Should College Students Go to a Night Club

Rachel Wu

     Although a big city such as Taipei looks like a busy and stifling prison, city dwellers, including college students still can find a way to release their stress. With the limited space in the city, people gather in the night club to stay close to each other and find some comfort from bodies close. Is it right for college students to go to night club? If you were their parents or teachers, would you agree that your children or students go to a night club?

     Most entertainment facilities in Taipei are artificial, such as zoo, theaters, the Internet cafes, KTVs, night markets, and night clubs. All those entertainment facilities originally provide convenient functions to human beings, but some people turn the advantage into a bad purpose. For example, many bad things such as fighting, drugging, and so on occur in the night club. Do you think teenagers are safe lingering in the night club?

     In the night club, college students are just looking for happiness from dancing with the opposite sex or venting feelings by drinking. Because the night club doesn't have limits about the backgrounds of guests except for the age, it is also called “The World of Adults.” There are so many factors that cause different things to happen. That's the reason why the place always gives people a bad impression. To college students, the night club and other night locations are too dangerous to get close to. The more private they are, the more bad things may happen.

     Drinking too much alcohol is not good for people, especially for teenagers. But in the night clubs, many crimes will be committed by purposeful people. The unsuitable reasons for college students to go to the night club are too many. One problem is the college students may be indulged in drinking. Some of them are very fond of wine, and enjoy the dizzy feelings. Most of them claimed that they just come to the night club for drinking wine. They blamed their mistakes on alcohol. The alcohol paralyzes all sensory nerves. All the sense of touch, smell, taste and the reaction become slow because of alcohol. Drunk driving causes car accidents. Some teenagers like to ride motorcycles fast when drunk, which may easily cause car accidents.

     The second problem is that the night club plays loud music and mixed songs to attract people to dance. It is dark. And every one stays close to another, and their bodies seem to nestle up to each other; college students cannot stay clear-minded in that kind of place. They are too young and impulsive to control themselves. They may get lost easily, making fanciful thoughts and indulging themselves in the atmosphere. How can college students keep their clear minds in this situation? They’re young, and they’re too innocent to realize the bad influence of the place. They even don’t have any social experience, and needless to say, they face the confusing sexual world too early.

     The third problem is that the night location supplies young people with fun surroundings and does not give any limits. Some people may want to celebrate their friends’ birthday or experience the feelings in the night club. The other people may want to drink wine or swing bodies on the dancing floor. Others may just want to see hot ladies or handsome men. Most people just want to search joys. But if people have bad intention, they may hurt someone. For example, if a teenager’s drink were added drug by someone, what would happen to him/her? It’s horrible for girls to leave seats carelessly. Why do the teenagers not keep away from those places? Young people, especially college students, should know how to protect themselves in the night club.

     College students should concentrate on their education rather than having fun. If the college students stay at the night club for a long time, they will fail their school lessons. Once a person becomes purposeless and shiftless, it’s very hard to find the right way back. Going to the night club, a college student waste time and money, even fail their lessons, and disappoint their parents.

     I think college students can sometimes go to the night club to find joys or make parties on a special day, but it’s not suitable for them to stay there for a long time. There are many other ways to release stress, like going biking on the bank, going hiking on the mountain, going fishing by the river and enjoying the natural view, etc. Staying at home and watching TV are also simple ways to relax. I think keeping a far distance from the night locations, and studying hard are the best thing for college students to do.
