Adventures for those in the teens can vary dramatically depending on various factors. Firstly, how far they are into their teens, the location that they live, where they hang out, the money available to spend and their social background, can all influence how teens spend their days (and more worryingly their nights)!If televisions programmes like 'Skins' are to be believed, teenagers spend their days getting stoned, going to clubs and enjoying antics that would put the Karma Sutra to shame...
