What would you do if you knew that someone in a club you were attending was underage?
The 18 and over rule is there for a reason in my very humble opinion. What do you guys think??

Report this to the organisers and they can deal with it accordingly. A rose by any other name has thorns that will still make you bleed.BITE ME | ||

I know that some say that from an early age they felt a part of the scene but that is no excuse to enter a club underage. I can remember someone a few years ago who was underage and the subject of being underage came up in conversation with friends a few days ago hence the blog.

Before I do my reply properly, I will state that I don't agree with underage people attending clubs. Part of the reason for underage not being able to attend clubs, is due to the fact that most clubs that are used, are licensed premises for alcohol. Is there a difference between someone who is 17 years old and 51 weeks, compared to someone who is 18? SOME 17 year olds, CAN be more mature than some 40 year olds that are about. I don't ever feel that under 18's should be encouraged, but nor should they be totally discouraged from something that feels right from them. So .. what is the answer? "Dear Santa ........ I can explain!" | ||

Or to the venue owners/managers as they are the ones who will be in trouble for it. That's assuming it is a place with a drinks licence. http://desocialized.com/ | ||

I should answer honestly if I'm going to comment at all, and I have to say I wouldn't say anything. The door staff, bar staff and club organisers would have a responisibility to act if they thought someone was under age, but I wouldn't take it on myself to report anyone. I wouldn't encourage an underage person to come to a club, and I certainly wouldn't knowingly come to a club in the same company. But if i had nothing to do with them being there, I wouldn't take my responsibility that further step. A poltergeist sent back in time to change the course of history forever. | ||

This is always a tricky one for me, I know for a fact that although I never attended a club when I was underage, I certainly talked online and pretended i was 18 although I did tell a few people when I had talked to them for a while that I wasn't actually old enough to be there...) My issue and problem with things are along these lines... Those under the age of 18 are generally not only sexually active, but if they are BDSM onclined they may well be experimenting along those lines as well, I know I certainly was at the age of about 14... As tricky a situation, and as uncomfortable as some peple may feel with it, having a safe place to play/experiment with BDSM is a good thing for people of any age, especially those that are young and while they might have the desire they may well have neither the understanding or life experiance that can help people deal with the headspace and feelings that might arise... Yep I know it is a difficult one, one that recently has struck home more then ever... some might know that in our life there is someone we refer to as 'the little un-named one', she is a close friend who is under 18, and we both want to help her on her understanding of what she is feeling, and it is hard when she wants to clubs and munches with us, but she cant! try and view my spelling and grammar as a challenge when reading my posts!

I'd tell the organisers. Fetish clubs have a hard time as it is can you imagine the outcry if somme 'innocent' under 18 was dicovered by the authorities at a club. To say nothing of the threat to the licence holder and their job. Sweetiejar |
