- Is there enough for teenagers in your area? -

[Pulchritudinous]

Where you live, is there any leisure facilities, parks, or basically anything decent to do in these holidays?

We have a park with tennis courts and stuff but the teenagers arn't welcome there, and lots of parents come there with small children, so it's slowly become a park just for the young kids, which I was fine with, until the other park that I always used to go to, turned into a kids park too, if your over 12 years old your not allowed in, and the police kick teenagers out.

Probably because people persume all teengers are 'up to no good'.

If you want to go to the cinema, you have to get the bus, and we don't have a leisure centre, and the youth clubs don't run in the holidays.

And yet the government want teenagers 'off the streets', well they should give us somewhere to go!

[.Lynn]

Wow, thats pretty rough.

I dont really know if there is enough for teens. They are building something though

[lauralol]

Yeah there isnt much to do here, I live by the beach so there's probably more than other areas. Atm the fair is here which I cant go to because of a certain embarassing incident :rolleyes: and there's erm the beach.. and the arcades.. and the park and town. Oh and if you're always told not to hang round on the street, but how can you not when there's nowhere else to go?

I wish I lived near the beach.
I would like to have a youth club which is open all day, that would be cool.

Around my area, Not alot todo, We have a green thats ok, I think they are planning on building somthing but i dont think they do, Some of the older people around my area made a foot ball goal about 3years ago and our 2 bike jumps have died down LOADs, I made a small jump but it was not that good, I might make a few more, They used to be a bus comming to us but now its closed dew to no1 going on it. Kinda annoying now, I want to be able to go out and enjoy my self and know i can get home without having to drag my mum/dad to come and get me, I dont think they is a bus stop near us :(

Holiday where exactly?

[0verRide]

North London, although i dont think many people would be coming

[Eamonn]

its rubbish where i live we only have swimming pools which are to trampy to go to so i go to virgin active one where you have to be a gym member but its a while away so i only go when my parents and my sister an none of my mates go , theres cinemas but ive seen all the films like literally with my ugc monthly card thing , bowling but ive played so much it gets boring

[.Adorable]

Hmm, well there are a few activities to do over the Holidays in my area but not much. Everything that you want to do costs far to much or you have to travel a far distance. All the Parks and things are full of Chavs who are drinking Alcohol and if you go on the Park they always start an arguement so it's best not to go near them. Most of the time me and my friends talk online because there isn't much to do when we go out we just have to walk the streets because of boredom.

[Victimized]

Not in my town, no coz there is only a park with 2 swings. But in my area there is coz in the next town (about 1 mile away) there is a skatepark, swimming pool, tennis courts, about 7 parks etc. And only a bus ride away is the city centre which has a massive indoor skatepark and loads of cool shops. Only problem is how expensive bus fare is. The city centre is only about 5 miles away and it costs £2.50, i get charged an adult fare!

I have a youth venue called ''The Shore'' it's next to the River Tay.
Hence it's name.
It's open on Thursdays and Saturdays
Thursdays 6:30pm- 8:30pm
Saturdays 2pm - 5pm.
It's open on the holidays and has set programmes.
You sign up for the activities and you go rock climbing and gorge walking and skiing and all the outdoor thigns while also having indoor things such as painting DJing etc.
It's has programmes set for Chirstmas holidays and October Holidays and Easter Holidays.
We have a leisure centre called ''Olympia'' it has a gym and swimming pool and a returant.
We have Odeon and UCG cinema's and a lot of food courts.
There is also a Mega-Bowl and Zapzone. For bowling and laser tag.
We have a big town centre too and a lot of tourist attractions.
E.g The Discorvery Quay.

In my town there are some things to do but once you have done them all then you get bored easily.

[Fingerboots]

Um, most people who live in my town hate it and want to get away because it's really boring but thinking about it, there's quite a bit to do.. just most requires money.

Fairs/circus' are always come and go.
Town
Link centre (ice-skating, swimming, arcade place, sports etc)
Oasis (huge swimming pool & sports area)
Lots of parks
Skating/biking/rowing/horse-riding places
Clubs


Me and my friends usually just make it fun if we have no money or whatever, go to peoples house and just muck 'round or at the park. xD Doesn't take much for us to be entertained :p

[Janumz]

Naw.. theres not much round here..
To go to the cinema you have to get 2 buses just to get there.. To get to town you have to go on a bus.. There's 3 parks.. but 2 of them are only for people under 11.. the other you're allowed in at any age but its just boring there.. Theres a leisure centre.. for like, swimming, and a gym.. and theres a youth club but that's only on for 1 week of the holidays.. so yeah, it's pretty boring round here too.

[Fingerboots]

Aww, thats unlucky about your area though Pulch like not allowed in parks and stuff because teenages 'cause trouble'. Where else are you meant to go?

[Craig]

I dislike being branded as a thug.

[Dan Williamson]

Nothing For Us To Do, Were Not Allowed In Youth Centres Unless You Wanna Get Stabbed By Chavs, So We Hang Where Chavs Don't like On church Or Graveyard, The One Place We're Not Bothered.

[Garycia]

It's the dumb teenage thugs that make it that way, they cause all teenagers to be seen upon as trouble makers.
