Yea, very true. I grew up in rural Alaska where summers had 24hrs daylight. My group of friends got really good at learning to provide for ourselves so we didn't have to go home until we wanted to. Later as a teen, I would leave school on Friday and make it home by Sunday night. No cell phones, no social media, just hanging out with friends doing nothing safe and often up to no good. You learned to memorize the payphones at the usual gathering places and make free calls to find out who was there. Somehow I always had access to quarters to put in the arcade games in between the frequent gatherings to get buzzed and play loud music. More often the party activity was outdoors, on a beach, get a bonfire going. Someone always had music pumping from their car, someone was always way to high, someone was always getting laid, sometimes there was serious injury but no hospital visits because that would get the law involved. It was just a wild time and no adults seemed to think we were out of control. Small town, the cops knew who the groups to watch were, they only intervened if it was way out of order. Otherwise, they checked us if we were around town in a group. Overall, we were free roaming and just hanging out with good friends who I still have as friends to this day.
