Parties...

[Blazin Bones]

What are your school's parties like? Do you Go to them?

 

[FuzzyWeasel]

Well we have 'socials' where we meet on a Friday night and go do something, depending on what the social is. There's one this Friday called 'Partay in the Bahamas' and they have inflatables and stuff in the gym and you wear pirate costumes and there's food and stuff. I've only been to one of the three we;ve doen so far - one seemed pretty stupid, and I couldn't go to the other, but I'm goin' to the one this Friday.

Our school doesn't have parties, we have dances. Parties at our school are where all the kids go and drink beer and do drugs and have sex with each other. The worst part is that there are parents who let this happen in there own home and some of them join in on the "fun." Unfortunately I have been to one of these functions when I was a freshman. I didn't partake in these activities though... I just observed it all happen. This is a common occurrance every weekend at our school.

we have a place called "dawsons" where all the rednecks go to drink and go drive through the mudd and stuff but i try to stay away from people who attend parties and things. me and my friends go to the movies and stuff like that but no alcohol, sex or drugs are involved.

I definitely don't go to the parties. I don't know what all goes on, but I know for sure that there's a lot of alcohol. Cops usually follow. Fortunately there aren't many parties at my school, or at least not loud, noticeable ones.

What are they like?

~ A LOT of alcohol, resulting in most people being 'off their face'. That is their 'fun'. :roll:
~ Drugs
~ Many people 'making out' (or going even further ) with more than one person

Etc, you get the idea.

I haven't gone to one of these parties for a little under 2 years now. My peers idea of fun isn't even close to my own idea of it. I don't find drinking, drugs or 'hooking up' with who-knows-who desirable in the slightest and honestly, I don't want to take any part in it at all.

However, I feel as though I am being called to go to some of these parties again. I'm apart of the Salvation Army and awhile ago we were speaking a long the lines of, as the Salvation Army, we can't just wait for the darkness to come to the light. We have to go out into the darkness and bring the light to the darkness. However, it's very important that a person has victory over the sins that that person is bringing light too. So, if a person struggles with alcohol for example, and just can't say no to it, it'd be silly for that person to go and preach the good news in a pub unless He had gained victory over it.

God was speaking to my friend about this. She mentioned it to my friends and I the other day. When one of those parties comes by and one or more of us are invited, at least two of us will go. That way we can encourage, support and watch over each other and be firm on the reason why we're there - to go as almost a representive of Jesus, if you get what I mean. We wouldn't go for ourselves, but in hope to be open and jump at the chance of any opportunity to share our faith and live our lives in a way that glorifies God and allows others around us to see and know who we're living for without us even having to say much. Two or more of us who don't go to that party, or don't feel comfortable going to one will in that time be at home praying for the two or more that are at that party.

I really hope that this takes place. The only problem now is that I'm not invited to these parties anymore because people know that I'm not interested in them. When I gave my life to God, I drifted away from most of the people in my home group and classes who were into the things that I was trying to pull away from. So now I need to re-build the friendships that I once had with them, and get back 'in' without actually being apart of their worldy ways etc.

I'll have to finish this here. I'm going to help put the groceries away. =)

School parties happen in peoples home, and usually there are alot of alcohol. Sometimes ive heard of drugs being used and i assume that there are many promiscuous activity there...but i dont go to such party. These kinds of party to me is very shallow and meaningless, so i dont bother engaging myself in them. Although i have been tempted to go a couple of times...but that was mainly through peer pressure

I don't go to a lot of them, because I don't like parties. Too many people, too loud, too close.

I do get dragged to some, though. I just don't understand how I always (ALWAYS) get beer spilled on me.

Our school sponsored dances, well, nothing exciting happens, save for some grinding and helpless chaperones. They tend to keep us all in one room, though, so no sex or anything. Little drinking, no smoking. Lot of sweat.

the fun one is an apartment with a few guys from an academic frat. Some classic rock music, Beer pong, and mild drinking. not the throwing up kind.

the ones I hate.

The frat where you pay 5 bucks to get in, wait in a hgue line for beer, and basically its a sausage fest. They have those corny "ceo and hoe" nights and such, but its a waste.
