Parties
 

I went to one yesterday. It was awful
The people I considered friends first just changed after a few beers.
The music sucked, my friends kept dancing like a bunch of idiots, and this one 14-15 year-old I don't even know felt the need to criticize me a few times.
Also, I hate beer.
What are your experiences with parties?

I hate parties. I went to a few at school, and hated them.

When it came around to going to my school prom, I didn't go.

So yeah, never been a party person.

My first real party was last December after my prom. It was awful. The music sucked, everyone was drunk and the atmosphere was heavy and brought the scent of alcohol. I found out parties are not for me. Concerts are much better although I can't go very often cause I can't afford. :roll: Because I spend it on my martial arts equipment and training camp.

Forgot to mention one guy at the party (he's in my class too) won't stop touching me suggestively (he thinks it's funny) and now my other friends are doing it too and I swear to god I'm so sick of it but he won't stop.

You don't have to say how old you are if you don't want to, but are you in high school? This sounds like a high school party...

16th birthday party of a girl from my class.
I'm 16 too, and I'm allowed to drink (I hate it), however, a my friends (and other people there) weren't and drank so f*cking much.
(I consider 3 bottles of beer a lot since I only could stomach half a bottle).

You should probably just skip high school parties. No one in high school knows what the **** they're doing and it's just painful to watch. Start doing parties again when you're 21+. It's far more enjoyable.

I don't think I actually started enjoying anything party-like until I was about 18 and started going to convention parties where I could be nerdy and not have people think I was weird. Parties with a bunch of your *real* friends are a very different experience.

The best parties are Mario Parties :lol:

I'm very awkward in parties of that kind, I can't hear anything when there is loud music, I can't dace and don't want to dance, I rarely drink, and I can't stand beer.

Parties with a small close group is much much better.

I like to party, but I don't like going to actual parties. Getting loose with a few close friends on the railroad tracks, in a dingy basement, atop a building, down an alley, in the woods, that kinda thing, I always enjoyed that. There'd be 5-6 of us, & we'd be shooting the sh*t, having a laugh, not anything too ridiculous in scale. I hate big traditional parties, where there are mixed crowds with conflicting cliques, loud annoying commercial music, nothing but cheap ass beer, people screaming & expecting everyone to be a social butterfly, etc, that sucks. It's boring & awkward.

Don't sweat it too badly, when I was your age I had a bad party experience too. Myself and a partner at the time went and I was repeatedly harassed over being in a same-sex relationship at the time, which seemed completely alien to them. Teenagers are usually douches, plain and simple. While I'm not not with him anymore and have been married to my wife for a good long time, me and my ex often relay funny stories about how insecure those people were.

Was never into parties, never really went. Not at that age and now... I've got better things to do.

Hell, at this age I'm just hoping to avoid being talked into attending the 1st birthday "party" for my mom's friend's daughter's child. I mean, not to be mean, but the thought of being bored to tears listening to other people's mundane chatter and at least one young child scream half the time while they pretend their infant gives a crap that this is a birthday party... sounds torturous.

They're fun if they're with people I like. Although i need to get buzzed or drunk to actually have fun. And the parties I go to mostly involve chatting and hanging out with people whilst listening to music. I'm past the age of going to parties to get piss drunk and do stupid ****. here at university you see many young adults and kids out of HS doing embarrassing things in public because they drink themselves until puking. :roll:

I know the feeling, The music in these parties can be awful, I'm going to one tonight with the family, And no doubt, Its all Spanish music, Which I cannot stand. And I'm into Electronic Dance Music.

I realized that the main reason I like parties is because I host 90% of my own parties. Parties are awesome if you have complete control over everything and everyone attending. Lol

I don't like parties - I've got social anxiety so it's more stress than it's worth; it's either go and feel like crap all night, or go and drink to drown out my anxiety and then feel like crap the next day for not being able to function like a normal person.

I'd imagine teenage parties would have to be fairly rotten even if you're not socially anxious.

Parties were great when I was growing up. Lots of dancing and lots of chicks. The chips were always stale though, for some reason. I threw a party when I was 14 and it got real out of hand. Kids were trying to sneak in threw the windows and whatnot and people were throwing bottles outside and the cops were called by our neighbors. My mom was pissed but hey, it was a night to remember.

Then I got older and started partying in clubs, which is still fun. One time I was at Copacabana and some dude felt up my sister. I pushed him down some stairs when he walked past me. Good times. I haven't been in a while, though.

Everyone has their scene. I don't go to clubs because it's not my scene. Not into electronic/techno music and such. That's why I usually go to bars.

Different clubs play different kinds of music, you know.

I dislike paying to simply enter a place. At bars I only actually pay for the drinks.

I went through a party phase in my late teens/early twenties. I never partied in high school. I was scared of alcohol lol!

I'm a very social person, but I'm sensitive about how people treat me, so if I go to a party and someone outwardly hurts my feelings, I'll still be nice to them but you can bet I'll never hang out with them again. A lot of party people are real douchebags. I don't have time for anymore of those in my life lol. I don't really "party" anymore. Party as in going off to college drink fests and going nuts. Scary stuff goes down sometimes, and you really have to watch yourself and your drinks. I ended up having to drop almost all of my 'friends' in my early twenties because people are so freakin shiesty. You live and learn, right? Sometimes the hard way. :\

The last time I really turned it up was about a month ago. And if I could take it back, I would. I got so sick ;-; I really can't hold liquor so I shouldn't even try. At least singing karaoke and being with good friends was nice. I get super depressed after I drink a lot of alcohol. And I didn't remember this until the last time I drank. It had literally been SO long since I last drank liquor. Something to keep in mind, kids: alcohol is a depressant.
