I got the late bus home last night 12.20 am

[sandrajo]

and on it were 3 14/15 year old girls! Now does anyone think like me that after midnight is a tad late for teenagers to be out? I had to be in no later than 9.00 on a school night and 10.30 at the weekend.

Also Bruce Bee was on the bus, it was huge....when did bees start coming out at night time; strange???

I absolutely agree with you! Where do their parents think they were at that time in the morning, even at 14 or 15 years old, if they are not home you would be ringing their mobiles and jumping in the car to go and fetch them! No chold of any age should be left to travel on public transport that late at night. If you can't get your kids home at a reasonable hour, ot fetch them yourself, then you don;t let them have the flexibility and priveledge of being trusted to be out late!!! There is no excuse, and assuming it is a school night, (here they are off for a 2 week Spring Break) then the parents need a talking to, not sure who would want that ob though .
I wonder if all parents concerned actually knew the girls were out, even if one girl was staying over at the others place, that should not be done on school nights, it is disruprive to routine to allow that on school nights.

On the other hand, they may have been 16 and broken up for exams, on study leave, still ever so wrong though!!

Rant over, Hi Sandra!!

I think I started going out when I was about 13 and then had to be in before it got dark, and only to park down road.

I can remember being 16 and having to be in by 10pm.

Once I was late and my Mum came looking for me ranting and raving. OOhh the embarrassment as I was hanging with girlfriends and trying to impress a boy!!

the worry I would have with these girls on the bus, is did ALL their parents know they were out that late, or was it the case that they were supposedly somewhere else and their parents think they were in another girls house. It's a very dangerous thing

But then they may have been older now I;m nearing 30 I go in my local and they all look 12 :-)

Hi Dot. No they weren't 16 as I asked what the hell they were doing out and what age they were (am like that) ....quite cheekily and proudly they said 14/15 and gave me one of they stares you know they ones teenagers give lol...I'll be on the same bus the night and they better not be or I'll have summit to say about it!!!!
