God damn, Escapist. I fucked up. I fucked up real bad.

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

Personally, I hate parties. I hate people. Persons are okay, People are shit.

First post and this ^

I hate...hate parties. I would be the last to attend one and I haven't even entertained the idea that I would throw a party. In all honesty, you threw the party, so the aftermath is your responsibility and you have to deal with the repercussions.

Dude, doing stupid shit is the whole point of being young. Enjoy your lack of accountability as long as you can, bro. Being grown up sucks ass.

that attitude is what will make him just as much a fuck up as an adult as he is now, this mentality seemed idiotic to me as a kid and it still looks idiotic to me now

Yeah see the difference between you and me is I have faith in humanity. Not that that's necessarily good or smart, but I just assumed he'd blossom into a better and smarter adult later, who's deeper and more interesting for the mistakes he made as a callow youth.

while i commend you on your worldview, realistically that wouldn't happen, he'd just have "cool stories" for his equally f'd up buddies

 

[Tdc2182]

Outrageous.

You didn't smoke enough weed.

But for reals, just tell them it was a once in a lifetime thing and you realize how stupid it was.

Never host a large party at your house. Leave that for the rich dumb popular kids.

 

[tobi the good boy]

I wouldn't be in a situation like this, I'm not retarded. Seriously your justification was "But I REALLY like parties"

Deal with your issues brought on by your stupidity, don't high tail it and I hope you have enough brain cells left to realize not to do it again.

 

[TheLoneBeet]

I think it's your fault. I hate to be an asshole, but you are responsible for the party and it's actions.

Exactly this. I don't usually host parties but when I do the first thing I establish is that if something is damaged the person will either fix / replace it or they can't come back in the future.

I learned this the hard way though. Things usually get broken or stolen at parties. It's the way people are. The best thing to do is to invite a more controllable crowd (less people) preferably made up of closer friends you can trust not to fuck around. Also enlist the help of anybody who isn't drinking (or becoming intoxicated in some other way) to help keep the drunks from destroying things.

I'm sure your parents will forgive you eventually and next time let them know you're having a party. Most parents are more pissed that they were lied to or tricked than they would be to find something ruined.

"Realistically" either scenario is possible, and both happen every day to real people. Neither of us know the kid well enough to accurately judge which is more likely. It's not a question of what's more "realistic."

 

[Magicmad5511]

You REALLY shouldn't have thrown a party without permission in their house. I now you live there but unless you pay the bills its their house. I'd get on your knees and beg for forgiveness.

 

[Neverhoodian]

Wow. People who are saying things like "you shouldn't be drinking till you're 18!" or "You shouldn't eeeeevvvvveeeerrrr drink because fun is illllllogical!" looks like they're either 65, or a Fuckin nerd who couldn't fill a broom closet with friends.
I'm a" fuckin nerd" who has, had parties when I was a wee teen, and my house it still standing, my parents didn't disown me.

He's a teenager, tennagers do stupid shit. Apologize, pay for what damages you can and help out as best as you can.

I hardly ever drink, most of the "parties" I've been to are of the birthday cake and ice cream variety, and I regularly get together with a group of close friends that are the same way. And you know the funny thing? We have tons of fun.

If that makes me a "fucking nerd," then I'll wear that title proudly.

The issue here isn't so much about underage drinking as it is the betrayal of trust. If the OP wants to drink himself under the table then that's his business, but not if it ends up causing problems for a third party (in this case, his parents). Yes it could have been much worse. Yes we all made stupid decisions during our teen years. That doesn't mean we're not qualified to offer our input however.

 

[No-one Special]

You're an idiot and a coward.

First off, you're 17, so you shouldn't even be drinking in the first place. Just because everyone does it doesn't make it right. Your parents are mad at you now, as they should be, and you don't want to face the consequences. Man up, stay at home and take what ever punishment they dish out. You want to be a big man and drink? Deal with the outcomes.

You're not a swell guy. You're just another 17 year old who thinks he's an adult. You're not. Your parents have every right to be ashamed of you because you acted like an idiot. What would you have done if that fire didn't stop at the table? I'm a 20 year old male and I'M ashamed people like you exsist.

Stay home and cop it you sook.

 

[Craorach]

You are an idiot for having the party in the first place.

Appologise, stop partying, pay every cent you have and can earn until you've covered all the monetary costs and move out as soon as you can since your parents obviously cannot trust you to follow the rules of living under their house.

 

[Greatjusticeman]

I never threw a party, but I know some friends who did and pretty much ended up in the same situation you did, if not worse.


It'll suck for a week or two, according to them. But once you have all the initial arguments down and take your punishment, things will improve.

 

[soliddensity]

In times like this I always like to recite the old line from Braid.

"If we've learned from a mistake and become better for it, shouldn't we be rewarded for the learning, rather than punished for the mistake?"

Of course you'd have to prove that you actually learned from your mistake and running away isn't really the best way to do that.

 

[teebeeohh]

rule of thumb: if you run a party at a house that is not your own DON'T DRINK. because you will have to stop people from messing up. Or heard them all into one general area so you can have an eye on them.

 

[Anezay]

Fun always comes at a price. It's your responsibility to make sure you can afford it.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

Oh wow, you really screwed the ppoch on that one.
I suppose their is only one thing to do...
give you motherly reassurance.
There there dear, it will be okay, everything is going to be just fine.
To be honest i've never been to one of these parties and i don't have enough friends to throw one, but what i can say is burn down your friends tables!
That might help...
or not.
Uhhh... apologize deeply and behave immaculately for a while, perhaps do some volunteer work?
Sorry what was i thinking...

 

[Tiger Sora]

Just have them know that you sincerely apologized. Your a kid, and you do stupid shit. I'd like to hear the stories of dumb stuff your mom and step-dad did as kids. Because trust me, everyone has a story.

Your just having yours.

 

[Pharsalus]

Sounds like you've got some dick friends. But now that it's done you should just stick around and face the music, repairing broken trust takes time and effort.

Also, your just dumb for leaving grass sitting around man.

 

[BrownGaijin]

When has throwing a party while people are away ever turned out okay? Hasn't TV taught us anything?

I second that motion, along with this:

Spoiler

Edit: Oh, yeah kids, the word of the day is AWAY.
