Roundrobin I will say that growing up in 2010 is a lot different then how it was when I was your age in 1994. I don't know if you ever seen that movie KIDS but in my neighborhood we grew up and hung in packs and groups of 40 and 50 of us at a time just like that. Most of us all grew up together and knew each other and our families from grade school all the way past high school. We all kind of started out partying at young ages and our younger siblings as they got older they were pretty much conditioned to do the same as they looked up to us.
We hung out in the streets a lot in apartment parking garages, had what we called "kickbacks" at peoples house where a bunch of us would just get together and hang out and drink, smoke a little weed or whatever your drug of choice was, skateboarded and listened to music. The internet wasn't really around back then and our main source of communication was via pagers. So we socialized more in person instead of online via facebook or constant text. It wasn't uncommon for say an 18 year old chick friend of ours bringing her 14 or 15 year old sister too a kickback because she was in charge of her for the night and some guy would get together with her. We were all friends and knew of each other and pretty much lived life in the fastlane. When I think back to around those years when I was growing up from age 13 to about age 23 none of us where ever into what you call real serious relationships. The thing to do during the early 90's was what we called "scamming". Where your goal for the night was too hook up with somebody you never got with before and either have sex or bump and grind or something. If we couldn't get with somebody we haven't gotten with before we would end up "scamming" with somebody we already did with before and the night would be considered a failure.
Believe me the times were so different in the early 90's then it is today when I think about some of the situations I have been in I think WOW that really happened. One time when I was 21 I showed up at my friends apartment and he was hanging out at some older chicks apartment upstairs with a couple of buddies and I was like what's crackin? He was like we are running a train on these drunk bitches right now? I was surprised because just a few nights earlier we were hanging with the same chicks and they were acting all stuck up like they would never get with any of us cause they were 25 and shit and we were just "little boys that drink 40's". So naturally I wanted some of that action. So for about three hours we each took our turns tag teaming these two drunk chicks going from one room hitting that, then tagging a friend in, so you can take a break to refuel, then getting tagged in to go into the other chicks room. None of us dudes and those chicks spoke about that night it was just one of those wild nights that could only happen just that once.
When I talk to the kids today it is all about sexting and updating their facebook status and don't get caught doing shit that will end up on youtube. Back then you didn't have to worry about getting caught on a camera phone. We had disposable cameras and photoshops blacked out pictures of nudity back then. One thing that hasn't changed today that used to happen a lot back then was getting drunk at a bar and hooking up with some chick from inside in the bar and taking her into the back alley.
