i was honestly shocked

so i was with two of my friends tonight and we were trying to think of something to do. after thinking of the obvious things (movie, mall, sex store, etc.) one of us came up with the idea to go skating. i haven't been skating in almost two years and used to be really good at it so we started texting other friends to see if anyone wanted to come... long story short on that, apparently skate city really isn't cool anymore because we were the 3 that went in and the 3 that left.

when we got there we thought we arrived on a good night because there were like 5 cars in the parking lot. usually when it's busy the lot is filled. we get in line to pay (it was freakin' $6 a person. i remember when it was $2) and were surprised when we walked through the doors because the place was full of people. i thought to myself, why the hell are there so many little kids in here (by little i mean like 12-13) and then i realized it... school just started. i bet anything we came on the night of one of the middle school skate parties.
turns out i was right. there were two schools having their bash.

when we rented our skates i was a little paranoid because i was never able to skate right on the 4 wheel roller skates. you know, the ones that look like this:
i always skated on roller blades, but skate city is cheap and don't rent out roller blades and i outgrew mine when i was like 14.
we got out on the rink and i tried to fit in with the youngsters and dance with the rap music but i realized some things pretty quickly...
1. i'm like 6-8 years older than all of them
2. i'm white and can't dance
3. i couldn't skate right in those cheap-ass rentals

i have problems with migraines and stuff so after a while i was having a hard time staying on the rink but john and lu kept skating. i found it more fun to just stand on the side and people watch. maybe catch a glimpse of the kids that are, for the most part, right behind me in age. while watching i had an awakening that was amusing, but very shocking...

these kids are fucking whores.

i mean, i hear the stories of middle schoolers giving/receiving blow jobs and drinking and stuff. not to mention i was in middle school once, but it has gone farther since i was in that age bracket. these kids are gathering at certain parts of the rink and booty quaking, riding the walls (in a very sexual way), humping the walls, touching themselves, dropping to the ground and humping the floor, randomly making out with different people, randomly humping different people... basically the things that you see adults doing in night clubs, these 12 year old kids were doing it at skate city.
there was this group of kids that would gather at one part of the rink every 10 minutes, or so, and do exactly what is described above. this one boy who barely looked 12 kept going to random girls and grabbing their ass, touching their tits, kissing their neck and shoulders, pinning them in a corner and humping them, etc... the best part was that each time i saw him do it, it was with a different girl. john came and watched for a little while and we counted 4 different girls, not to mention the 2 he did it to before i had company.

i don't know about anyone else but where my mind lives that's called inappropriate public behavior. the fact that these kids were in middle school just makes it worse. i would expect that from high schoolers, but middle schoolers?!
i remember going to the skate city parties when i was in middle school and back then there were actually school officials at the parties. they put the fear into us that if we did something stupid we would not only be kicked out of skate city but they would call our parents, they'd take our name, and we would also get suspended from school. there were a couple kids that tested the threats and when we didn't see them for the next 2-3 days, no one pulled anything at the school events.
excluding the 3 of us, there were maybe 4 other adults in there. none of them were teachers or assistant principals. they were older siblings or parents. i guessed there were maybe 150-200 kids in there with no adult supervision. half of the employees on duty looked like they were under 18, too.

it's just crazy. the 3 of us kept saying to each other, "what the fuck? why was no one like this when we were in middle school? these kids are whores and they're only 12-13!"
in addition to the hump crazy skaters, there were 3 pregnant girls... pregnant 7th graders. wow. there was one girl that got pregnant when i was in middle school (out of all 3 years). now there are 3, not counting any others that decided not to go to skate city or any that haven't gotten pregnant yet. the way i saw the kids acting out on the rink i'm shocked there weren't 10 pregnant girls standing around.

is this really what our youth is going to, people? 12 year olds should be going to skate city to actually skate and have fun. they shouldn't be going to wait until the lights are down and the music is bumping so they can make out and have dry sex on the rink in front of other people.

i'm by no means prude or naive. if you knew me in person, i am very far from it... but this is disgusting and it has really opened my eyes. no wonder our youth has so many problems. there is no room to actually be a kid. i guess times really have changed. it's sad that they change so quickly.
just think... i left middle school just 6 years ago. do things go to hell in a hand basket that quickly?









and i hit a bunny rabbit on the way to the rink. john jumped out of the car, ran after it, and said i didn't kill it. he thinks i just bumped its ears but it still scared me and i still started crying.

Oh yes sounds like Ohio. Our skating ring always was in the news for drug trafficking and sex trafficking

I think that was the only blog I have read from you that didn't mention Trent or NIN.

When I was in 7th grade, which was like 4 years ago I was invited to a Hallowe'en party by my friend at my old elementary school. The dance was held in the back room of a church which is right beside the school.

Anyway I was expecting people to be wearing costumes and whatnot but I found ONE person out of 300 kids wearing a costume. Guys wore their everyday clothing and the girls were wearing something out of a rap video. The ages ranged from 10-13. All were grinding, "Xing" where the guy and girl look as though they're having sex, but they actually had clothes on and their legs are in an X-shape. Basically everything you described in your blog. I was so shocked. I was 12, and the other 12-year-olds at my then elementary school were decent people, but the ones I left only a year ago were so slutty. My best friend from the 2nd grade was so whoreish. They were in an effing church, yo! There were teachers and they didn't do shit.
