#Adult Tennis Camps

[navree]

my parents are very good parents and i love them very much but i think i will die before i lose the chip on my shoulder that i have about the fact that they had me prioritize tennis (a sport i am not good, hated doing, started late at, and immediately stopped the second i was told that i could) over other extracurriculars i was into, to the point of interfering with the latters in service to the former

[zweiginator]

Wait what if u go to some fancy tennis camp and there’s a roommate mixup and ur roommate ends up being PATRICK😳😳

dead at patrick being such a perverted freak that he says his name is patricia or something and the camp is so busy and run by people your age anyway, in their 20s, that it’s terribly disorganized.

you plop your bags down and stare at your room number and then back at the paper they gave you. yeah, B15 is right. so why is a six-foot-one boy on one of the twin beds, sucking in a cherry lollipop?

“you’re patricia?”

and patrick acts confused, as if this wasn’t his deranged little plan all along. to be forced in a room with a pretty girl. to smell her perfume and peek up her skirt when she did her morning stretches.

he pulls the sucker out with a pop.

“patrick. they must’ve fucked something up.”

and you both just decide it’s fine; you’re both in your early twenties at a tennis camp anyway. you’re adults.

but it’s hard to focus on the camp, on getting better when you’re ogling at each other. sharing a bathroom and trying not to look at the towel hanging awfully low on patrick’s hips as he leans against you to grab his toothbrush. you can feel his erection and you tell yourself that it’s natural, he has a lot of testosterone and adrenaline from the competition.

but that doesn’t make it easier for him. and he sees you through the crack of the bathroom door when you’re changing. how your tits bounce as you pull the tight tank top you were wearing over your head to get ready for your shower.

and the camp is strict about stuff like this. there’s a reputation to uphold. but god, they still haven’t caught onto the roommate mishap and it’s so fun to mess around, knowing you could be caught. feels like a sleepover every night, cuddling in bed with each other but not doing anything because the tension is almost as delicious as the real thing.

but the key word is almost.

because when patrick wins the tournament at the end of camp, his chest heaving, beads of sweat dangling diamonds from the ends of his curly tendrils of hair—you can’t help yourself. and watching you cheer him on, how your skirt flipped up when you jumped, it has patrick so fucking hard it feels like there’s no blood going to his brain.

so he slams you against the door that night and licks across your teeth as his hand wraps around your throat. he’s peering down at you; you, his subject, waiting for what he’s going to do to you.

you welcome all of it. let him fuck you right there against the door of your little cabin. a window sits right next to you, and patrick holds your hips in his calloused hands, reaches to your front to rub your clit and whisper in your ear.

his cock fills you up so much you need patrick to muffle your gasps for him because you know you can’t control yourself. but he doesn’t, because he needs the verbal validation. he needs to know that all you can think about is patrick, patrick, patrick.

wants everyone to hear about him. how he did such a good job in his matches today. how he’s such a good kisser. how good he’s fucking your tiny little pussy.

maybe it’s his insecurity, maybe it’s his ego. or both. but he revels in the feeling of fucking you, his cock brushing against that sport that makes your voice go raw. your back arching against him and the desperate scream of his name purging from your throat almost feels better than the brush of his dick deep inside you. than cumming in you and claiming you as his.

and he doesn’t mind that the other boys can sleep that night knowing patrick won in more ways than one.

adding to the sukuna anon, I think sukuna would definitely be the mean dad if he has a daughter who brings boys around and he just stands around menacingly and also unbolts the bedroom door whenever a boy is around!! aint no privacy in that house if he can help it gkjfhdgjkd he'd be so cute and annoying

I also love the idea of him having twin boys too!!! thats so big brained I think he'd find entertainment pitting themselves against each other in wrestling matches and claims he had nothing to do with it when one of them ends up badly hurt gjkhfd

Aahahaha please he would be so annoying 😂😂 He cannot accept the fact that his little girl is a young woman now who wants to make her own decisions and find a partner who she even might want to marry. Sukuna is outraged!!

He is such a manipulative asshole when it comes to his little princess wanting to move in with her new boyfriend. It's funny how this big, powerful man can pout and sigh while asking your daughter,

"So this is it? Your old dad isn't good enough anymore? After buying you all those Barbie houses you wanted? After paying for your tennis camps and gifting you that Porsche for your 18th birthday? After fighting your teacher so you get a good grade in Math? Do you really think this... boy... will be able to take care of you? How big is his apartment again? What is his job again? The last time I saw him, his tie wasn't knotted correctly. I don't think he is capable of being successful in life."

