<p>I invited people I wanted to go to my party on Facebook and only 18 people are actually attending, even though I know 550 people on Facebook.</p>
<p>I think the problem is because a lot of people are having end of the year parties and graduation parties on the same day as my party. But I'm still mad.</p>
<p>Does anyone have this problem, inviting a lot of people to their party but only a few are actually going?</p>
<p>I feel like a loner because many people have between 50-100 people attending on average, and the super popular kids have 300 people attending.</p>
<p>What are you guys doing for your graduation party? How many people are going to yours and what activities do you plan on doing?</p>
<p>I’m having the complete OPPOSITE problem and it’s kinda a big problem. I have 210 confirmed guests on FB alone… and my parents are flipping ****s about it.</p>
<p>Pah, graduation parties are so overrated. What’s so fun about a party where a bunch of teenagers are standing, swaying side to side every now and then, and eat Doritos and pizza? But hey, people are different, and I guess my “graduation” party would be considered lame to all the cool people. I plan to go on a two week Road Trip to Yellowstone and hike, camp out, and go river rafting. I would rather be spending a good time with those close to me rather than strangers.</p>
<p>^ I’m just stating what I think about “teenage” parties. Honestly, there is nothing cool about parties at all, unless there is a drunk guy going crazy on someone’s lawn. It’s just bothers me so much how so many teenagers have to believe that a party MUST include the cool and popular kids with 200+ guest in order to be awesome. That’s so typically Hollywood and cliched of the teenage population. I would rather have mischief with a bunch of close friends and having fun in a place that’s cool and I could be as wild and be myself where no one could judge me for who I am. Rather in my house holding the hair of a girl who is totally wasted over a toilet, and bunch of strangers running around my lawn with loud obnoxious music. But, hey like I said, everyone is different. :]</p>
<p>^ OK you’re pretty much generalizing like 15% of teenagers to all teenagers, which isn’t fair. Believe it or not, a lot of people DO have parties that don’t involve alcohol. And are you saying you can’t be yourself when more people are around?</p>
<p>^ Whoa, whoa let’s back track a little here. What I’m trying to say is that I find a lot of BIG parties ( with people 300+) to be a little annoying. I use to go to them a lot, but after a while it just become to repetitive, am I right? You do the same thing over and over again. Go over someone’s house, party like a rock star, and drink. As for all teenagers not drinking, I just want to ask where had you been? I’m a dry person, but almost everyone I know have a shot every other weekend. Its very common for teenagers to drink beers nowadays, and if you want to argue that, pm me instead. As for being myself, remind yourself that you’re in a party. The eyes of about dozens of kids are on you, and do one mistake and gossips would race throughout your school like fire. One bad joke, some stupid mistake, hooking up with some random person, and that’s on your personal social high school life. But, I might be mistaken, I’m not stating that ALL teenagers do the following. Yours could be very different from mine, and maybe your parties in your neck of the woods are different too. Let’s not take everything I type too seriously. :]</p>
<p>Alright, you’re gonna hate me for challenging you so much but whatever.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Usually not the case. Like I said, most parties don’t have alcohol regardless of the size. We only hear about the big ones with the really popular kids so that’s how we learn to associate parties with drinking. No one ever talks about the lesser known parties. Most of the parties I’ve been to didn’t have alcohol. (And I consider myself relatively popular too)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m in a good crowd, but we’re definitely not losers. And I do drink on occasion but honestly most of the people don’t do it “all the time” like you seem to think. People DO lie about their drinking habits, ya know.</p>
<p>But yeah regardless, I support your decision not to have a graduation party kinda. Everyone’s party is just one in a million others.</p>
<p>^ No, sir I would not hate you for you challenging me , but I would like to point out that I think we’re having a very big misunderstanding.
I was just talking about big parties from the past three post, not the small tiny ones. The personal parties with the familiar " circle of friends" is very different from the super big ones. These are the type of parties I attend, and like. Usually, since this party is so small and versatile almost everyone could pack up and go somewhere. I was stating that big parties are over rated in lieu of the OP who is concerned about her/his party size. I was trying to get the point that a small Graduating Party with close friends is more memorable in the years coming versus a super big one with strangers and the " Cool Popular Kids."
The drinking issue is a muddy gray area, I think some teenagers drink to excess, and some don’t. Not every body drink constantly, but a huge group of teenagers who tend to go to big parties on the weekends do, not everybody but some. Its a topic best tackled in another thread, on some other time.
And lastly…
This is my whole point that I was trying to convey to the OP :]
You could only graduate from High School ONCE, so better make it as memorable in your own liking and fashion. Maybe, throwing a party with just your close friends would turn out to be better than first presumed.</p>
