I can’t stand that they imply that at 18 you are either out clubbing and drinking all the time or have to be a stay at home bore like Izzy. My daughter has just turned 18 and isn’t interested in drinking at all.This week with her friends she has gone on several drives (in her own car), gone to Macdonalds, a local cafe, the gym, a morning run, gone on a hike, had a board game night, hung out at their houses, studied for upcoming exams at the library as well as working a part time job where she has made great friends. Nothing extreme or exciting but just normal young adult life. I just can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want this for your child.[QUOTE="Abbvay, post: 19211016, member:
Sarah likes to think that going out means going to a nightclub and getting drunk and the only alternative is staying in alone. Most people manage to do many activities that are neither of these. Isabelle does nothing and doesn't even show an interest in doing anything. Any friends she has had in the past will have a different life that she just doesn't fit into. They have other friends that actually put effort into talking to them and have no need to wait around for Isabelle to grow up.

When we were students my friends and I didn’t go clubbing or have the finances to do that because living away isn’t cheap even with support.
We used to go to the ice cream parlour on the beachfront and cycle there and as you said we liked to do the walking trails and in the city we loved a good charity shop trip we found some amazing clothes I still have a vintage jacket that everyone loves, bowling and the cinema were also popular and the arcade was also fun in a group.
Why would lazy think that only clubbing is fun