But nothing he says stops his princess from dating this boy and talking as if she can imagine a future with him. Sukuna is SO distraught! You have to pet his hair and hold him in your arms the whole night, whispering soothing things to him.

"You know, darling, it's normal that they grow up and want to stand on their own feet... You have to give her some space. And that young man seems really nice."

The next morning Sukuna hires someone who does a background check of his little girl's potential partner.

"I can't have some crazy guy date my sweet daughter! I have to make sure he isn't some killer or scammer!"

"Kuna...have you maybe considered that you are the one who is acting crazy right now?"

The boyfriend definitely has to have good nerves and true feelings for his girlfriend, to endure all of dad!Sukuna's shit 😂

Some time passes, and the daughter marries that guy. Sukuna, of course, pays for the wedding. He always wants the best for his princess. And after all, he wants to be able to tell everyone that his son-in-law's family didn't contribute anything, just so Sukuna looks like the only good dad!!

It doesn't end there though. Sukuna feels a bit more at ease with his son-in-law now, but that doesn't mean he will ever accept him. Now there is another problem:

Sukuna is also the type of dad who will invite his son-in-law to so-called "boys' weekends". He says it's because he likes his daughter's husband so much, and he wants to show him that Sukuna sees him like his own son. Sukuna grins happily when his princess hugs him and thanks him for being so nice now! And his sweet wife is also full of praise, kissing him and telling him how proud you are of him for finally accepting that his little girl is an adult now.

But in reality, those "boys' weekends" are like boot camps where Sukuna makes sure to show his son-in-law that Kuna will always be the more successful one, the stronger one, the smarter one etc.

When you realize what is going on, you roll your eyes and hug your husband,

"Baby, I know this is hard for you. But it's ok! Your little princess still loves you. Please just leave that poor guy alone. You don't have to assert your dominance all the time."

"Oh no, darling, you don't understand. I have to make sure he knows his place."

Eddie can't deny that his first true love was games. Games have structure and rules. Board games are phenomenal teaching tools, and video games after them are an extension of the same, but many are a one-to-one connection with a singular player, allowing for better immersion. Many games afford all players the same spread of resources and the same opportunities to earn more, regardless of circumstance -- and having grown up in a low-income household alongside classmates who were even less fortunate, Eddie favors equal opportunity. He played American football in high school and earned a scholarship to play in college. While that sport in particular does engage in strenuous physical contact, outright attacking players is typically prohibited and severely punished when it happens.

But unless you know Eddie very well, he will vehemently deny that his love for all of the factors described above is derived directly from his formative experiences with his father sperm donor.

As an adult caught up in the exponential advancement of media technology, Eddie is very interested in the applications, pros, and cons of social media, as well as the observation of people engaging with it -- sometimes to the detriment of their attachment to reality surrounding them.

Eddie is a watcher. He watches people, he watches TV (yes, his interest in true crime is a particular pique especially after his various run-ins with both the law and breakers of it)... and he watches the sky. This last was less an interest of his before he met his Other. Now he looks up and wonders what would be awaiting Them there if They ever chose to leave this island Earth. Would it be friendly? Would it be fatal?

Knowing that nameless wonders and horrors alike swim through that sea of stars, he finds it so incredibly silly and pointless that humanity has the gall to try to eat itself in the name of greed, cloaked in a false veneer of competition. And he realizes that his voice alone will almost certainly not alter the flow of time or fate... but he'll join it with other voices who are perhaps more optimistic than he. If the world turns, or doesn't, on the strength of a few words, then he'll write and shout as many as he can until he finds the right ones.

Who let it be dark

Driving in the jeep but it had a bad belt, kept slipping the radio and lights going in and out. Needed to stop my passenger had to pee, in a dick's sporting goods totally rearrranged, my tennis racket in my hand but stepping down through shoes, benches with people trying them on, got chastised, wanted to run away instead remembered more, was away at camp for adults, left my shoes somewhere during the day, it got so hot, needed two showers, was putting on brown lace up men's mary janes but in soft brown, supple like calfskin, knee high socks to match my cute shorts, yellow and black seated next to friends sharing an awful story, compassion for those we just met, my friend and I running to catch a train, everything where it would take us had a car, a plane a boat waiting. Every dream is part of this now. Every time I look out over the edge, everything I see is what I've known about, what we've speculated on. Old man in the sky but really on a cliff behind some clouds. I feel nostalgia just for sitting with you.

