Those nights are fun for younger teens and are generally safe. I would allow her to go but be home by a reasonable hour.

Thumbs up Teen Club

Defiently let her go, shes not doing anything there she wouldn't be doing normally. I know when I was 14 people use to drink/smoke weed before going to these clubs.

So STRAIGHT UP im telling you right now, she knows all about people who smoke weed/drinking so don't think your protecting her from that. So let her go, nothing will go on that isn't going on already.

Situation is totally different if shes going to a club @ 14 with 33 year olds in the mix. 13-17? I know people at 16 who are pulling in hits of acid and cocaine (thats the most extreme, they don't usually go to these clubs couse lets be honest its much funner hanging out at a place WITHOUT SUPERVISION OR ANY ADULTS).

I went to it once, was lame. What am I going to say? Yah I'll take a coke shaken? Pfh, I would just go to someone's house and drink.

If your child really wanted to go do drugs/drink/makeout she can EASILY DO ALL OF THAT in one of her friends basements (trust me theres always 1 parent out of all the friends that will allow it).

The main point of going to these clubs is basically just to say 'clubbing'. But once you hit 15 that goes down-hill fast. Everyone will end up going to house parties.

A side effect of not letting her go is basically just showing how lame she'll look infront of her friends. Personally I don't give a f### what other people think about me (hell im never going to see these people in highschool again when I graduate after next year). So she'll end up making up being 'lame' in some other way by doing something worse then going 'child clubbing (LOL)'.

Just let her go.

Sorry, gotta say "no" on that one. Too many opportunities for trouble. Be mean. You just never know about those places. Often I think that older men go there to find younger girls.

Most teen nights that I am aware of do not let older folks in the door.

Yep ... real important to keep those kids cocooned and insulated from the real world for as long as possible

I don't know. Here in Florida, there was a shooting at a teen club, there have been several, actually. I think that teens can have fun, but I think that the teen clubs around here are places to get into trouble. Teens would be better off going to a movie, out for pizza, working out at the health club, lots of other activities. There is plenty of time to go to clubs when you are older. Just my thoughts on the matter.

As for the older men, I meant guys that are like 19/20, they let those guys in to the teen clubs, and many of them look for the younger girls.

Am I overreacting? Should I let her go and have fun or should I keep it safe and follow my old fashion instincts and not let her go?
I am a 15 year old and i somewhat know what you are gowing through. You need to understand though without letting us go and letting us make our own mistakes and letting us learn then we are going to most likly end up doing it our own way and it will probably be worse. I am not saying let your daughter go, i know that times are MUCH worse now that 25 years ago. If you trust your daughter and if she is mature and responsisble enought i think she should be able to go, set limits for her thow,,a curfue or something but let her know that in any instant she feels uncomfortable that it is ok to call you with out you over reacting,i hope things work out

mothers say no only because they don't want us to get hurt so don't play that card..plus at your age you think you know everything but you don't..my friend went into the bathroom one time and she never walked out..their was one small window that wasn't cracked or broken or anything..i was outside that door tho whole time..nobody went in and nobody came out..a trace of blood was found by the window, this was in a small restaurant in public with lot's of people..look up some cases on google and open up your mind
