They are affectionly called “Nappy nights” in the town I live in.
So say, alcohol free etc etc , but as expected the kids get their alcopops from somewhere. :roll: In the main the “kids” have a good time & these nights are trouble free. There are however the bad apples in the barrel that kick off & spoil it. I am not entirely sure it is a good idea but, when I was that age we had things called youth clubs which had regular disco’s & occasional trips to concerts to the the bands of the era.
Sadly like many things when I were a lass the youth clubs etc no longer exsist & the kids these days have got nowhere to go to hang out. They wander aimlessly around the town, streets etc at all hours doing god knows what. During the summer the police were doing randon sweeps of the local parks where the kids were known to hang out swiggin special brew,popping E’s & worse.
Like it or not it’s a sign of the times. We can only do our best for our kids & the element of trust has to be exercised. My kids have yet to reach that “lovely” age & when they do I only hope that I have done all I can to help them wise up to do the right thing. 8-[
I don’t really agree with it but I would rather they were at the local nappy night than wandering the streets.