[pearls-and-pumpkins]

Idk I’m kind of the opposite. I couldn’t wait to get out of high school and start my “real life” away from all the petty drama of the insular school environment etc etc, and was honestly a bit influenced by sentiments like these^

But now I’m in my “real life” I wish I wasn’t so hard on school while I was in it. I mean high school is pretty good. Exposure to a heap of different topics and information, *with* guidance from a teacher is incredible. I still casually read about history and I read books but I miss dissecting them and talking about the ~themes like we did in class. And don’t suggest a book club to me because the only ones I’ve ever been in made me read a lot of Colleen Hoover.

A hot-take positive about high school I’ve realised since leaving is the ability to play pretty much any sport. I genuinely SUCK at sport so if I were to try and join an adult team I don’t think I’d be allowed to, but in school because you *have* to do them you can try a whole bunch and it’s kinda… fun? I did tennis and soccer and netball and cross country and I’m still really really atrocious at them all but whatever? Now all I can do is join a gym or run around the park

Also my particular school was really nice (and it was a regional public school before you ask about how posh it was) and we had really good field trips and school camps. I got to see places they don’t let you in if you’re just a curious adult, because you’re probably a security risk; like the water treatment plant of our town, and a nuclear physics research centre on a trip.

I can see why people (even those who didn’t have kids straight out of school) say it’s the best years of your life: (if you’re not under privileged and probably middle class and don’t have abusive parents) you don’t have a hell of a lot of responsibility, you have no bills, you see your friends all the time, you’re in school for less hours than you’re in work, you get to try a bunch of stuff out, you have camps and field trips and formals and free periods.

Idk guys, high school was pretty good

Hey btw I don't know who needs to hear this, but those adults telling you that your teen years are the best years of your life? Yeah I don't know what the hell they're smoking, either. I'm 29 and every once in a while I just sit here and think "man, it sure sucked to be 14. Glad I never have to do that again."

"The Canadian Youth Commission, which owed its very creation in 1940 to the King government’s recognition of the Depression’s toll on the young, emphasized how the experience had imprinted this generation. Surveying youth organizations across the nation, the CYC

quickly discovered that no one under thirty remembered normal times. . . . So deep are the scars left upon Canadian youth from the Depression years that any of their discussions of postwar employment were prefaced . . . by reference back to what had been and what must never come again.

As one Quebec youth group submitted, unemployment caused more damage among young people than among adults:

It confuses them in a period of adaptation and development, undermines their confidence in life and can even destroy their latent possibilities.

The CYC’s final report on this topic, Youth and Jobs, urged national responsibility for full employment. The commission wanted to see programs for youth aged sixteen to twenty-one that offered paid work “of varied kinds” as well as physical, vocational and citizenship training, the latter to ensure “the experience of democratic living.” Remembering the Depression’s army-regulated work camps for single unemployed men, the majority of youth polled expressed their opposition to any idea of compulsory national service. Instead they called for “projects of general value” that offered “real wages,” including conservation; construction of rural schools, libraries, parks, shelters, and tennis courts; and a variety of possible services to public and private agencies. The “real objective” of the plan would be the development of “good citizens who would find a normal place for themselves in the life of the community.” Like their elders, the young adopted the language of citizenship and national welfare—a language that obviously held much resonance for Canadians of this time—to promote their generational ends.

