Tell her she can go to the party and you'll pick her up at midnight IF she provides you with the host's parent's phone numbers and you can confirm they'll be there. Let her talk you into 12:30 am.

You don't think that's already pretty late for a 15 yr old? I had an earlier curfew than that when I was 17.

More like group sex.

Read this story for a good reason why to say no:

They deleted some comments, but basically one of the people who died of an overdose was known as a house where there were parties and his mother was there allowing alcohol and worse.

Stop the denial, OP, face it: they're going to be drinking and at least one of the kids will bring pot, X, or Ritalin for recreational use.

Not all kids do drugs. Or drink. Although drinking seems more likely, but this seems like a bit of a stretch.

Hellllll no

No. Guarantee there will be alcohol in some way shape or form. Either the parents or someone will bring it in. Or both. Which will lead to sex or near-sex.

Just a bad idea all around.

In my experience it's to cover up drinking. All the times my kid has attempted to get me to say yes to this, it was a party where the parents provided alcohol.

No way. (And you are not the only one. I guarantee.)

OP again. I have boys, not girls. Not that I think that should matter particularly, but just FYI.

If your child is hanging with the type of crowd that you'd be the only parent objecting, then hell yes I'd be MORE inclined to object!! Clearly they are used to being unsupervised and allowed to do what they please. Not the environment I want for my child. Luckily my DD and I have an open enough relationship that allows me to voice my opinions and she is respectful of that. She may not agree - and I do encourage her to tell me when and why she thinks I'm a stodgy old lady - but that helps me understand her and her to understand me and accept my rules.

No. And at that age, even when they say it is not co-ed .... the boys are lurking somewhere. Oh, the stories of our youth.

Nope, my child would not be attending.

Hell no. Of course they are going to screw around, they are 15!

OP here.
No I don't know the parents.

I'm less concerned about sex than about drinking,etc. Sounds like most people are more concerned about the former?

what are you kidding? Do you expect it to be sober/celibate?

The answer is no.
