Kids and their drunk highschool parties - story time with Mystical ^.^

[Mystical]

I'm a little on edge right now, I think any normal person would be too after you heard what happened:

So there I was working on my NR2003 project at 1am at night (I'm a night person so being up this late is normal for me). Then I started to hear a ton of cars and loud screaming out my window and what do I see unfold for the next 3 hours...

There was a ton of stupid high school kids in my area all going to some drunk graduation party literally flocks of them in piles walking and running down the street and driving way too fast in cars almost running eachother over. Guess they graduated and some dumbass kid invited them all over which resulted in extremely loud annoying asshats at 2am in the morning.

Obviously they were drinking and almost ran a few people over with their cars. It was like the whole high school or something. I dunno, but things escalated quickly and where I live crap like that isn't tolerated. Pretty sure my neighbors called the police once the horns were constantly honking and these drunk kids were saying the F word every 5 seconds threatening to get into a fight with each other screaming right outside people's front doors. A lot of kids live in my area (like children) pretty sure parents didn't want these vandalizing violent idiots around.

How people can have no regard for the people that live in an area is beyond me. I was in highschool once. I didn't go to parties and get drunk and cause issues for others. Glad they got arrested. I heard some of the conversations and looks like some were trying to drive drunk and had no license.

They are real winners and will have a bright future for sure. I have lots of faith in our future generation .... not.

Have you all ever witnessed this type of event before or something similar?

Yes I have,

I'm not much older than some of these guys, but something stupid like this would never cross my mind.
First off, I went to school in a rather preppy town that while the northern part of the town was mostly farmland (I live there), the downtown area was full of mansions and beach houses and parties of the sort. My town thrives off of our cheerleading and our football, and you can see why that causes a problem. I was in a basic Spanish course with the majority of the freshman cheerleaders when I was a senior, and got to know a couple of them. I happened to sit at the lunchtable adjacent to them one day, and noticed someone bring in a paper bag that resembled something you'd get from a packie. Well, I kid you not, the girl pulls out from the bag a handle of Jack Daniels. And they start pouring it into their water bottles. This was clear as day, and what they didn't realize is that they were doing it and the security guards were watching them. The minute they started drinking from it, on came over the guards. The cheerleaders were all kicked off the squad for the rest of the year, and without a doubt in my mind, I think the punishment was fair. I can only hope that this town becomes clean again, before it permanently has a scar on the state of Connecticut as a spot for preppy jocks and heavy underage drinking.
Second off, one of the main reasons I'm not a partier is what happened to my freshman year college roommate. At Bryant in Rhode Island the first weekend is called Around the World. Basically, each townhouse made their own specialty drink and in order to go Around the World you had to go to each townhouse and drink each person's drink within a night. I said hell no, but my roommate did. He got back to my dorm somehow, completely trashed. He decided to run out of the dorm room and I ran after him. Before I could get to him he passed out in front of the stairs, falling down a couple of them. It could have been much much worse. I left the school because I felt constantly bombarded to drink, and it wasn't what I went to school for. That was 4 years ago.

Flash forward to last summer. I'm at my town's beach and I see some kids, and I can tell that they're drinking (open container) and it's crystal clear that they were high school kids. But the one thing that caught my attention was that out of the 6 kids, only one of them was a girl. She was the most visibly drunk out of them all. I didn't directly get them at first, but as one of them walked by I heard two guys talking to eachother. I remember the conversation vividly being like, "Dude, don't be a (cat), just take her to the locker room and f--k her." at that point I instantly reported them to the police. I don't know completely what the end result was, but I just think it's ridiculous that kids are given access or find a way to easily get alcohol and use it to take advantage of a girl. It's bullcrap.

Sure. Sounds like the average night in downtown Los Angeles. That's why I stay far away from the "club" scene.

Well, I can tell you, my generation has won the award for dumbest lol. Honestly can't stand kids my age anymore. All they want to do is get drunk, smoke weed, steal crap, and say YOLO every 5 seconds. I HATE it when they say "Swag" and all the stupid crap too. Now I'll admit, I did drink right after my graduation last week, but these kids do it EVERY weekend, and just expect everything to be okay. I stopped hanging out with kids my age last year cause I was tired of all the BS.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just really tired of people lol.

Back when I was in a high school, a whopping 2 years ago, I would see kids drinking in the parking lot every day or they would be at the park down the road drinking. The town my school was in has a serious problem with alcohol. Just a short history lesson...it's an old mining town that was established back in 1851. IIRC, at one point there were 11 bars on Main Street which now is only about a little over a mile long. Now there are only 5 or 6 still open on that stretch of road. Even in middle school there were kids that would pour vodka into empty Monster cans and drink all day. I don't drink because A. I'm not old enough and B. I've seen too many people, close friends and family ruin their lives or die due to alcohol use and I'll probably never drink because of that.

I just don't talk to people in my grade. I think, man, I'm a senior now and people are throwing their lives away. While here I am doing something with my life.

I don't like most of my grade. I'm usually never invited to many things. But I don't mind it. I know I'm safer and better off staying in.

 

[Mcc457]

I have my certain group of friends who don't choose to throw their lives away, instead of talking about the next stupid party we argue about which car is better, and discuss our next plan for economic domination...hehe

I was the same way...well sorta. I still talked with those who chose to throw their lives away, heck I pretty much talked to everyone but nope never was invited to many parties. I think just 2 but didn't go to them because I knew there was going to be drugs and alcohol involved.

