Teenagers and Movies

My friends invited me to the movies last night and I was so excited because I hadn't gone out with them in a long time. They had already decided to see the movie The Happening. I am not big on scary movies, but figured it would be alright. They knew I was a little nervous when we got there so of course we were kidding around about it.

As we were walking down the hall to go to the movie these workers kept running past us to another movie theater. We kept asking what was going on, but they just kept running past us. Naturally, we stopped and kept watching and wondering. One of the girl workers finally confessed that there was a couple in a theater doing their thing. She said that the girl looked to be 15 - 16 and she didn't have a top on. We were appalled.

One of my friends has a 15 year old daughter so she said "I am going down there to see if I know her." So off we go! We walk in to this movie and sure enough the girl was telling the truth although the girl did have a shirt on. She got off the boy when she saw us and we just walked back out.

When we left our movie we ran in to some of the workers and they told us that the couple had left mad because everybody kept coming in there.

I was shocked! I have learned that I will never let my children go to the movies alone. It just amazes me what kids do now a days. I can't imagine having enough nerve to do things like this.
