yeah but isn't that happening everywhere. i think it's up to you to take her under your wing and show her the ropes and make sure she is responsible, not just shake your finger at all ages raves. kids can still goto the big day out and get on it there...

as long as i can have a beer i'm happy, although i can cope for one night a year [enchanted]

Yeh i do all of the above and have introduced her to lots of people, including dj's who now look out for her which is nice. However, doesnt mean I approve of it but i think thats just family instinct

well if i never started going out i would have never been exposed to drugs like pills, meth etc. the rave culture has definetly made those things seem alot more acceptable than what they are to any other kid. most people my age think if they take half a pill they will die of a overdose.. and the ones that do use these drugs ONLY use them when they go to clubs/raves.... think about that.

Dave, your not wrong!!!!!

I shamefully admit that I am from down south & regret ever living there!

Not all, but a majority of the people I grew up with are still doing the same shit they were doing when we were 14!

Ive grown up & moved on and its so funny when I have to go down there and if I see anyone I know how scummy they look, with there tribe of kids and the guys still all look the same, doing the same crap.

And no, the media hasn't hyped it up one bit!

Sorry

but thats my 2c.

When i look at my little sister I think to myself- geez you have grown up way too quick.

im playing the blame game here...
as i wanted to be just like you when i was younger i morphed myself into a look alike version and therefore adopted your party hard attitude.

you've got no one to blame but yourself! Big Grin

what about the day we almost got suspened

what a day

I voted yes

I started getting drunk at 12, stoned at 13 and goin out to concerts and pubs at 14 and look at me.... I 'm a fuckin headcase no one can understand

theres no way that the answer is anything but YES

if you disagree go bash it up your arse cos yer wrong, okay?

Posted: **19 Jan 2006, 11:49pm**

I'm all for the wristband idea cos thats the main reason all age shows piss me off... can't have a few bevs!!!

Anyways, this thread being revived was a good thing cos at the last few all-ager's I've been to it seems like theres more and more underagers cropping up...what with the scene getting more popular, dnb coming (dare I say it) a bit more 'mainstream' (Pendulum's airplay etc.)....

What I think is that if the overall amount of all age shows declined then there's going to be a greater chance of some bad shit going down where drugs are concerned cos having fewer opportunities for these uneducated ppl to go to a BIG rave/BDO means the few they can get to attend means they will be going all out to get fucked up and party hard while they can...

It's us who are the role models for the younger generation.

By going out and being off tap, by talking about it with each other without caring who is around us, and doing it nonchalantly on these boards, we ARE promoting raves as a drug taking experience.

Admit it, every single one of us has decided to stay home rather than attend a rave because we haven't had enough money - and it's not just having no money for entry...

There's some people in this city, on these boards even, who won't go out unless they take drugs. What kind of example is that setting?

It's up to us to show kids we can go put and have fun without drugs.

I'm not saying we should all stop and never take them, FUCK THAT, just some people need to be more sensible about it, because you don't know who is watching you...

Agreed.

I've been to many raves with only a few drinks in me. Still had a great time and still lasted most of the night. Although these days it takes a little more to keep me going.

i assume by a little more you mean energy drinks and guarna w/ ginseng shots coz i mean noone in the right mind would take amphetamines

i know for sure that myself and others have gone to raves/clubs with just enough money for entry.. no drinking, no drugs.. you can still have a good time (sounds unconvincing) but its true if there is a good dj how can you not enjoy it? the answer is simple if you need drugs to have a good time then you're a drug addict or you're just a moron without uber skills.

Agreed. One of the best times i had was at Craze upstairs at St Pauls straight as a fucken DIE. I was bouncin off the walls that night.... just ask michi

i was straight for k-oscillate at c&s ppl thought i was peaking... that was a great night no drinks no pills thats what dreams are made of

I'm straight for 90% of the things I go see...

But that's not my point...

My point is we can't condemn those younger than us for wanting to have a good time if we're seen having a good time and that 'good time' involves drugs - including legal ones like booze...

Posted: **20 Jan 2006, 6:40pm**

I just prefer to have the option of having a drink without having to fuck around with armbands and whatever, let the kiddies go to a blue light...

Posted: **20 Jan 2006, 9:32pm**

I feel sorry for the little tackers cos when I was young I used to love going to all ages events.

However, now that I'm older and i've got a little one along the way, I think maybe we should keep the partying, drinking and drug taking for the over 18's so the young ones can at least finish school (I'm starting to wish I did!)

I don't really care about the alcohol situation because when I'm at a rave I don't usually drink anyway. Alcohol only seems to detract from the freindliness of the situation. And who really wants to wear those armbands anyway. After a couple of hours of sweating and ravers wrist the bloody things start to choke you!

Then again, the young ones will do what they want anyway, I know I did! So I Guess who are to deny them from experiencing some decent DJ's.

Posted: **21 Jan 2006, 12:54pm**

Yeah fair one feel sorry for them, but christ they have like 78 years to enjoy being over 18 and raving out.

Be a kid while you can i say!
