't too smart for letting the evidence be captured on camera. Just don't think because your kids are "good" kids they aren't going to do stupid things when you aren't around. Too many people think "suzie or Johnny" wouldn't never do that. Don't say never.
Owe I totally agree that kids these days think oral sex, etc. is like we thought kissing was back in the day. This world is very different from my teenage years. I think the "majority" of kids do these type of dancing, but when the parents aren't around. These kids just weren't bright enough to keep it off the internet. I knew one of those kids from those pictures and have forwarded them to their parent. That's all I can do. The others I don't know, and frankly there are alot of things going on in those pics I don't agree with..if you know any of those kids show their parents the pics like I did.
But, it's not occurring just when the parents are not around. It's occurring in the school, at school functions as well, with teachers/parents present. We as a society just chalk it up to a new age etc.. Ask the kids if they reserve this type of dancing for the closet, they'll laugh at you and say heck no. Both of my girls would tell you that it's not just limited to the school dances but to lunch time everyday at school. Not sure how old your kids are but if their teens and haven't shared this info. I'd start asking a lot of questions. Start asking questions, things are not always done in the dark with these kids. Did you know that there are parents allowing underage drinking, sleepovers with both sexes within their homes, in our own community?
My girls are just 9(still doesn't like boys) and a very shy 13 yo (just turned 13). I'm surprised this goes on during lunch and at school. I know during my 13 yo school dances it doesn't, cause if she goes, I go and Mrs. Woodruff would kick a kid out if they did this at her school. Yes I know parents allow underage drinking, etc. at some party's. Fortunately my 13 has only been to 1 boy/girl party and I was also there. If I can't go, she doesn't need to be there. She doesn't do many sleepovers, it's more like our house is the hangout. No boys are going to spend the night in my home until they are married to my girls, or do like my Mom did...sure he can stay, but you are sleeping with me
AFAIK, Cleveland Middle has a hands-off policy at their school dances. Which has got to be tough to enforce when you are playing songs like "Smack that".
Southernborn, I just took a look at your "Who are you" and found that your kids are much younger than I thought. You really have no idea what the high school kids are up to these days unless your involved with them. At this point in your life you probably are thinking that you have the best kids on the block and ya know, your right. Your kids are barely into half of what their going to encounter in the next several years, they'll try things, do things, act in ways that will make you just shake your head and wonder what the heck did I do wrong. I wish you much luck in the future and hope they prove to be great kids. Mine are great kids, not to say there haven't been times when I didn't shake my head and wonder where these kids came from and what the heck are they thinking. But honestly, I think you can't possibly understand the impact of these clubs for underagers if it doesn't touch home. I wonder what your honest reaction will be in the near future when you see your oldest dancing like she's having sex with her clothes on. If you see nothing wrong with it now, will you then? Good luck with your young'uns, you have a long way to go.
