<p>I've seen movies and tv shows that always show high school kids at a party where a bunch of drugs and alcohol are being used and eventually cops come and break the party etc... anyone here actually been to one of those and is it really that bad or just a sterotype?</p>
<p>i "party" a lot , but i've never been to one that was busted... mostly bc we're smarter than that here ;-)... but i prefer small groups... like 5-10 ppl, instead of those huge parties. its much less humiliating to be wasted in front of a few friends than your whole school, you know,,,, jussst in case it happens</p>
<p>A few, but I didn't get in trouble which is all that matters.</p>
<p>never been caught or busted</p>
<p>The ones that get broken up get broken up for a reason. The kids partying are stupid.</p>
<p>Its not that hard to have a party where no one gets hurt and no one gets busted, but sometimes those ones aren't as interesting :-P.</p>
<p>It does happen though. I know of parties where kids hid under beds in trash cans hopped fences, the whole 9 yards.</p>
<p>i got invited to a party once that had like 70 people and whole bunch of people getting drunk and i declined. havent been invited since...</p>
<p>i think it's moreso the media glamorizes it and such. i mean i've been to a few parties like that, and i don't really think it's that much different from a normal party. yes, people are a little more crazy and lose some inhibitions and do some stupid things, but yeah, i've never been to one where cops break it up and such. i really think it's who you party with, because i'm sure some parties can get really nasty and dangerous... just remember that if you do go to one, make sure there is a sober someone who is responsible for driving you home! or else just sleepover that night.</p>
<p>It's not like that here because nobody has a house in the city that you invite everyone to and party. Instead we have parties with about 10 people and we usually party in the middle of Union Square(and for some reason the cops don't notice the liquor). It's not too bad, nobody passes out(i've only thrown up once) and there aren't any hard drugs, blaring music or sex.</p>
<p>But I could imagine it could be like that in the suburbs?</p>
<p>HAHA, i could just imagine that in the city. I wish i lived there ='( </p>
<p>Parties involving kids at my school never get broken up. It's only the senior class that has parties anyway. I think kids in my school are smarter than having a very large party where fights would break out. It's impossible to have a large party anyway(you would have to invite my entire school) and with the exception of 3 people, noone ever gets completely plastered.</p>
<p>I feel like whenever I post it's about drugs and/or alcohol...I'm really not as bad as I sound :)</p>
<p>I've been to quite a few that have been broken up by the cops. The officer enters the house or whatever and asks everyone to leave and who the house owner is. Once in a while they stop the kids who are under 18 and have their parents pick them up, but I've never had that happen to me. </p>
<p>IMO the parties in the movies are always a lot more glamorous than the real thing...but people get drunk just the same.</p>
<p>hellllll yea.
but [in california at least] if you have a [sober] person 18 or older who claims to be the owner of the house at the door, they can't come in without a proven motive or w/e.
thats how we always get away.</p>
<p>ermm except for this one which involved 7 police cars, a helicopter, and lots of hiding [e.g.: under a bridge, in a bush, one kid jumped off a cliff into a river and broke his leg]</p>
<p>parties get broken up all the time where I live. Its very dangerous to attend a party with more than 20 people, and its always best that if you do go to have a plan of escape because the po po will come.</p>
<p>wow i'd like to hear the end of that story eugenia :)</p>
<p>Mix really rich people who have nothing to do with parents who are always away on business. What do you get? 100 people, a lot of liquor, a full basement, a plethora of drugs, and a thick cloud of pot smoke. Oh yeah, and cops who have nothing else to do except arrest teenagers. Some of the parties take place in my town could give Animal House a run for their money. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of sprinting through the dark trying to find a place to hide so that the cops don't catch me, which is how a lot of these parties end. Although, I must admit I've been to a few, none that have been broken up, luckily.</p>
<p>Heres a hint: DON'T HAVE PEOPLE PARK RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE!! It screams "underage party", and cops will notice.</p>
<p>Ya, like I'm gonna park down the block and have to walk all the way to the person's house. Pshhh.</p>
<p>^ lol. you say that now but after you get caught once you'll learn.</p>
<p>I'm usually sober during these parties. I only drink when I'm bored.</p>
<p>haha just for you surfette, here's the full story:</p>
<p>my friend was having a birthday party last year and she managed to persuade her parents to leave her home for the night and have a 'get together.' instead, she got her cousin from UCSB to supply her with tons of alcohol, hook her up with some really good DJ, and invite some older kids. living in an upperclass area with big houses and annoying neighbors, there were some troubles though. within about a 1/2 hour, the neighbors knocked on the door and told us to turn down the volume. the cousin from ucsb was our designated sober 18 year old, and he thought it would be hilarious to tell the neighbors to **** themselves and shut the door in their face. so, 10 minutes later a cop came by to tell us to not be loud. they didn't enter the house though, because it's not legal.
so, for the few CCers who actually have been drunk, you may have noticed that when you drink, you loose more than a sense of mobility -- your hearing gets messed up too. thus, we turned up the volume even more [to the dismay of the neighbors]. the cop came again. this time, he came inside to turn the volume down himself. thankfully for most people, we were in her backyard in her pool at that point, and only a couple people were drinking inside -- most of them 21 or with a fake ID. the cop found 2 kids who were drinking and drove them home.
as soon as the cops left, the volume went back up. except this time, some of the people at the party got rowdy and started playing 'who can get the most beer bottles over the fence and into the neighbor's backyard.' bad idea. an even worse idea was to start using drugs outside of the house. before this we just had a hookah going, so it was like legal and whatnot. but now, i think about half of the people there were popping extasy pills, and a couple were doing other crap of their choice. personally i've only smoked weed and don't do other drugs, so i just kept drinking, but everyone else got pretty wild.
some losers who lived on her street wanted to join in on the party, but they got turned down at the door. being douches, they decided to report it to the cops. at i guess the same time, the neighbors who had gotten bottles thrown in their backyard did the same. and the other neighbors who were complaining about the noise complained again.
i think this time 3 cop cars came, and surveyed the house. people decided to get in fights with these cops, and they couldn't handle all of the 50 or so people that were now at the party. a lot of people were really drunk, so they did **** like spill booze on the cops. it was funny. until the helicopter came.
they literally had a loudspeaker or something that told everyone to leave the house and come up front, where more cop cars were pulling up.
scariest moment of my life.
i was one of the few who escaped -- the only person who had not been drinking, the UCSB kid [ironic?] -- offered me, my friend [the birthday girl], and her boyfriend a ride out of the place. we got away, i think some other people just risked drunk driving and got away too. a lot of kids were arrested & whatnot. as i said, because there were so many people, some were able to hide. </p>
<p>yeaaaaaa.</p>
<p>this is why i only go to smaller parties now. or i just go clubbing :P</p>
<p>^^^Haha reminds me of an experience 2 nights ago.</p>
<p>No cops luckily though, but same scenario.</p>
<p>haha...wow a helicopter...i don't know what i would do. </p>
<p>i live in a small town and a lot of my friends' parents are police officers so my worst fear is running into one of them at a party when i'm drunk.</p>
<p>I'm the kid who brought her government textbook to her homecoming dance. And the only reason I even went was because I was crowned.</p>
<p>So to answer your question: no.</p>