By 1940, three broad youth-employment trends had become evident. First, not surprisingly, the wide-open field of unskilled and semi-skilled labour remained the predominant employer of the youngest among the under-twenties; second, white-collar vocations, represented by the clerical and professional occupations, did not recruit substantial numbers until the ages of seventeen or eighteen; third, the level “distinguished either by seniority and experience or extended education” recruited hardly at all before the age of twenty-one and often long after that age. Recruitment to the skilled trades among workers under twenty-one was relatively small-scale, although, as discussed, it had been showing some signs of growth before the crash of 1929. For urban youths, the largest occupational fields appeared to “wax and then wane” in rhythm with their stage of adolescence, some very early and others toward the end. The lowest service category, comprising store delivery boys, messengers, bellboys, and predominantly female domestic servants, lost members rapidly as early as the age of seventeen, a “mortality” that characterized the so-called blind-alley or stopgap occupation. While some young Canadians moved on of their own accord, with a “noticeable influx” to the intermediate manual groups at the ages of seventeen and eighteen, these were lines of work where younger employees were actually most in demand. By the age of seventeen, “boys’ rates” had to be raised, making it more profitable for employers to replace the maturing delivery boy from a younger and cheaper reserve. Likewise, the intermediate service sector, although open slightly longer, was fairly closed to persons over twenty-one years old. The largest category open to the under-twenties, therefore, was unskilled industrial work, mainly light factory jobs. Yet the ephemeral nature of work in this area is revealed in the fact that it also accounted for the largest number of the unemployed.

Published on the eve of World War II, Leonard Marsh’s employment study concluded on an ominous note where jobs for Canadian adolescents, most particularly future male breadwinners, were concerned:

The narrowing of opportunity on the very threshold of manhood thus backs up on itself . . . a large part of the fund of labour which in the ’teens may seem to have wide scope.

Some young workers might feel the pressure after their first job, at fifteen or sixteen; others experienced it at nineteen or twenty, when the supply of unskilled labour was enlarged by migrants from the farm and overseas, who tended to be somewhat older, and when learner posts were much harder to find, with most provinces adhering to an upper age limit of twenty-one years for formal apprenticeship. Young women encountered the restraining effects of market demand even sooner. The service category, already disproportionately composed of women, contained fewer eighteen and nineteen year olds than any other age, while the numbers of “light” factory workers among women also declined after the age of twenty. Marriage partly explains the decline, but age was also an important factor: there was more demand for younger girls in these areas, and younger girls—with little or no experience and consequently few alternatives—were also more likely to take up the jobs. Cheap female labour was typically a little younger than cheap male labour as a result. Sharing a common view, Marsh argued that young women’s own attitudes and ambitions most often shaped their prospects. He conceded, however, that modern industry’s growing dependence on young unskilled female labour, and the evidence of oversupply in white-collar fields, made it impossible to regard the problem of training and entry-level positions for youth “as only a male one.”

None of these findings about the youth labour market and the nature of employment during the interwar years is startling. By World War II, employment beyond the dead-end or blind-alley jobs was contingent on the education of the job-seeker—a fact underscored by the economic crisis just ending. Put simply, the steadier, better-paying, and more promising jobs accrued to the better-schooled—and therefore usually older—of the youth sector, especially among young men. The data call into question any notion of a “golden age” for unskilled youth employment that might have existed before schooling or specialized training, as well as maturity, were requisite. Gaining entry into the world of wage labour, especially for those who left school before age sixteen, was challenging simply because of their age. The majority of that group stepped into adulthood as cheap and dispensable labour. Nor was this simply an outcome of the Depression. Long-term structural changes in production meant that modern commerce and industry had fewer places than formerly for beginners, the vast majority of whom were under twenty. Many of the unskilled jobs customarily the lot of the young were now performed by machinery; many of the new jobs resulting from production changes required the skills, or at least the experience base, of older workers. In fact, reasoned the Canadian Youth Commission, in “a great majority” of cases, even when the work was classified “unskilled,” jobs called for “a certain physical and mental maturity” and “a degree of emotional stability” that Canadian youth, “from the very fact that they are young,” could not be expected to have. It was generally believed that, where under-eighteens were employed, “the usual experience” was higher costs to the employer because of age related higher accident rates, breakage and wastage, the extra supervision required, and the higher rates of turnover.

Technological advances had made increased training a prerequisite of employment. For many young Canadians, certain occupational paths were thus closed: their families lacked the means to provide for this training. This was especially the case in the category of white-collar and professional employment, the means of entrance into which were tightly class-, race-, and gender-delimit- ed as well as age-defined. The CYC’s 1943 national youth opinion survey showed that 40 per cent of young Canadians would enter the professions if they could, in stark contrast to the 5 to 6 per cent of high school students who actually went on to the university courses that the professions demanded—and the population of high school students, while steadily on the rise, still represented less than half of the public school population. Most commentators were agreed that education, including vocational guidance, was the solution. What was needed above all was “a detailed occupational outlook service for the whole school leaving population,” which would allow for “constructive and scientific planning for Canadian youth."
