[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a lot of high school parties growing up in Fairfax.  None of us drank in my crowd.  I hung with the theater kids.  We had a great time.  We played records, danced, made out, laughed, and generally goofed around. We all drove home without incident. The fast "cool" kids ( the ones who called us drama fags and play gays) had the beer parties.  I remember one party where some random kids turned up with beer and the mom turned them away at the door. Party hosts parents were around, mine were always up and chatty when I got home. My parents didn't keep much alcohol in the house and I honestly would have had no clue how to procure booze if I wanted.  I drank in college but didn't go wild or anything.

It drives me nuts when parents say "all kids are going to drink."  No they won't.  I didn't, and my friends didn't.  I think parents so badly don't want their kids to be perceived as  unpopular or uncool that they turn a blind eye to drinking or rationalize that everyone does it.  [/quote]

This is very similar to my high school experience, although most of my friends were into music, not theatre. None of my close friends drank or did drugs. We still had the time of our lives together. We played games, watched cheesy movies, took walks, talked about boys (when they weren't around), flirted (when they were), gossiped, and laughed our heads off.

I drank some, not a ton, in college, and I drink a little now. Just wasn't something I had any desire to do in high school. No one I wanted to spend time with was at those parties.[/quote]
