Re: Festive Drinking.
This sort of thing happens all the time unfortunately. Older kids/adults are comandereed into buying them booze. Kids stand outside most off licences begging even on occasion threatening people to go in the shop to buy them booze. As for clothing you find a shop that sells 'girls' clothes rather than young adults, it's not easy. Parents are roped into buying fashion gear because there are few sensible clothes to be had.
When my daughter was 11 she went out 'on the front' she was gone no longer than an hour. She didn't walk in the door she fell in vomiting everywhere & wetting herself it emerged that some older kids were on the corner drinking alcohol which they shared with her. She had drunk a bottle of white lightning and a can of extra strong lager! I wont repeat on a family forum what I said to her.
