Heres the story.
My good friend who i will call Dog is having her 16th b'day party which we've all been going on about and trying to work out.
and at school and stuff they talk about wat drinks they bringing and how drunk they mite b n stuff as if it was totally normal, and these are really good friends to me who aren't relaly popular or try hard populars n just do there own thing. And yet because there is going to be alcohol at the party I'm not allowed to go. I can understand this, 1 I'm not going to lie to my mum because I('m stuck with her a lot longer than i will be most of my mates, 2 peer pressure can be strong so I can understand why my mum would be worried (although my friends are actually ensuring that one of my frends going who isnt allowed to drink wont be drinking), 3 drinking is illegal and who knows what someone could slip into my drink.

Ok well I'm sounding liek a bit of a square at the moment but the fact is, in Australia you can't drink until you're 18 and yet it becoming normal for kids as young as 12 or 13 to be drinking at parties. There's too much focus on drink driving and not enough on what teh actual laws are and people who are too young to drive drinking. There is people involved with maruana and everything at our school and we haev one of the better schools. Why do people ruin it for the rest of us by becoming involved with things like this. Why can't people just have fun at a party without the need of alcohol. Adults get drunk and they're supposed to be resonsible so how on earth and we supposed to be any better??? I don't know what to do or say to my friends when they are the best of friends in every otehr aspect and wouldn't make me drink but still in a rounabout way are ruining it. There's not much chance anything I say will stop trhem drinking at parties just to 'lighetn the modd'. Life sucks.

Your better off staying home. One Halloween a few years a high school girl had a party & her parents said before hand everyone could spend the night if they drinking , all of them were under age cause here it's 21 to drink, or they would get them a sober ride home. Well, about midnight,when the parents got tired of it all they ran everybody off & didn't even try to make sure everyone had a designated driver, 4 kids got killed driving home they flipped their car somehow, because they were all drunk. You just can't trust people who will allow underage kids to drink. They only had a couple of miles to go to get home, it was so sad. Try to stay away from people who engage in this behavior at least away from school, they are a bad influence & will inevitably try to get you to drink. My son's best friend was drinking awhile back & he fussed at him & told him if he didn't get straightened out & stop drinking he wasn't going to have anything else to do with him cause he couldn't be stand to be around someone who drank. His friend stopped & hasn't drank since that I know of, he used to dip too, now he's trying to stop that too. You can be a good influence on them if you just try.

your a very smart young lady. I say if you don't trust the people at that party or trust yourself then definatley don't go. parents always know one way or another when their kid is lying Im an adult already and my mom always knows when Im being truthful or lying. even my 30 year old sis.

This is a story, not a question. Do you know that you're on yahoo ANSWERS? Answers kind of require questions for the whole thing to work, you know.
