Why would you party during high school?

<p>You’re too young, way too many irreversible damages are done to your body, and for the most part you’re looked down upon for Being dumb enough to place yourself in such dangerous situations. So why do you do it? Btw partying as in drinking, drugging, staying out late and possibly hooking up with who knows how many people. So why?</p>

<p>Because it is fun. Live a little.</p>

<p>But rock climbing, rollerblading, reading, learning , volunteering, that’s living. How is poisoning your body living?</p>

<p>I agree. If it’s with friends and it’s responsible, you’re not going to die. Getting drunk one night more than likely won’t kill you. I don’t do drugs, but I do drink. I think it is a good time to escape the stress in my life, and just relax and have fun. And it’s not like I go out trying to bang every girl at the party, I only hook up with a girl if we are talking, but I guess if you’re not responsible, it could be bad.</p>

</p>

<p>That… as long as you don’t overdo it</p>

6

<p>Yeah well it’s still unlikely that people go over their limit if they are recreational partiers.</p>

7

<p>That’s true too. It’s not like everyone who parties does it everyday haha</p>

<p>Honestly, why does it matter. There are plenty of people in my school that participate in those activities almost every day. Everyone knows that most of them are not going to get anywhere because they do not keep up with their studies at all. On the other hand, I know people (myself included sometimes) who take part in these activities sometimes (personally, I do not do anything illegal… but I still go out with my friends and have a good time), and them (including myself) are just fine because they keep up with their studies and do well. Can everyone do this? No. Does everyone want to live a partying life style? No. If you do not want this type of lifestyle, then don’t live it. Sure, you can say that they are neglecting their bodies and blahblahblah, but it’s their choice. There are more important things in life to worry about than why people are going out and drinking/getting high/having sex whenever they want. Get over it.</p>

<p>I can stop whenever I want to.</p>

<p>SOMEBODY really needs to get laid in this thread. . .</p>

13

<p>Lol I’m a girl? And getting laid is the last thing on my list as a high schooler. I’m not easy:)</p>

<p>I personally have never partied (I have never drank nor have I ever done any drugs including pot). However, I realize why people party…because such chemicals alter the mind easing stress and making a mundane environment more enjoyable. I don’t actively avoid partying, I just don’t associate with people who do because I’m focused on academics to a higher degree than them. I’m personally morally opposed to drinking and drugs, but I won’t condemn other who don’t view them as such and just want to have fun. The bigger issue is with if one’s partying habits distracts one from doing well in school. That’s just not worth it.</p>

<p>I think if you’re on this website you’re not going to find someone who says, “I do crack and binge drink every weekend, and hook up with x number of people.” I believe that’s really the only harmful way to party, unless you’re drinking and driving, giving someone a disease or making them a parent. When I party, it’s with a close group of friends. We’re responsible about it, and we don’t center our lives around it. It doesn’t affect our relationships with our parents or our gpa. So in my book it’s safe. I’m going to come out of adolescence okay.</p>

<p>LOL @ The Hairy Lemon</p>

<p>I have no problem with those who don’t party, but when people start making generalizations such as non-partyers have better morals than partyers, we have a problem. Just because I indulge in an alcoholic beverage every once and awhile doesn’t mean I am a bad person. I completely separate partying and school. I will never be under any influence in school, nor will I party if I know it will hinder my schooling in any way. As for the argument that it’s harmful to your body, my parents usually have a glass of wine every dat at dinner. Should they not have that wine because it hurts them? I think they are fine. If you drink every once and awhile and smoke weed every once and awhile, you will not do significant harm to your body. If you smoke two packs a day or become an alcoholic, you will do significant harm to your body. Partying once a week will not really harm you - unless you do drive drunk/high, which is terrible. I like what flowers said, even though I party I’m gonna come out of adolescence ok.</p>

<p>Most people who don’t party are incapable of partying successfully whether it be their physical appearance or something else. What have I been telling you people?</p>

<p>And this is coming from that token kid that looks like a bird and sits alone at the lunch table. At least I don’t make excuses. Harrumph!</p>

<p>^I thought people like the way birds look?</p>

<p>Birds are great.</p>
