My mother recently filled me in on this news item relating to an out of control teenage party and a follow up story from a Melbourne mother who tried to throw a 'controlled teenage party'.
This poor woman wonders where she went wrong having hired security guards, issued numbered identity bracelets and filled in party registers etc etc etc.
The answer is half way down the article.
They had invited 100 guests.
What 15 year old teenager needs a party involving 100 guests? I mean it wasn't even her birthday! Most of the world struggles to pull that many people together for a wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This rash of mass media communication, MySpace, MSN etc leads children to believe they have that many friends but as is blatantly obvious from this article, few of these selfish, irresponsible oafs could truly be considered friends.
The manner of communication, on MSN and the like, is so shallow, brainless and mind numbingly repetitive (just how many times can you say f**** in one post?) that it can barely qualify as communication. This is NOT how you make friends.
At 17, my delightful and sensible parents allowed me to invite about 10 people over for a birthday party. Yes, a few of the lads smuggled alcohol in (note it was not PROVIDED!) and had to be spoken to, but on the whole we had a great time, had plenty to talk about on Monday and only had one or two spills to mop up off the carpet tiles.
Only allowed 100 guests indeed. WHAT is the woman thinking???????????????
