Defining "fun"
Fun can be defined as a pleasurable experience, enjoyable occupation or an activity that involves amusement or pleasure. But what do we view as fun? The answer will likely depend on our age, because what's pleasant and fun for a child is not necessarily entertaining and fun for a teenager or an adult. What people consider fun often changes with age and maturity.
Pleasure and fun today
There are infinite ways to feel excitement and pleasure, and to have fun. Some people would rather go to a movie than hang out with friends or go dancing. Others care more about doing what's "cool" according to their peers, no matter whether it is goodor badfor them. It all depends on what motivates us.
Today, many engage in excessive drinking, raves, clubbing and mosh-pits, drugs, sex, video entertainment and other activities to meet their lust for stimulation, distraction and their definition of fun. But, what are the possible effects of these fun activities? Should fun come with a price—a penalty?

Unfortunately, it seems that human nature always manages to find the most risky and damaging ways to accomplish this
