All of this discussion has gotten me to thinking, will it be me next? Ive seen many luives ruined by drugs and alcohol, and even at the young age of 13Some of them have been friends... HAVE. They aren't anymore. To me a party is a place to have fun, to meet up with old friends, celebrate, meet new people, but if they start getting licked, well Iknow that it isn't good. Ive left parties and called home before cause there were drugs there, and I know that even though you just want to try it just this one time, you may be hooked for life and your future si screwed
I thing that putting the cars in the "pen" is a good idea, cept the only fence big enough to hold them here is the pasture. lol.

when I graduated in 1987, we had a "lock-in" for our graduation....the entire community of deer lodge supported this and many of the businesses and several individuals donated nice prizes/gifts to be given in this party!! It was held at the local "sports center" and the gym was locked at 9p.m.....noone in...noone out til 7 the next morning....no alcohol...just lots of games, booths, food, soda and sleeping mats everywhere....everyone who went won some sort of prize from t-shirts, sweatshirts, nike sneakers, vcr's (which were really getting BIG back then) to new televisions sets, cash and even a car donated by one business owner (who happens to own half the businesses on main street)!! It was a complete success, but do not know if this is something they continued to do, but is definitely something to think about for other communities!! Our little town had lost too many youngsters to alcohol and the townfolk simply did not wanna see it happen if at all avoidable!!

This kind of goes into the whole parents telling their kids to either call them or call a cab if they have been drinking with the promise that they will get no grief for it. I understand the concept of controlling the party since you KNOW the kids are going to be do thing partying no matter what you do but man does that leave you open for some major consequences if something does go wrong.
When I was in high school the chance for drugs or alcohol parties was always present and I really can say I didn't have a drop during highschool (I won't talk about junior high but that was just one time... Really it was) and drugs have never appealed to me. I can drink now and not go to any extremes and I think it is because it wasn't stigmatized in my family and it wasn't something done in extremes. My folks drank wine with dinner or beer from time to time if was brats or pizza and my dad and mom would sometimes drink one during the summer after a long days work. To this day drugs have never appealed to me... Heck, I get siclk when I have to bushhog the wild hemp that grows on this place. At least it is not as bad as the Jimson weed.
