as an aside: sorry, sadzzz, but a) just because we didn't hear about it in the media, didn't mean it wasn't happening, and b) that kind of stuff is NEVER "innocent".
is it really more crazy these days or is it just a lot more publicized?
i'm curious, what drove you guys to "obey your limits"? you say you inherently knew, so was it fear of being yelled at, or were you concerned about your parents, or were you just going to sedate parties where it was easier to leave, or were you motivated religiously? i'm not being flippant, i'm just wondering, honestly. because i know it takes an immense amount of self-control and presence to leave a really good party just when its getting started, and really, i don't know about pakistan, but at least in toronto, most clubs and even weekend home parties don't really get hopping until about 10. and what about alcohol? was no one here tempted to try it? or pot? its so prevalent in culture here, anyone who was raised in north america surely knows how easy it is to get a hold of it. how do you school your children on those issues?
no not at all... there was never a fear of getting yelled at. It was the fear of disappointing them. We lived in a smaller community back then... and i know a lot of the other kids my age did that kinda stuff, but it wasnt my thing. Just wasnt into it..
We hardly ever got yelled at for being late or things like that... but we knew if we did something wrong... we'd get that horrible silence and disappointment type of treatment.. which is sooo much worst.
I have NEVER been tempted to try alcohol. After seeing what it does to friends and the fact they have no hosh... makes me wanna stay away completely. But everyones different. Some see others actions and that refrains them... while others want to join in. Different school of thinknig
parties are the same everywhere... but i was never into that stuff.
