I think this is ridiculous. If this law is passed the mall would probably lose business. And this is one of those places that is used basically to hang out with friends. Who wants to hang out with friends in the company of their parents, NO ONE.
were all gonna be kidnapped soon cuz we'll be forsed to hang out on the streets cuz ur takeing away r mall!!!!! it makes us so mad ur people can do this to us i bet you thought we wouldnt have a say in this but you were wrong!
i think its soo gay how u have to go w a parent to the mall on the weekends i mean honestly its a teenage hanging out spot n plus its the weekend n thats when i mostly go..
As much as i hate the mall,and 90% of the people that are always there i think its a pretty ****in' gay thing to do, just tell the teenagers to stop having sex in the bathrooms and smoking pot in the parking lots
this law is so damn stupid,laws in america keep getting way more pathedic.also many people dont have people to take them to the mall and stay with them,now parents have to stay with them,liek thier going to want to do that all the time.
Yo this rule ain't that bad but it should not be eighteen it should be sixteen cause if ur old enough to work in the mall u should be old enough to shop on the weekends
These rules are ridiculous. The mall is a place where teens go to hang out and have fun with there friends. If they keep these ridiculous rules where would we go, those whos parents dont want to be at the mall a lot or those that arent 18? I'll tell you where a lot of them will go, to the streets to start trouble. Most teens like to go to the mall with there friends, to be with them to sometimes get away from there parents. There parents drop them off and then pick them up after. These rules need to go. They are so stupid.
I THINK THAT THY SHOULDN'T DO THE 18+ THING CAUSE FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS ARE THE ONLY DAYS I HAVE TO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE ADN HAVE FUN WITH FRIENDS. IT'S GONNA BE REALLY BAD IF THERES ON 18+ I MEAN WHERE ARE THE 17 AND UNDER GOING TO GO IF THEY WANT TO GO TO HOLYOKE MALL AND THEY CAN'T.I MEAN HELLO I LOVE GOING TO THE MALL WITH OUT MY PARENTS IT GIVES ME SOME TIME OF PEACE WITHOUT THEM NO OFFENCE TO THEM I LOVE THEM VERY MUCH BUT YOU GET SICK OF THEM SOMETIMES SO PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO US!!!!! IT'S GONNA BE AWFUL!
this is bogus. If someone wants to cause trouble,have them. I think there should just be more police officers in the mall,they don't neccarily have to have uniforms on either.
most of the stores are for teens and teens usually have more time to go to the mall on fridays and saturdays some people have work and wut not every other night i think its stupid on the malls part because they will end up losing lots of customers and then shutting down
although, i do belive children 16 and under should not be allowed on a friday or saturday night, i also do not believe it is fair for the 16 plus. I am signing for them!!!
This is one of the stupidest things i have ever had. I have been going to the mall for along time alone with friends and shop and walk around and see everyone. This is bull****. At first all my fridays got cancelled because rock 'n rollerskate closed. Everyone has been coming to the mall scence thatb closed and now you are going to ust close this for the 1's that go. So this mean you would rather have us doing drugs on the street. We don't need to go to the mall holding ower mommy and daddys hands. Most of are parents drop us off at the mall because we want top have fun. If they didn't drop us off then that would prob. mean they don't trust us. I think the parents should decide if we can go the mall w/ a parent..Think abou tha.
even though i am sure the holyoke mall has its reasons behind their actions, we provide most of the businesses with customers, and TEENAGERS are the reason that a majority of the stores stay open. These recent actions are obviously aimed at a certain group of problem teenagers. There are tonssss of teenagers in western mass. that will be affected for doing nothing wrong. this is bullllll
Why would u do this..the mall would be losing money cause some parents drop there kids off for a couple hours on friday and saturday night so they can go out to dinner or something with out there kids...you are gunna lose money if u make friday and saturday closed to kids under 18 wt out an adult
I think that not letting people under 18 go without parents is so outragious becase that is like the only place were people that are young can hang out while their parents are at work or other places. Its like we are being babysitted and most of the stores are targetted for teens you barely see old people walking around the mall its all younger people.what are they gonna do see us without parents and arest us just becauz we wanna go hang out with are freinds and go shopin!ARE THEY TRYING TO KILL TEENAGE GIRLS?? WE ARE GOING TO GO INTO A COMMA?
