Thoughts on Clubbing talk

Questions to think about

Issues that Clubbing raises

Getting drunk
Hangovers
Date rape
Getting home
"A survey of 1,000 teenagers across the UK, found half of those questioned had had sex. One in three sexually active teenagers said their first experience was a one-night stand and half said the experience had happened when they were drunk"
Drug culture
Fights
Personal safety
The financial cost of it all
Coping with friends that are drunk. From what I hear, a lot of squabbles start when a gang of girls are out...they get drunk and say hurtful things or do things that are inconsiderate to the rest of the group
Unwanted sexual advances
Damaging your hearing

Practical advice to consider

Kai Tracid Video

Watched with video again, and it raises lots of interesting points for discussion:

one moment it shows the woman having fun, the next it cut's to her lying of her bed, depresses, recovering
there are references to sexual advances, drugs etc.
she eventually collapses, because, as I see it, she was given something which leads to date rape

Possible Bible bits

Ecclesiastes 11:9 "Young people, enjoy yourselves while you are young"
The prodigal son - he leaves home for a life of partying
2 Samuel David dances like an idiot to the Lord (my paraphrase)
