No it isn't just you. There is the New Era but I don't know what they have. I'm too old to be a teenager and my kids are only just getting there. They tend to go bowling or cinema or do their own thing.

I think it must be the same for most areas, it's the same in Doncaster

l was lucky & used to go pubbin/ clubbing when l was 13. l looked old then, & young now- guess l'm blessed!
Can't you get an i-d card with your age on Luke, must be good on the buses though?
It's always a hard time for teenagers, l agree youth clubs are a good bet, at least you'll be dry.
P.S. Accy was like a metropolis compared with Ossy when l was growing up.

luke orourke 1988 · 02-03-2005, 14:49

well im only 16 anyway, nearley 17. so it won't make a diffrence really much.

Oh come on now you lot, Make an effort and get out a little more. We grew up on the streets and we where never bored. At weekends we went to the flixs, then out and about all over the place, we had to make our own fun. We would go walking over the hills and go as far as we could get and still be safe come back before it got dark. We would go swimming in Nelsons Lodge or in the ponds we couldn’t always afford the Baths, plus you had more chance of catching something in accy baths. We went fishing a lot. Bike riding was popular (if you could nick one that is) “For a long time Fred was the only guy to have one that wasn’t.” My point is we didn’t have money to spare, we didn’t have play stations are anything like that we just got out and got on with it. Take a look at threads like “The Deck” and what were you made to do as a Kid. They might give you an idea of what it was like for us. I know things are different to day, but believe me if you make the effort and open your mind up a little, there loads of opportunities out there for good clean entertainment.

I remember being bored as a youngster too though, but I also remember going to Blackburn "Golden Palms" and a youth club, and going for walks up the Coppice, walking to Huncoat and then back again with my friend who lived there. Doing our own "talent shows" - probably absolutely awful but we enjoyed it.

Think its also the fact that teens get bored easier today and are to spoilt . Up until 16 i spent most my time playing footy or cycling all over the place