the mall actully keeps most of us out of trouble. thats the only place we have left to go. chicopee doesnt have the skating rink any more. we have no where now that your taking away the mall.its completely unfair. would u rather us be hanging on street corners? we'd be in alot less trouble if we had some where to go! n that was our last chance. this is deffinitly ruining our lives!
yeah biggest bull**** i've ever heard. Do them old people even buy anything? I think not! so basically you're screwing yourself over cause you just watch your sales drop, feel lucky if you even get any. just becuase some people get into a bit of trouble which is not a big deal anyway cause i'm sure you've gotten in to some **** in your life cause um its called growing up. but those people shouldnt have to ruin it for n e one else. and who would actually be willing to go to the mall with their "mommy" and "daddy" seriosuly and my rents have better things to do than take me to the mall anyways. **** you hmm k?
yo this shizz is sum cut man dey aint gon get no money if they cut us out like that str8 up shoot man 4 pm thats what time everyone wakes up this is sum str8 cut but yea they shud let us in ya heard holla back
This is quite possibly the dumbest thing that holyoke has ever done. You are creating a restriction during the school year for people under the age of 18. These people are still in school and the only nights they even can go to the mall or anywhere else for that matter are Fridays and Saturdays. If the "older shoppers" feel threatened by us shopping in groups and hanging out at the mall ... then they could just go during the week or during the day on friday or saturday.

yea it's not right that they're making this new rule but everyone who just signed the petition using swears and flipping out is just proving their point. Now they're going to think they don't want all these kids who swear in their mall anyway. Good job everyone!
what are u people doing... first you people take away rock n rollerskate now u wont let us go to the mall by our selfs with out our parents just so we can hang out with our friends thats not right .. because you dont want kids on the street doing drugs and stuff so we hang out at the mall .. i guess you didnt think before you made this decssion cuz its reuin our lifes and i can tell that you people dont care... because some kids are gonna end up hangin out on the street and doing drugs and stuff
thats dumb.. #242 [briannnaaaa ;)]is completely right. i wouldnt spend time with my parents on a FRIDAY, SATURDAY, or ANY OTHER day of the week, ESPECIALLY NOTTTT AT THE MALL! so how they think people will actually attend under the age of 18 & still get enough profit is beyond me.
this is completely gay i personally think ts ridiculous. they never had a problom before and if the problom is ppl cant watch the kids thety should get a new job that they can handle because making kids go with there parents is so gay!
I know that some kids cause trouble, but my friends and I DO follow the rules. You're going to lose a lot of business because most kids aren't allowed to go to the mall on schoolnights because they have homework and need to get sleep for school. No teenager in their right minds would EVER go to the mall with their parents! The mall was the LAST place for us kids to hang out at since skating at Rock 'N Rollerskate closed. Now where are we supposed to safely hang out with our friends?
All of us teenagers should give our business to another mall. Also, just because some teenagers do something. Doesn't mean we should all get penalized for their behaivor.
Why would any one do that ? The holyoke malls profits would go down and they would end up closeing . Some people loose everything the mall is an important place for Teens. They shouldnt punish Teens we have no other place to hang out and buy clothes !!! Rock n Roller skate was taken away Now this !? What if parents have to work and you have a ride with a friend I AM SURE PARENTS WILL NOT WANT TO STAND AROUND WAITING FOR TEENS OR KIDS TO BUY THERE CLOTHES !
i think the holyoke
mall should still let kids under 18 go alone becaus no only is it a place to hang out, but sometimes friends need to catchup on things.
