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

[Funkiest Monkey]

Wow. I hate to say it, man, but your friends kind of suck. They didn't even help you clean up?

Oh no, a couple of girls helped me tidy the garden while most were asleep/passed out. Then when most of the people had gone (some were still passed out or incredibly hungover), me and my best friend went on a cleaning frenzy. Still, no way to cover a fire-damaged table which is in the middle of the garden.

Don't do it again. That is all you can do.

Here's the funny part: I moved a metric fuck-ton of things into my parent's room so they wouldn't get damaged at all. My games consoles, my bass, all the ornaments and pictures... I did not anticipate a fire in the garden.

Way to go there ace.

Hey, when in Rome... Right?

 

[SailorShale]

Wait, the whole "Hey, let's throw a party when my parents are gone!" thing happens in real life? I thought that it was TV nonsense.

Anyway. Just don't bother them, and let the wounds heal over time. Attempt to regain their trust once they feel like speaking to you.

 

[Worgen]

your gonna have to suck it up and be ashamed for awhile, they will eventually forgive you but you will be lucky to be left home alone again anytime soon and they will probably be keeping a close eye on you

By all means step away for a day or two, let things cool down a bit, but on your return, I'd advise sitting down with the more sensible and rational one of the two of them, and try to talk it out, take the responsibility for your actions, admit guilt where it's deserved, and try to make them believe that the drugs were not yours.

I imagine apart from the damage, the main concern for your parents is the drugs.

I don't know how well off you are, but if you've not left them in a financial hole, doing some chores and helping around the house would show some good, if you can't cover the cost of the table, and I know I couldn't when I broke stuff by being silly.

In the end, they're your parents, and they want to sort it out and get past it and they'll still love you.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

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

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

Exactly this, to a tee.

Plus your avatar is awesome.

 

[Zakarath]

Well, not to be a stuck-up asshole, but this is kind of why you don't go and throw a drunken party when your parents entrust you with the house.

sorry but i dont do shit that obviously fucking stupid, once the drink come out and that weed, their asses would be out. dont care if they'd be pissed, i'd kick their ass out on the street in the rain.

Well, I don't mind drink. Hell, I was pretty drunk myself (as was everyone else)! And one of my best friends does weed (occasionally, not a pot-head or anything) and I really don't mind. However, I know a few people who do M-Kat (basically a cocaine alternative), and I don't approve of that shit.

im assuming that since you live with your parents you cant legally drink, problem 1
weed i also illegal and shouldn't be in any of ya'lls possession, problem 2 (note, i don't judge even though i dissaprove of it)
Your doing this behind your parents back, problem 3
you seemed to have invited more people than you can handle, problem 4
you also allowed them to be put in a situation to where they get sick or burn shit, problem 5

thats 5 errors in one move you made..... Murphey's law doesn't even apply anymore.
the recovery period between you and your parents will be a long and ugly one.

i second that "this"

 

[infohippie]

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

TV has taught me that partying is really fun and awesome. I should probably watch less Jack Black movies.

Yeahhh.... Best thing to do is totally forget about parties for a while. Like a year or two. I'm serious. If they ever go away and leave you at home for a week again you'll have to be able to show them you're capable of not holding a party and trashing the place. And let's face it, at the age you and your friends are, a party will mean trashing the place. Especially with the maturity level your friends have shown here. So don't party for a good long time.
Also, a party does not mean everyone has to get wasted. Particularly seventeen year olds in the UK - you shouldn't be drinking for another year anyway except under parent's direct supervision. TBH, if I were the parents in this situation (and I'm damn near old enough to be) I wouldn't let you out of my sight for the next year.

 

[Outright Villainy]

It's weird, I hear of crazy parties like this, but none of my friends set fire to shit or anything like that. I don't know how anyone, even when drunk, could do that and not feel like a total asshole. I'd chew your "friends" out.

That said, it is kinda your fault. The only thing to do is ride it out. They'll get over it eventually, it'll just take a couple of months.

 

[Biosophilogical]

Persons are okay, People are shit.

^This^. So many times ^THIS^.

OT: It is your fault. Unless you have been living in a cave for the past billion or so years, then you'd know exactly how parties like that end. Seeing as you said you love parties, then I'm assuming you've been to one before, so I assume you haven't been living in a cave for the past billion or so years.

It. Is. Your. Fault. Man up and accept the consequences.

 

[Instinct Blues]

I think you should apologize to your parents profusely until they find it in their hearts to forgive you for basically destroying their home as well as their trust in you. Also probably cut back on the partying for a while to rebuild that shattered trust.

 

[CaptainLoserPants]

What did you think would happen? Honestly, you brought this on yourself. Beer, young people=disaster. You should feel ashamed. But learn from this.

 

[Funkiest Monkey]

Pop down to your nan's house for a while give it a couple of days to sink in with your parents then come back and say sorry then it will all be cool.

This is my plan.

Oh, it was mainly this one guy's fault. I'm REALLY pissed off at him. He didn't even help clean up, and one of my friends told me he was laughing and joking about it straight after. I mean, he didn't even put out the fire, he left it and thought it was hilarious.

 

[Funkiest Monkey]

Well, maybe at my own house, yeah. But there's gonna be a hell of a lot of parties to attend this summer.

 

[Neverhoodian]

I would strongly suggest that you stay put and man up to your actions. It might be a good idea to lay low in your room for a few days, but don't try to escape the house altogether. Running away from your problems won't make them go away, and in this case it would just make things worse.

Offer to pay for all the damages. ALL OF IT. If you don't have a job right now, either promise to pay them once you do (and make sure to be true to your word) or do whatever you can to scrounge up some cash performing chores for neighbors or something. Demonstrate that you are truly sorry for what you did by staying on the straight and narrow and being considerate of your parent's wishes. Just remember that old adage, "time heals all wounds."

I know this is probably unnecessary at this point, but I feel it must be said:

DON'T EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS AT YOUR PARENT'S HOUSE AGAIN. EVER.

If you're going to invite stupid friends over that are just going to trash the place, you could at least wait until you've moved out so it's YOUR shit they'll trash.

Personally I've never understood the appeal of getting shit-faced and acting like a moron myself.

EDIT:

Also probably cut back on the partying for a while

...Really? REALLY?! Do you really think that's going to help your standing any with your folks?

...REALLY?!

 

[Zarmi]

Honestly...? First, apologize to your parents for abusing THEIR home, their stuff. Secondly, you freakin' deserve the trouble you got, preferrably more. What the hell were you thinking? This is my main problem with teenagers these days. They just don't think. You're a straight up dumbass in my book, sorry to say.
