I had an opportunity to chaperone a middle school (kids 11-14) party a few weeks ago. During one of my rounds, I found a girl locked in a vestibule (where she should not have been) frantically using her cell phone to call for help. It was obvious she was trying to reach someone who would could let her out before she got busted. Unfortunately for her, I found her before the calvary could arrive.

I started to wonder, how would my adolescence have been different if I'd had the opportunity to call for help when I got in trouble? Is it easier for kids to get out of scrapes now?
This is assuming that the majority of kids have cell phones. My kids assure me that the majority of their classmates have phones that are nicer than mine. I also realize that I'm showing my age here and that there will be campers who had phones in school.
So I'm wondering, are there events from your adolescence that would have been different if you'd had the chance to call someone? I thought of two and I'll post them inside.
Please keep in mind, this is intended to be a light-hearted campfire. No heavy topics, I'm begging you.
(Hopefully it's still FFA.)
it's not, but i like this topic and give my approval.
