Kids just wanna have fun!

While I have been here I have noticed something about the kids and what they do. One thing that I find very interesting is that kids in small towns tend to hang out around the plaza a lot. Girls in one group walking and talking clockwise around the plaza and boys in another group walking the other direction. If a girl holds a boy's eye contact for a length of time, the boy sends someone else over to talk to him. Very strange. Is that how you pick up a boy or girl?? Through another person?


In the towns, boys and girls can only go out with each other if they have a chaperone; usually an older sibling who eventually wanders off about mid date. I wonder if they tell the parents that they left them alone??


In the cities, the kids do a lot of things like we do here. They go to amusement parks, like 6 Flags in México, D.F.


They text each other and chat on the internet.



They hang out at cafés.


Or they hang out near the plaza downtown, too. Usually in groups.


They also go clubbing. Remember there is no legal drinking age in México so kids can go out and have a good time. They go to clubs or discotecas to hang out and dance. I mean they dance. Not like here, where there is music playing and people stand around the edges of the dance floor until the night is almost over and then they dance. I mean they dance the whole time!!




Do you like to dance? Would you go to a discoteca? The music is extremely loud and it is very crowded. Not my thing, but I thought that you would be interested.


A couple of other interesting facts that I discovered. Kids living in the Yucatan will take trips to Cuba for fun since it isn't that far away. We can't do that here. Trips to Cuba are off limits.


Also, watch out for those boys. They have a weird way of thinking about girls. See, they will get a novia, girlfriend, and they will guard her honor, treasure her and care for her. They get very jealous of other guys being around her. But at the same time that they are dating this "good" girl they are still chasing and persuing other girls at the discoteca, over the phone or on the internet.


What do you think of that??

  4. I think that if the girl wants to talk to another guy or be around other guys then they should be able to because the guys can if they want to. Its not fair if the guys can chase and pursue other girls but the girls can't.

  7. I definatly would go to the discoteca! It sounds like fun! But i disagree with the guys being able to chase and pursue other girls but the girls can't. i don't think either of them should. If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend then u shouldn't chase other people. If your not happy with what you have then you should end it.

  8. No,they should ander over themselves to talk to the chica in person. No, I don't think they would tell the parents because considering it's against the law, I personally don't think the parents would be to happy about it. Si, I love to dance! I would defianately go to a discoteca. I personally think that is disrespectful of the guys to to that to a chica.

  9. Me no hacer que to chicas. Es no manly. Discoteca sounds diversion if la musica es intersante y "bueno". El ninos en Mexico es loco. Esos ninos need some dominio sobre si mismos. Me opinion.

  12. Si, i like to dance, it's a lot of fun! /i'm not one to stand around the edges like most, what fun is that!? And i don't think it's very fair that the boys can pretty much go off and do whatever but they don't even want the girls talking to guys! Maybe they should do the same if thats what they want their girlfriend to do, no guys for her, well then no girls for him.
