The evolve wing was awesome…and so was the car, really…simpler times… On topic, it is rather alarming what level kids take it to these days. I mean the sheer lack or respect is what kills me… I was running a tennis program for some kids last year, and we had a break in between some match play. I got to talking to a few of them. One conversation led to another, and eventually the one girl (17 years old) tells me flat out while laughing that not long after she got her license, she hit someone else’s car and left the scene. Now I know this happens every day, but this kid was like laughing about it and proud that she got away with it. To say it blew my mind and seriously pissed me off would be extreme understatements. I gave her a pretty good lashing, pretty much comparing her to the scum of the earth for doing something like that. She cert. wasn’t laughing by the time I was done. In fact, I don’t think her and I have really spoken much at all since. I guess that’s a good thing, because while what I said to her might not have registered fully, it certinaly made some impact on her… ---

I’m pretty sure some guy already made this happen that night for her… Also, have you seen the movie Project-X? These kids don’t have to look too hard when looking for inspiration on what to do when mom and dad go out of town. Honestly, I blame the parents for not taking more action to prevent this from happening. Do you not have friends to watch the house? You have a 17 year old girl who at this point in her life wants nothing more than to be the cool kid and impress her friends. I blame the mother here who is now crying for help. Get it together lady and realize you screwed up her by leaving your kid home alone without thinking about what could happen. ---

1. Had I done something like this, I would not be typing this today. 2. Wish I knew about this party. Drawbacks of not being on FB. 3. Looks like Hamburg is getting out of control. Glad I’m leaving. ---

Holy crap, haha. The story was written to just keep getting better and better. Needless to say, we partied at our friend’s parents house but never destroyed anything. I mean the only thing that ever went missing was our friend’s older sister’s graduation picture. 🤣 Regardless, reason #748 I never had a party at my parent’s house. ---

Just another weekend in hamburg as a teenager, as far as I’m concerned I mean really, who hasn’t had sex in a random bed at a party? Or thrown outdoor furniture into a fire? Or stolen liquor from adults? Or torched a stolen car? Ok so maybe not the last one… ---

Lots of blame to go around. Mom for thinking her little 17 year old angel would never do something like this. Hamburg cops for letting a bunch of obviously drunk underage kids just take off. And definitely the kids with no concept of respect. Throwing furniture in the fire? Stealing a car and torching it? It scares me when I think about this current “the only person who is important is me” generation getting into the real world. Project X was a hilarious movie though. ---

You blame the mother? The daughter is 17 and by this age should know the difference from right, wrong and what constitutes decency. I don’t think if the mother had felt she couldn’t leave the daughter, she wouldn’t. It comes down to the daughters responsibility, she fucked up, plain and simple. From the time I was 11 or so, I was staying home along. At no point in those upcoming years would I have ever thought to do this to my own or do this to anyone’s house! ---

Disagree, If there was any sort of discipline, this girl wouldn’t have even dreamt this scheme up. I know things escalated from have a few friends over to a full blown movie scene, but come on. The daughter is a twat for doing it, and like I said, if she were my kid she’d be in a world of hurt. From the time we are little we learn the stove is hot and not to touch it. Well the same concept applies If she knew her parents would throttle her into the next year, she probably would have thought twice. ---

Hmmmm… I have always had respect for my parents and their things and I came from a nice neighborhood in Hamburg. My neighbor who I would say had the same values and upbringing as me invited a few friends over for a “party” while her parents were out of town. More and more people started showing up and it got completely out of control. She actually ended up calling the cops herself after a couple guys started fighting and getting blood all over the place. She never intended or made the choice for it to happen. People just started calling more and more people. This was in the days before facebook and texting and I was one of maybe 20 kids that had a cell phone. It was still able to get out of hand then and I imagine that it would be 100% impossible to stop the ball rolling today. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/back-in-my-day/231375.md?page=2)
