do you enjoy hanging with friends during weekends?right now, most teenagers now are always having a night out. they went out with friends, drinking, eating or even watching movies together late at night. but usually right now their night out are usually night bars where they can drink, dance and meet people. do you allow your kids,sisters,brothers to go out late at night? do you also do this things?

I enjoy spending time with my friends. I would like to do it more often but my schedule and usually everyone else's is busy and different. I'm glad that people are able to hang out with their friends. I don't go to bars or stay out late for that mattter. Lol, I feel like I'm getting old.:) No when I was younger I didn't go to bars or clubs either. I wouldn't let my daughter go to places like that either. She would be able to stay out to a reasonable hour, but I would have to know who, what,when and where.

We love our children and should do our best to teach them how to protect themselves. We want to be close to them and be their friends as well but we need to be good parents and friends to them. I agree that trust is very important and that teaching them this will draw them closer to us especially in the long run. They will come to appreciate our efforts when they have a family of their own.

such a great parent. me too if ever i will have children in the near future i need to know where they are, who are they with. and i will just allow them if they have a valid reason and we established trust within each other. since if kids learn what trust should be they will know what their limitations are.

I grew up in province wherein night-outs are not common. That is the reason why I am not used to hang-out. Although I lived in the city when I was already working, I haven't tried this weekly nigh-out, bar-hopping and others. Maybe, I would like to impose this too to my kids, even them I would not allow them to have the said night-out regularly but when needed or when there is occassion, I will allowed them too.

wow!great parent. you should do so if you think it would be their best. because parents will not do anything to harm their own children. i already tried night out after i graduated college though and its because its my supervisor's birthday that i attended it. it nice though but not recommended for young children.

Thanks for that karyl. Yes it is not recommended for our kids to have night-out because of the rampant violence especially in the city. You are right that night-outs should not be recommended for kids but as parent, I will not prohibit my kids. I will still allow them, as reward only for good deeds like having good grades to keep them motivated..

yes i agree too that they can be given as a reward but we should know who they are with and where they are going to. we should trust them too if they are a good children.

I also experienced having some night out with friends but I guess I am already on the right age that time because I am already working that time, and we just go out usually on Friday nights after work and I make sure that my parents know where I am and who are with me... and also we don't usually go to bars for drink, my friends and I just go to some restaurant and get some food trip! Now, if I already have a kid of my own, I think I will not encourage him/her for being out at late night for I don't feel it as a safe thing to do these days... not unless they are already in the right age and that they will also let me know their whereabouts...

hello, Well who doesn't enjoy hanging out with friends in the weekend. I enjoy hanging out with them any time of the week or day. Its just so good to have friends with me all the time. I had a lot of night out with my friends. They are so awesome. We eat,drink,play and watch movies. Its so good to have a night out with friends. You have to have a night out every month. Its just awesome. I think you should enjoy your teenage life. Its should be fun. Otherwise you wil regret it your whole life.

i respect your opinion about this and i also agree that one should enjoy teenage life because we should have good memories about our teenage life. but as a different people, we have different perspective on how to enjoy each others teenage life. even though others and also me don't go hang out usually at night we do still enjoy our teenage life as to what we think that would makes us happy. thanks for the response and happy mylotting.

I think you will only do such things depending on your friends. Because as for me, my friends doesn't enjoy going to bars in order to drink and dance. We actually like lying together in the grasses of the park and staring at the starry sky...we can talk to every topic that we have in mind for the whole night that to the ears of other people will be nonsense...

I used to hang out with my friends this way but that was way back in college. Lately, I find it more interesting to have chitchat with friends over a cup of coffee or eating something at home. I think there is more communication. I think I will allow my kids in the future but there will be limitations given.

great. that would be a good decision for a parent. we should give limitations to them and we should emphasize trust in them.

I grew up in a conservative family and I spent my high school in a boarding school so I never got the hang of all this things other teenagers enjoy or do. My night outs consists of staying over at a friends house playing video games or in an internet cafe with friends still playing video games. There were times where I get invited to barhopping and similar stuff but I usually decline because I don't drink and I am a very shy person. I know that when I become a parent someday I will be strict regarding this but I will definitely allow them to experience this only more in a controlled way. I would have to grow them in a way where they learn to value trust so that they would know that I trust them when I allow them to go to events like these.

I always do that. drink eat dance and party all night.You know what i got even arrived home at 5:am in the morning.However din't judge me because Even if I'm like that i still take care with myself...I still manage to act properly snd i don't do things which can lessen my morality. For me it's just a matter of self discipline and the personality of the person....
