[quote=Anonymous]Is this AU Park/Janney?

It definitely sounds somewhat like our experience.  My kids are in high school and the insanity has ended. Nail in casket. People have moved, gotten divorced, kids go to 10 different high schools and have their own friends. Thank goodness.  It was such a weird mix of "wow, this is such a super fun community" to "I can't deal with this. we need to move." 
This intensity comes in waves--every grade or block does not have it.  It takes a few super social families in one block or one grade and it just snowballs.

And yes--the ugly side is that there is absolutely A TON of alcohol involved (and probably other stuff too but I was never cool enough to know).  Now that we're all 50+ (and our kids are teens) there are people in rehab.  The school fuels the drinking culture.  In a typical year the school auction will have something like 12 parties which sell tickets a fundraiser.  11 out of 12 will revolve around alcohol.  Morning mimosas!  Afternoon cocktails in the garden!  Kegger in the evening!   :roll:
