Parties after prom

[xteer76]

Depends on the size of the school. I know people who had more than 1000 people in their graduating class, 12 is a small percentage.

It takes two. So, 24 involved. Or at least 13.

Yes, math is awesome.

That's why I wrote "area." It's still a couple of dozen morons in a small area: that's too many.

Agreed - that's what made it so shocking.

As for alcohol use... I tend to run liberal. My state allows me to let my kids drink. And it was never an issue in my home. If they wanted some wine or beer with dinner? Fine. But they were not going anywhere after. And I would not serve any of their friends. They also knew that if they EVER got behind the wheel after having ANYthing to drink? Keys & license were mine.

You guys spend so much time bashing teenagers that I think you've forgotten that we're humans too. We're not as simple as "alcohol=fun"
alcohol+dirtbikes+baseball+camping+atvs+jobsandmoney+girls+football+rivers+mountains+sunriseseventhoughitshard+pizza+bonfires+hangingout+iforgotsomestuff=fun
Not all at the same time. You can't play baseball and ride an atv at the same time. We've tried.
It's not like teens are all drinking all the time. You also seem to think that all teens who drink, drink excessively. That's not true.




So you're saying, don't fight based on principles if it's inconvenient?

Also, what I was trying to get at - when you're in school you're kind of I guess in their custody during the day/event (?), until you're back with your parents. So, there's also nothing in any book anywhere that talks about that? When that transfer happens?



Haven't some places tried that and the students organized their own proms which looked a lot like the after party Stealth keeps talking about?

Alrighty then.

Yes. But, humans lacking the common sense and wisdom that comes with age, and filled with the arrogance and self-importance that comes with youth. Understandable, but still a risk.

Considering that ANY drink is generally unlawful, ANY drinking can be excessive.

The general rule is that they are responsible from the time you head to school until you return home or to an appropriate destination afterwards. It gets dodgy whether schools possess the legal ability to enforce discipline before or after a school event unless you have signed a behavior contract, or, you are caught in violation of the law. But, as I previously mentioned, even if you are correct and the school should NOT discipline you for drinking after prom, by the time it is resolved you may have lost the opportunity to walk with your class, attend a senior trip, or even accept a certain scholarship. One moment of pleasure ...

I drank excessively. Got arrested for crashing my mom's car into a police car trying to get away from the cops when they busted the party. Got suspended and probably can't go to graduation. Got 3 girls pregnant. None of them were my prom date - that's probably the most awkward part of the weekend. Prom was good though.

Was that the 'tiny incident' you were talking about?

Look at you go, putting your hard earned wisdom and common sense that us teenagers don't have, to label an entire group of people, many of whom aren't in fact arrogant or self-important whatsoever

And you registered just extra specially to pee in the wind at one of the most respected members of this forum?

How jolly interesting.

And you are how old?

So, you joined this site just to criticize me? Wow. Criticize away, kiddo. I think I'll stack up my decades of experience, training and education as a parent, educator, and peace officer against whatever it is you might think you possess.

So says the braniac who claims to have been arrested at 15 after assaulting his sister while drunk.

Don't you know how super awesome fantastic it makes them feel when they toss an insult or two into our fuddy-duddy winds? Ya know, that whole empowering thing. "Yeah take THAT old person!" *le sigh* kids these days

 

[xteer76]

*le sigh* kids these days

Yeah but who raised us?

lol.

But to be honest, there have been a whole lot of assumptions thrown around in this thread. Not all teenagers are complete idiots. Just some are. We just had a really fun prom night. Nothing crazy happened. Just good times.
By the way, as far as I know the principal is not looking into anything from the weekend. Nobody got busted doing anything. Nothing newsworthy. Look wow - teens can pull that off.

Certainly not me. Mine aren't quite so arrogant nor disrespectful.

And, I'll bet these "good times" included copious amounts of alcohol. That's IS crazy, and that is NOT "good times." That's a disaster waiting to happen ... number one killer of teens and all.

Wow ... teens being deceptive, call CNN!

 

[xteer76]

You do realize that there are teenagers who are capable of following the idea of 'alcohol limits'......right?
