I dont miss this. First off, agreed, he should be commended for asking. Second, I think 16 is too young. As I used to tell my kids, "I trust you, its the least amongst your friends that's gonna sink you by letting the internets know there is a 16 year old home alone having a party". We've had quite a few incidents here in my town where teenagers got their parents in trouble with the law from parties that went sideways. In their senior years, I let the kids have gatherings at the house, but we had to be here (monitoring, not spying) and know each kid and how they were getting home. I'm sure the culture is different in France so this may sound way off to you. |

I'm sure the culture is different in France so this may sound way off to you. To be honest, there are some cultural differences. Having experienced it first hand, I find American teenagers a lot wilder than us. I remember visiting my American friends over the summer when I was 15-16 and they were slamming 6 packs while I was still sipping beer and trying to act cool. It's a calculated risk: neighbors have been warned to call us if anything seems off. No one drives (drivers licence @ 18), a friend checking in @11:30... |

Hey, I know you know your son, and I think you're fairly reasonable for a socialist froggy so..... as long as your comfortable with it. |

some kid in the next town (farmingdale) had a party when i was in high school, a bunch of us from plainedge crashed it. the kid's parents were away and the crowd got pretty big, front lawn, street, cars everywhere
anyway this was when bud nip bottles were a thing, my buddy went up into the parent's bedroom and put an empty bud nip bottle in every inside pocket of the father's suits in the closet
don't recall if we pissed in the ice trays and put them back in the freezer, but it's a possibility
good times

My parents were strict. I had small parties @ my house. But my best friend had blowout parties. Usually had the cops stop by about noise complaints but ignored the alcohol. A warning was given if they had to come back, the party was over.
The next morning, we cleaned everything up. Really got away with most parties but some assholes put bottle caps on the living room ceiling fan one time. 😂
But I grew up in CT & most of the best parties were in the woods.

This is what the wifne says. They'd have people collecting pallets for a few days, find a place in the woods and have a huge bonfire party. Cops or fire department never came. Makes the human sacrifice we did on Long Island seem kind of pedestrian. |

Freshman year of college was back home for the summer. Girl from high school throws an absolute rager at her parents place as they were out for the weekend. Probably around 60 people. Absolute chaos. People were pouring into the street, climbing on the roof, etc.
Unsurprisingly a kid ran into the house and shouted cops!! Probably about half the people scattered and in my drunken stupor I just decided to sit in the living room and chill. Anywho, cops come in and say just keep the noise down and there will be no issues. Perfect. Party is back on.
After a few minutes - and incorrectly thinking the cops had left at that point - unbeknownst to me, they were still outside (the way the house was configured there was a long walk up to one of the side entrances which just so happened to be next to the living room which had the windows wide open).
My dumbass then decides to shout VICTORYYYY BLUNNTT and not even 30 seconds later, cops appear in the threshold of the living room and go, "who said the words victory and blunt?!!"
I look like 😐 at this point and thankfully only after a brief pause, the cops then say "alright party's over. Pour out all the alcohol."
Thankfully at that point it was late and everyone was fucked up to the point where they thought it was funny, rather than rightfully scolding me for essentially ending the party.
All us eejits in the living room likely would've been cited/arrested at that point and I found it a bit odd we weren't. Later after the dust settled found out one of my best friends had called his brother who was a state trooper and he got in touch with the cops who showed up at the house and he worked his magic.
Don't think I ever thanked him for that come to think of it.
Tl;dr - be friends with cawps or know someone who is

I went to 1 party my senior year in high school that was hosted by someone who went to my high school. It was in East Norwich, north shore LI. He served port wine cheese.
We thought it was playdoh and started throwing it at each other.
We were never asked back.

We partied almost every weekend. Had friends with parents that went away a lot. Absentee boomer parents. Plenty of noise complaints and cops breaking the parties up. We usually did a good job of policing ourselves and cleaned up afterwards.
The biggest issue is today is the kids are frankly dumber and the parents more litigious. And our party drugs werent death sentences. Our weed made you hungry and sleepy. Didnt cause psychosis. The ecstasy and blow didnt have fentanyl.

One of my first parties when I arrived in France around 15 years old. Parents forced me to be back by 12 or something. On the way back I run into a group of older kids saying "hey where's the party?". I tell them to just go straight and they'll find it. TBH even if I had said nothing they would have found it Next Monday, I get to school and asked the chick who was hosting how the party finished. She explained that right after I left a group of kids crashed the party, stole jackets, fights broke out...it got ugly. She was like you must have seen them...I was mortified. The whole thing turned into a sort of war between schools. The kids had come from a different school. Some dudes from my school went there for retaliation. The party crashers ended up surronding the front gate to our school to retaliate for the retaliation...My biggest fear was that one of the crashers would recognize me "Hey that's the dude who told us where the party was!!!" I came clean like 20 years later to a friend who was at the party. "it was you!"  |