I'm glad I am close to graduating from my school. I live in a town where we are so small, we go to the adjacent town's high school, and it's like a mini-Camden there (Really bad town in NJ).

People snort crack in the back of the room during class, people have chewing tobacco w/ clear bottles that you can OBVIOUSLY make out what's in it, and there's a fight almost every day, in-school or out. About 3 months ago 5 people beat up a kid for the thrill, almost killed him.

This generation of kids will ruin the world if someone doesn't do anything about it. It's getting terrible. Being kind and sober for more than 3 seconds is now a rarity around here, and across the U.S.

You sound like my son. He's about to graduate from high school in a few days.. He's totally into hanging out with his friends, they all tinker with there cars in the garage together, and chase after girls!
He also busted his ass in high school to get good grades so he could attend the college of his choice.
Plus the best part is he HATES the taste of beer! LOL He does not party, smoke or drink.

Go get that economic domination!! (y)

Well glad I'm not the only one to have run into these type of hooligans before.

I have no problem with adults drinking when they know their limit and don't completely off rails but I don't get why this younger generation is willing to look like a fool for popularity and 'fitting' at the expensive of their future.

I've never drank before, have no desire to. I knew when I was young peer pressure was stupid and always said 'no' when someone wanted me to smoke, drink, or do whatever I didn't feel comfortable with.

When I was in highschool (which was like 6-7 years ago) things were already looking bad. It felt more like a jail with cops all around and prison style fights and gangs running rampant. Really ridiculous. Needless to say getting out of Highschool was amazing.

Total opposite for me...I live in a bigger city and went to small adjacent towns high school. Pretty weird but whatever!

There was at least some sort of gang-related behavioral problem at my school every day. Luckily our administration worked well with the police that they had on duty every day and didn't put up with any of it and actually enforced their policies(for the most part...that's a story for another day.)

I am not going to say I wasnt drinking when I was younger. I just had rules about drinking from my dad at that age. If I ever have kids and they want to drink. They will have the same rules I had.

As for partys. I lived in a town of 1000 people. Kind of hard to have a party with out 5-0 knowing about it. So we would go to some ones barn and party there. If any one got out of hand. We would take that person to bed. But that hardly ever happend.

Now as a 27 grown up. I dont drink as munch as I use to. I havn't been in a bar in years the reason why. The idiots that are at bars. I stand 6ft 250 plus. You have no clue how many times some one has wanted to fight me. I will night fight a drunk. There not worth me spending a night in jail. I have even been hit a few times by cheap shots. I still just walk a way.

I think my childhood was on the other end of the complaint but it was a long time ago and kids are different these days.

Ain't that the truth.....lol

I don't know if this applies to american school kids, but here in the UK most of the younger kids here (11-16) just seem to heckle people and they can get away with it, if an older person does something back to them then of course, that older person gets the blame and all the hate of "Why would you hit a kid?!" and all that non-sense. Kids aren't afraid any more of the older kids, when I was younger i would never cuss or even talk to the older guys, and a lot of the people my age say that too. Is it a good thing kids aren't intimidated as much? Yes. But personally most of the kids here push it over the boundaries and take it too far, which sucks for the older ones because all we can do is shout back at them as some sort of retaliation, but this encourages them even more...

Back to the main topic, i was at a party one time where we were all under age for drinking (18 in the UK ) and the neighbours had called the police because some 15 year olds at the party where outside shouting absolutely wasted. When the police turned up we were all crapping tons, but for some reason they didn't arrest anyone, which i guess was a relief but we all had to go home drunk... Which was another adventure on its own for me and my friends (y)

I'm in college now and I just absolutely hate all of these drinking frat idiots! Everywhere I look it's people that try to find excuses to drink, screw girls and just be obnoxious. I drink from time to time but its not at a huge scale party. I'm not a fan of confrontation or anything so its me and some close friends that drink and do stuff. I like waking up in the morning feeling refreshed and having energy and going on with my day. When I'm hungover I feel useless for 2 days! Whats the point of laying around and feeling like crap all the time?

Back in high school I only went to 2 parties and drank at one. We lived in a small town so it was always at people's houses outside of town. Even then we tried to not be too loud because of the cops and we had respect. Now it's like they don't care who knows. They treat an MIP like it's nothing. Just wait till they go to job interviews! HAHA!

I may have been a complete a-hole in high school (my memory is a bit fuzzy lol) but there were lines I wouldn't cross. I was a raging alcoholic, but never did any drugs and wasn't into the party scene. I did my share of crazy things but there was still a conscience involved.

Then again, I also was my own person and didn't give a flying hoot what the 'in crowd' was doing. Interesting cars were a big part of life then too, so I had plenty of interests that were constructive.

I've since quit drinking aside from the occasional Molson during a hockey game or glass of expensive wine with Lorraine, and settled down (for the most part) at 27. I'll still speed and turn the stereo up in the car more than it probably should be up, but there's no more waking up next to some chick and having to ask what her name is. Hell, I'll even sit and read a book now.

I guess what I'm saying with this random posting is that there are still good people with a sense of individuality in the younger generation, but they seem to be fewer and farther between with every new generation. Many are completely useless people, but don't turn on an entire generation because of the bad.

Remember, sometimes you have to dig through a whole lot of Bud Lights in the cooler before you find that one Guinness or Molson that's actually worth the time to sit and savor.
