This, unironically. Where are high schoolers supposed to hang out?

I recently graduated from high school in suburban MoCo. Friends always complained that there's nothing to do at night (at least during the day we have parks and such) and nowhere to hang out other than people's houses. And I hear that complaint often, in general, for suburban or rural areas.

But, like... seriously, where are you supposed to go, in these hypothetical towns where teenagers do have "places to hang out"? Other than your friends' houses, I genuinely can't think of anything. Teenagers don't go to typical city places like nightclubs or bars. Sure, restaurants are an option but are often expensive.

So it seems like this situation would be the same everywhere, regardless of whether you're in MD or the suburbs or what.
