I was a very boring teenager.
Shy, full of low self-esteem and nervousness..............however, I once planned on a small party with a few friends at my mum's agreement. For some reason it was cancelled a few days before but on the night around 30 or 40 people turned up, (this was before facebook etc), trying to get in. My mum was livid, even though I didn't know any of them.

I never threw any house parties when I was a teenager
As I'd been to so many of them that had got out of hand. It just didn't seem worth the aggro.

Yeap.
I'd have spent the entire time fretting and asking people to moderate their behaviour. Coupled with the fact I'd have needed to spend the next day cleaning the place, I don't see what is in a house party for the teenage host.

banging chicks in your own bed
that's the only thing I can think of.

I was a fat cunt though, so didn't even have that to make me have a party

I didn't even go to any parties when I was a teen.
My dad wouldn't let me, because he was a drug fueled maniac when I was a baby, he tried to keep me from all that. Because teens in rural virginia all smoke PCP.

Do they still? Or have people moved onto meth etc.?

This sounds like me
I would never have had the confidence as a kid to organise such a thing. Plus my dad was very strict and I would never have got away with it anyway.

Now I'm a dad myself I'm a lot more laid back than my dad was, but my kids know what they can and can't get away with. They're both very popular kids (11 and 13) but are also doing very well academically and are both very sporty. I'm not sure how that's happened to be honest but I think they know enough about drink, drugs, respect etc to know where the boundaries are.

Who knows what the future will bring though.
