I was a nice daughter lol. Good grades, didn't go out because I wasn't allowed to and no one did...I could only go to birthday parties and Halloween parties. The thing is, we could drink AND buy alcohol at any age ( go France!). Nothing was prohibited. Not even nudity, really. So we didn't have to go crazy since most things were allowed. I celebrated my 17th birthday at a brasserie (bar and restaurant) and we each had a beer and no one batted an eye. Sex was also not a taboo and no one had the sex or was really dating. The only girls that were dating were the ones that were failing school.
When I started college and had my own place, I had a ton of one night stands and FWB of all ages (ok 33 was the max). I didn't want a boyfriend until I met XH.
I was pretty tame. No sneaking out or partying. I made good grades, never cut class, and went where I said I was going to go when I was going to go there.
However, I had a big mouth and a stubborn streak. If I got grounded, it was because I talked back or argued..
I was fairly good in school, but was extremely shy so I didn't have a lot of friends. But some of those I hung out with likes the bad boys so I hung out with some bad boys. The worst was when I was a senior and we went to a party that some 30 something guys were having (this was only a few weeks after I turned 17) and I got so wasted I was laying on their kitchen floor. They kicked us out and we went to some guy's house in the projects. He tried to get in my pants, literally, and I truly believe he would have raped me had my friend and the other guy, who were on the other couch, not woken up. Anyway, he wouldn't let us leave or call our parents so we had no choice but to spend the night. We didn't get in touch with our parents until the next morning. They were pissed. Apparently they had spent the entire night looking for us, and even made it to the party. Worst part was, a girl in our class had gone missing a few weeks earlier from the same general area and was found dead. Now that I have 2 daughters myself, it sure puts things into perspective!
Other than that, I was mean to my sister and beat her up a lot. I also talked back to my parents. A lot. And I wonder where DD1 gets her attitude!
dated the bad boys, but i never drank or did drugs as a teen. i pretty much toed the line because i was scared my dad would kick me out and i liked my standard of living.
i partied it up in college but never enough to get in trouble because i was scared of the consequences and ramifications on my future job employment and military career
