Whoever wrote my daughter's health class text apparently lives in the 1950s.

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

"After that, let's met up at the malt shop, listen to some doo-wop songs on the jukebox, and go see a movie at the drive-in."

We should bring all of that back. Well, maybe not the doo-wop.

There's a teen center 2 minutes from my house. Is it not normal to have a teen center?
-
They don't really exist anymore. 3rd places have more or less been killed off.
You must now own a car and pay money to exist somewhere, at all times.

TV makes it seem normal, but I've never seen one IRL. But then, I've also never seen a school that is entirely inside a single building or has multiple floors, either. And I'm sure those exist somewhere.

And yet when I give the same suggestion to my friends they all call me a perv

Is it because you're in your 40s?

That sounds real nifty. I do so enjoy a good sock hop. I just hope they don't play any of that devilish rock music.

I graduated in 2013 and we had a teen center, it's still a thing. I assume as long as theirs teens there will be adults wanting to get them off the streets

Sorry to burst your bubble but Teen Centers are a thing since always. My high school had one until someone burned it down in 2015.
Keep going on about how these evil grownups just don't understand you though, commenters. CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIN

What even is a teen center ?
It's kind of like a library but not that many books, more condoms and snacks, often a projector and screen for movie Nights, and access to Community Resources like food banks and clothing places and counseling for gay people and stuff
"Condoms and snacks"? I think you're thinking of the teen pregnancy center.
All that stuff sounds very smashable for instagram likes. Of course, "it's just a prank bro".
My small town (<3000) had one in the 90s, we had a dance floor with music Friday and Saturday nights, a projector for movies and a concession stand, and a mini golf course downstairs. In my later teens I helped convert an unused part of the second story into a haunted house/maze for Halloween.
The building was originally a warehouse built back when the town had industry around the turn of the 20th century. It was brick built so still in great shape even today and it’s been abandoned again for 20 years now
In the 90s, original teen center in my neighborhood was the YMCA or rec center. The adults complained and restricted a lot of the access to "teens with parents". Malls were kinda popular. But so was the nearest game store or comic store.
In the 2000s-2010s, it was coffee shops. But you had to pay to be inside.
The new "teen center" in my neighborhood was the library. Quality place.
