13-year-old girl severely burned while imitating TikTok video

Digger · Admin

And this, people, is why thirteen year olds can't be trusted not to do daft stupid dangerous things because their frontal lobe isn't fully developed and they know jack shit about life at that age.

If I had a kid again I'd ban all use of social media and moronic things like Tik Tok until they were 18. They all see and hear and experience way too many adult things too soon in their lives. They need supervision on the internet, they really do.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

The worst we had was checking our kids were not watching X rated films.

To be fair, I did some pretty stupid things without tik tok.

From being 16 I used to hitch everywhere, from one end of the country to the other, it didn't cross my mind to get a train.

Foreign Hedge porn (with plenty of huge 'bushes') was an unbelievable horror when I was a child (worth fighting for between kids) and punishable by death (or sent to bed early for two nights after tea)!

The innocence of youth.

I never hitched on my own but did with others. In those days it seemed safer, or was it?

I have no idea....I go off colour and whether it has a roof or not.

Back in the day anything that had wheels and could get me to my destination (and the driver didn't look like Norman Bates) would have done.

I always tried to hitch with a mate...unfortunately me and my best friend at the time were always falling out, so I did a few trips on my own....I think I was lucky, I was always safe.

I played with fire, literally. Lucky we never burned anything but a few fingers.

Did a lot of things in cars, mixed with alcohol at rates of speed that were insane.

I was a lunatic.

Did you know that the word for crazy in Norway is Texas.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

I didn't know that... it's such a learning curve logging into here sometimes.

I think we all did stupid things when we were young, but drinking and driving is a big NO. But then I didn't learn to drive till I was more mature and I have always been aware of the damage you can do, not only to yourself, more importantly to others.

The main thing is, hopefully we all learn by our mistakes.

When I learned to drive, open containers of alcohol were legal in Texas. As long as you were 18, you could drive with a beer on the dashboard and take a sip in front of a cop. Doesn't mean they might not pull you over if they thought you were underage or drunk, but drinking and driving was legal and the "roadie" was pretty common. Even after the law changed, folks still continued the practice, but more discretly.

My kids are amazed that we used to buy beer, and drive around all night cruising while drinking it when we were in high school.

We also had crazy drink specials like 3 for 1 during certain times of the day or week. Or quarter beer night. Imagine a few hundred 18 -21 year olds, drinking beer at a bar for a quarter a piece, then staggering off to cars at 2 am.

My generation literally was the reason the drinking age was raised and DWI laws were changed. We were killing ourselves and everyone else around us.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

I always thought you had to be 21 or older to buy booze in the US.
Here it's 18 in bars, clubs etc ...to purchase in a shop it's 20.

We have some daft 2 for 1 offers, usually in clubs. But I think the European holiday isles are the most irresponsible. Happy hours that go on all night, free drinks for females, to attract the men in, then they wonder why fights start.

I honestly don't know whether my generation, my sons generation, or now my grandsons generation drank the most.....I was a teen in the swinging 60's, and I think we take some beating.

Bloody hell MD!

There must have been a shitload of deaths with pissed up teens driving all over the place! :surprise:

Then again...
