Behind the Wonderfull Lights of Jakarta at Night

Jakarta is a town which have never died. It goes from the time that people usually go to work and until some of us maybe already asleep. But while we were sleeping, there still people who go and enjoy Jakarta, different way from some people used to do. For teenagers, Jakarta is the perfect place to “hang out” and show their capability to be a grown-up. But for parents, Jakarta might not be the place that you can feel free to let your child go and enjoy their life.
We can tell that night life is equal to the life at the clubs. In Jakarta, clubs usually opens just for adults. These places only allow person with ID card showing that they are 17 years old and above. Many people did not realize that some of the ID cards they are showing are not real. So, automatically, teenagers under 17 years old are entering places that they shouldn’t be there yet. Not only by showing their identity, for some people, they don’t need their ID card because they have the guest list. Their friend asks them if they want to come and join the party, and they give the “guest list” for free. They smoke, drink, and the worst thing that might happen is drugs.
Many parents didn’t know about their child behaviour. They tell their parents that they want to sleep at their friend’s house. Or they got homework and haven’t done yet doing it at a friend’s house. They lie just to go and enjoy what they call life. Social life that maybe doesn’t good for them who doesn’t have the basic knowledge of what might happen to them in those clubs. Teenage nowadays are very smart to protect their alibi from going to clubs, especially teenagers in Jakarta.
These things happen everywhere in this world, or in the smaller part, Indonesia. But Jakarta is the most dangerous city that can cause a bad thing for your child. All of these things happen because Jakarta got no strict rule for many clubs here in Jakarta. People did not take this seriously and if we are not the one who cares about this, no one does. They will keep allowing children under age to enter the clubs and without knowing it; your child might be one of them. So, for you who have a child in Jakarta or studying here in Jakarta, you should take an extra care of them. Everything can happen and it is your responsibility to take a good care of them.

Good work, thanks for posting.
