My friends are pressurizing me to have alcohol at my sweet sixteenth?!
Answers: my sweet 16th is coming up in april and i am going to have a house party. but two of my friends are saying they can bring alcohol if i want. i do want it but my parents would kill me if they found out i was sneaking alcohol into my party. and i also want my 16th to be special and i wanna have alcohol. anyways we're not going to drink a lot. only a few bottles of WKD. and that isnt very strong anyway. so i was planning for them to put the bottles in their bags then i can pour it into some glasses and then they put the empty bottles back in their bag, and my parents would never know! and i wanna have alcohol because it would make me look cool, and i dont want to be a party pooper! do you think i will be able to pull it off and have a brill partay?
I say go for it, you only turn 16 once.
Don't have the alcohol... if your parents found out you might be grounded for life!!!
You will never pull it off, remember that alcohol has an odor.
Your also too young.
Being cool now, doesn't mean anything, within a few months no one is going to remember your party, there only gonna remember the booze.
Gossip spreads, your parents are going to find out anyway.
Since it's a house party, someone's bound to leave some evidence of alcohol behind and your parents will find out.
You won't know how you or anyone will react to the alcohol, some people may get very sick.
My best advice is to not have alcohol, If they were your real friends they would understand.
If your friends are pressuring you to do something you don't want to do, no matter what it is, you don't have very good friends. You need to put your foot down and just say "no, this is not something I want to do."
Stand up for yourself and your beliefs.
Take care and God Bless!
your parents could get in trouble by the law if one of the kids parents found out and reacted by calling the law
its much safer just not to have any alchohol at all
if you have it and get caught you definantly wont look "cool"
Pass on the booze
It's really not that cool
You and your friends only want to drink because you are 5 years away from doing it legally.
Will it be worth it if a friend dies in a crash on the way home, or gets alcohol poisoning and ends up in the emergency room, or you get caught and grounded until you are 18?
Sure, I got drunk when I was about that age. In hindsight, it was stupid and totally not worth it.
Tell your friends to forget it. Kids your age will look up to you for being a leader instead of another sheep in following.
If you're trying to prove you're grown up, stop thinking like a child.
WHTA THE HELL MAN YOUR SUCH A FOLLOWER A 15 GOING 16 YEAR OLD PERSON WOULDN'T GIVE IN TO PEER PREASURE AND BY THE WAY THE WORD COOL MEANS PPL WHO ARE DUMB YOU KNOW IF THE POLICE FIND OUT YOU MIGHT EVEN GET CHARGED THERE FORE YOU WOULD GET IN TROUBLE WITH YOU PARENT S AND THE POLICE AND WORST OF ALL THAT WOULD STAY IN YOUR PERMANANT RECORD ,SO THAT WOULD MEAN YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE OUT OF THE COUNTRY (SOMETIMES) AND IT WON'T GIVE YOU AN EDUCATION IF YOU GET HOOKED UP ON IT. BY THE WAY PPL WHO DRINK CAN DIE FROM HEART ATTACK CANCER (IF YOU HAD LOTS OF ALCOHOL)
I really think you should think about what your doing. Man if your parents catch you, Your soooooooo dead. Besides you don't need to have alcohol to have fun. Don't give in just because your friends want it ether. Think about it . Your the one that's going to take the fall. Be smart. : )
Let's define why you want to sneak alcohol in your party.
You want to look cool? how cool would it be when you're wasted, if you take alcohol to look cool then that's the stupidest thing I ever heard. Sure it does look cool, depend on how you look at it. If you drink legally and responsibly then it's cool, if you drinking while you're a minor it could mess you up. I haven't touch any alcohol, About pulling it off, depend, alcohol has a distinguish smell that is very hard to get off and if your parent find out you won't be having a 17th party. So weight out the pros and cons, I know you will make a right decision ( I hope you do though). You're still young, why you want to try alcohol so soon. If you do, ask your parent if you can take a sip of the WKD. If they say no, then take that no like a man and don't do it. I think they're very nice enough to let you have a party at your house to be honest. But it's up to you whether to take that action. GOod luck
P.S about peer pressure, don't be a follower. Do what is right, and make sure it doesn't go against your conscience. Those you called " friend" are not helping if they are pressuring you to do thing that is harmful to yourself, or anyone else. Those are type of people I stay away.
To be honest with you, I am 20 years old and I haven't had a drink and I never plan on it. I'm not saying do not drink for your entire life, but try not to break the law if you can. I do not think that you can use the phrases/terms "alcohol," "cool," and "party pooper" in the same sentence. Alcohol really does not make you look cool. Trust me. I've seen it in people (especially being in college) and it really doesn't. If your friends get upset with you because you don't have alcohol (whether you want it or not), are they really that good of friends? You need to figure out what's important and responsible for you - sometimes you have to pass up what you "want" and do something else. And, personally, if you're feeling "pressured" into having the alcohol, in my opinion, you aren't completely sure that you want it there in the first place - or you wouldn't care what your parents thought and you obviously do. That is respect for your parents. Alcohol won't make turning 16 special. Having friends around you, having fun for a few hours...that will make it special. It's true that you only turn 16 once as one poster said, but do you really want to take the chance (a very good chance, that is) that you'll get caught/in trouble and then everything you remember about it will be bad? I really do hope you have fun at your 16th birthday, I do, but I also hope that you realize what's most important.
I'm a bartender... and a parent... Joseph said it best. Its not worth it. And its really not that fun. When you are mature enough to get a buzz on and enjoy an evening... yeah it can be fun.... but I see 21 year olds come in all the time to take shots for their 21st birthday, and first legal day of drinking. Most have drank for years, but they get hammered to the point that I have no choice to cut them off. They get safe rides home, puke all over, are miserable, and have brutal hangovers in the next morning. Doesn't sound like much fun to me.
DO IT
alcohol isnt going to make you cool, only make you look like an alcoholic
They are pressuring you - not pressurizing you. If they did that, they would be physically squeezing you to increase your internal pressure until you pop like a balloon. BTW, I have traced your identity through the internet and have sent your parents an email about you, so you'd better not go through with it!
A sixteen-year old drunk is an inexperienced drunk. That means they are going to act very stupid, possibly puke, possibly cry, and your parents will figure it out.
No.....you won't be able to pull it off. Alcohol makes one's lip loose....someone " WILL " talk. You're party will be ruined, you're parents will be in trouble with the law .....then you sit back and see just how cool you look and feel then.
