[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is there to gain from high school students going to these parties?[/quote] Nothing. The point is that parents have less control over HS teens, they have more independence, and hopefully they make good choices. Very few parents are fine sending a HS kid to a drinking party. Most parents are fine sending a HS kid to a friend's house to watch a movie or sporting event. What will they do when (not if) a friend brings out a flask of vodka and starts mixing drinks? Host parents are there but not in the same room and are unaware. Our kids have demonstrated enough responsibility to earn our trust to hang out at their friends' houses. We talk to their friends' parents. We've taken steps to make sure its a safe environment. We talk with our son regularly. There's still a risk. But I'm not going to lock him in his bedroom until he goes off to college in a year. [/quote]
