Show your parents you can be responsible and mature by approaching them and discussing the issue with them in a mature and responsible way.
1) Explain to your parents the reasons you do not want to go and why you will feel uncomfortable.
2) Explain that your presence there may make other guests, like your teachers uncomfortable. Having taught middle school aged people in the past, I don't know if I would want to be at a New Year's Eve party with my students.
3) Present a plan to your parents for what you will do instead so they know what you will be doing. You're going to catch up on some your homework you had over break, then you're going to watch a movie that you rented ahead of time, watch the clock strike midnight and go to bed at about 12:30. Or whatever.
