As you can see from the title, I'm about to write a big, pissed off rant.
So I went out with a couple of my friends yesterday and we went to our usual little place we hang around at. It's a playground/park in a street. Anyway, it was around 9pm on a Saturday night and the four of us were sitting on swings or on the floor, talking. Note: We were talking in normal tones with the exception of bursts of laughter here and there. Also my phone was on and we were listening to music, which wasn't on so loud since we were speaking normally without yelling. Suddenly a man approached the fence of the playground/park and yelled out: "If you do not get out of the p/p in 10 minutes I will call the police (he mumbled the last part. I personally heard 'There will be action.') and he simply walked away. I instantly yelled after him. "What did we do?" When he didn't answer I yelled once more. "At least give me a good argument don't walk away!" He still didn't answer.. Needless to say, I was pissed off.
One of them was scared so we moved a bit or to be exact we moved right out of the playground and sat on the first bench in front of it. The Jackass didn't come back so I've figured he was just scaring us off and had no intentions on returning.
The point of this whole rant was.. Why do adults think that all teenagers are only looking for trouble or doing something illegal? All we did was sit, talk and listen to music. And drink water.. but that is irrelevant.
We didn't smoke, drink alcohol, do drugs nor do other inappropriate or illegal things. It wasn't even late! It was 9 pm for heaven's sake! If it was after 11 pm, I'd understand but no..
So you tell me.. Where are teenagers supposed to go? We can't hang around parks because people will naturally think we're doing something bad. If we're at home (together), our parents might be annoyed at us or we simply want some privacy, so we prefer being alone. We can't (or don't want to in my case) go to clubs. I guess we could sit in a cafe and drink fizzy drinks but it's honestly no fun. You just spend money on something you didn't even need and you're surrounded by people who listen to your bursts of laughter. So yeah, we go to the park and talk. And just because we are female we don't always talk about how hot is that guy from that movie or trash and gossip about teachers. For example, that night we were talking about these topics:
1. Why is the Croatian tram and bus service so expensive?
2. Why is the mayor of our city such an idiot?
3. High school stuff (we were sharing experiences from our first week of highschool)
4. Marriage equality
5. Fanfiction, Hp.. xD
etc
Yes, we are bloody teenagers and according to adults, we're all bloody same. And yes I started loving the word 'Bloody'. Too much Harry Potter... Oh wait, there's never too much of HP! :D
I'm done rambling. ^^ Thanks for reading.
