A group of unsupervised teens probably can't just hang out in a Wal-Mart. That's probably the kind of thing this is about.

Why you'd want to hang out in a Wal-Mart is something I don't understand, but different people have different ideas of fun.

I could see hanging out at Walmart if at least one of them is buying something. I don't think anyone is allowed to just hang out in a store if they're not buying something though lol

Yeah that's the problem. Where do you go to just be?

We used to hang out at the park, or go to someone's house, or go to the movies, or just drive around lol... I'm sure there were a few other places but I can't think of what they were now. I guess those are unacceptable for today's kids?

Snooze.

Wake me up when there's something interesting to do.

So what you're implying here is that in order for you to go somewhere to "just be", there needs to be some sort of entertaining distraction made available to you at no cost? That seems like the literal opposite of "just being"

We raised $3'000'000 in my hometown to have the city build a skate park. Someone pocketed the money and gave us a quarter pipe, two rails, a box, and an incline in an old unused tennis court. You can fuck right off with your assessment of me.

I'm sorry to hear someone stole the money for your skatepark. Skateparks definetly are fun... That hardly addresses the point you were making though. Based on your previous statement you apparently need a $3 million skatepark in order to "just be"?

What's being without doing something you like? I'm not a tree. Can't let loose and be myself like that.

It's a war on teens!

More like a war on the poor if you wanna go there, which has a lot of overlap with teens. But also stores are not really meant to be hangout spaces.

They would not have been possible 20 years ago either
