This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Whoever wrote my daughter's health class text apparently lives in the 1950s. (lemmy.world)

Maybe they can go to the malt shop later? And then the sock hop?

The closest thing I've ever seen to a teen center was a sports facility that had a room for kids and teens to hang out, but that was closer to a babysitting service. Paired with the facts that you had to pay monthly membership dues ($25 to $100/mo these days, apparently) and the whole facility was meant for something else entirely, it's not something I would first describe as a teen center. Not any more than I'd call a high school a chemical R&D facility just because of its chemistry classroom.

Outside of that one room, I'm not aware of anything else nearby me that would be even remotely similar.
