Girl's just wanna have fun...

[Gob]

They’re young, beautiful and think they’re invincible.

On the face of it, today’s teenage girls are no different from those of previous generations. Except, writes Rachel Olding, that they’re sexually promiscuous and binge drinking like never before – and documenting much of it on Facebook

It’s midnight on a Saturday and at King Street Wharf’s Cargo Bar, the night has soured. Sara*, a 17-year-old graduate of an exclusive north shore girls’ school, has been kicked out after tripping over a bar stool and nearly smashing a glass. Her friend Sophie, 18, has stormed out in a boozed-up sulk because the former Knox boy she’s casually sleeping with hasn’t appeared. Laura, 18, the third in this tight-knit circle, is the last one standing. Barely.

Laura is so drunk that she can hardly talk but in a haze of double vodka cranberries she’s telling me how a night like this plays out. “My motive is to choose a guy and flirt with him,” she slurs. “If it’s someone I’m not interested in, then I’ll just sleep with them but if it’s someone I like, I’ll try to hold it from them for, like, four weeks.” We’re interrupted by a guy she knows who demands that Laura and I pash. “Have you two ever hooked up?” he smirks. “C’mon, hook up or get out.” I wear my disgust on my face but Laura ignores him and when a Pussycat Dolls song starts playing, jokingly gyrates up against some girlfriends on the dance floor. Faux lesbian kisses were cool in year 10, she says, but are a bit of a yawn now.

Never? As in always?

I think it is because the reporter didn't realise that her mother actually was just as big a slag as the women she studied for this article.

Of course women were binge drinking 30 years ago. I was with them.

Of course women were sexually promiscuous 30 years ago. I was one of them.

Nothing changes and it all remains the same.