a mall should be a place that kids should be able to go and hang out and shop. and its the only place around here that we can go to and shop and hang out around here. there no teen center no skating banding us from another place is just going to force kids into getting involved in other illegal activitys such as drugs and drinking. if there were kid causing problems why didnt you have them call there parents and get picked up and b suspended from the mall. no instead you punish all wich is redicously unfair to everyone
I mean seriouly ur gonna lose tons! of bussiness and i no that me and most of the other teens and ther family will not be shopping at the mall STRIKE! and plus do you want us on the street doing drugs? cuz kids r gonna do any thing to c there friends and that means out side of the mall ruining it ..
it is pretty stupid that you can legally drive a car by yourself at 16 and 1/2 years old but you cannot go to a mall by yourself until you are over 18 when driving a car is far more responsible than walking around and hanging out with ur friends at a mall.
i agree on wat ur sayin now its all bout being 18 and younger kids want to hang out to. some kids hang out on the streets now if younger people hang on the streets there will be more trouble then there was before!!! and if anything the older people should have adults because they are the ones who are always stealng and getting in trouble not the younger people this ****en sucks!!!!!!!!!!!
wow - retarded. do then know how much money theyd lose from that? ridiculous. that place will be so dead. people effing suck. i'm telling you, man.. they love to see us upset. and uhm HI- do they expect us to be spending actual time with our parents? who does that? haha thats it - thats wehat i wanna do on my friday night, go to the effing mall with mom. mmk, right on that. :- stupidddddd. do they do this in other places and at other malls? never heard of it. thats so stupid. ahhhhh.
this is ****ing retarded.. you people already took rock n roller skate from us.. now this? haha ****ing dooshes. i hate you && hope you die a slow and painful death.
ok, this is really bull**** beacause there is no other place for teenagers to hang out.. and u mall people act like we r trying to f*ng bomb the place!! yeah we get into trouble and we are going to its called growing up and ur gonna punish us for that?? and whats with this 'scaring old people' s**t? whos to say they dont F*ng scare us.. so if u take the mall away what the hell are we supposed to do? sit home all weekend?? F* that..
Making the holyoke mall 18+ on certin days makes it more conveneient to go stand on the street corner doing drugs with friends, seriously making the holyoke mall 18+ is the most stupid thing ive ever heard of, like seriously teens cannot go alot of places to hang out with there friends these days and eliminating the mall is making that list alot smaller.
I never go to the Holyoke Mall with my parents. What parents want to waste their time taking their kids to the mall, when they can get themselves there? This is a pretty rash decision. Maybe you should think about getting better security? I go to the mall to shop, and I go with my friends. Who wants their parent with them?
Wow. Kaitlynn is right. They had to close skating and now we have no place to hang out except the mall and you guys practically are going to ruin this. Yes, maybe some people should be more mature but it's not all our faults and you do not have to punish us all for it. You make me soo upset
wow this is ridiculous someone needs to get a life instead of making our lives living hell now its 17 and a half for the driving age .. well at least there thinking about changing the drinking age to 18 but still come on it a ****ing mall whats the worst **** that can happen FUCK YOU GAYASS FAGGOTS!
There are very few places younger teens can hang out with friends these days. The mall i our last place to get together and hang out. I relize so people may cause trouble but were young and stupid, i my self have friends who have done some rather stupid stuf at the mall and once they get warned they stay out of trouble aking me to help see they dont do any thing wrong. Please dont take away the from us.
Thank You for reading,

I think if the mall is worried about teenagers causing trouble they will be creating even more problems if they know their not supposed to be at the mall without a parent and seriously what horrible thing have they done so far?
this is gay if kids under the age of 18 wanan go shoppin without their parents that should be able and if the mall isnt goin to allow then they r f**ked up big ass time!!
later
I think it is grossly unfair to punish well behavied kids by restricting their visits to the mall.
Those involved in unacceptable behavior should be dealt with by security people in an appropriate way.

What teenager wants to go to a mall with parents or some ****. Under 18 teens would rather hang with their friends, otherwise there is no purpose to attend the mall.
