Kids have different problems these days

^ That is exactly how I feel. I'm 14 and honestly I couldn't care less about dating at this point. Anyway with fun substance and the rest of the internet I don't have time for dating

I am almost 15 and consider myself asexual until further notice. basically unless I tell you otherwise assume I have no boyfriend/girlfriend

Y'all are so young. When I was that age I was exploring woods and walking around the lake. I didn't even have a phone yet.

When my dad was 12 he rode his bike 80km to the beach with his friend and back with out telling their parents

I wish we had that kind of freedom nowadays.

I'm 14 and not allowed to go to the shop on the bus which is 10 mins from my house unless I'm meeting a friend there and have my phone on me and tell my parent exactly where I'm going and when I'll be back

At least your parents care.

My parents do let me catch buses (as long as they know where I'm going) but I wish i grew up in the 70s-80s where everyone was so laid back and everyone talked to everyone. And don't even get me started on the awesome music

Adults these days are so paranoid about us getting abducted or something. The only reason we stay inside so much is because they make us. Exploring a lake or a forest is basically my dream, but do they let us out of the house? NOOOPE.
Don't blame the teens. Blame the parents.
