I understand your dilemma and the fact that you cannot get into most clubs sucks. You are also very right in pointing out that it is maturity, not age that should matter. Unfortunately, however, our society, as a whole, does not agree with that. It deems that you are not an adult until you are 18 and does not take into consideration your maturity. That is why the media is jumping all over this, because ravers are getting younger and younger.
PS - I also went to the loft party. I never said I was immune to the bust (3 times), I try to choose my battles wisely. :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2000 2:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: (313) Online petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/plur/p etition.html alright i really would like to not get into this again but i guess i will...i'm a 17 yr old white female from the suburbs sorry i happen to love music...and sorry i can't get into clubs like having to listen to Adam Beyer on the radio and not being able to be at Motor was not fun or staying home for Carl Cox or any of those other amazing djs that I love just because I guess when I'm 18 something will click over night and make me more mature or whatever. I know most of my friends who are under 18 can spit out the whole history of whatever genre they like and truly respect the whole idea of the music and parties more than that 21 yr old sittin in the corner rubbing vicks all over them saying how cool the music sounds while rolling. Its more about maturity than an age. The reason why My friends and I continue going to raves and not clubs some nights to see certain djs is the fact we just aren't allowed but the 21 yr old who slips ghb into girls drinks is acceptable. The news here is totally making things seem what they are not. Yes alot of kids do go for drugs but alot of adults to also. If I had to sit around at a high school house party I would probably do an insane amount of drugs but once I go to a rave or actually get into a club I just don't see the need to do drugs. Not all people under the age of 18 do drugs when they attend parties and I guess I'm just sick of everyone saying I'm not welcome because of my age. Yes I missed a bust free night at science but you also missed a bust free loft party minus the rave bs like glowstix and shht and another party that was also bust free. I don't understand why age upsets so many people. Age ain't nothin but a number -stacey In a message dated 05/09/2000 12:20:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << Parents need to know where their 13-17 yr. olds are at night because they have no business being at raves and getting fucked up.
