Partying a Sin or Fun?

My parents did not let my sister or me go to parties, and they kept us from a lot of other stuff. But neither her nor I ever turned rebellious. Once we got out of our parents house, we didn't really feel a need to sow wild oats. I guess a lot of it depends on how much one is susceptible to peer pressure?

I think everything done in moderation is fine. So long as the "partying" doesn't include illegal activities it should be fine. Also, drinking of alcohol is out of the question in people under 21. I think you can party and have fun without having those kind of things. I do it all the time:)

Partying done with discipline is fun. Unwinding in the form of parties is fun.

Parents: don't forget, you were young once.
Kids: don't hurry growing up, once you're there, you'll wish you're younger again.=)

I think people make everything into so much more than it is. I don't believe in the concept of sin, so I certainly don't think partying is a sin. It's just fun. I mean if by "partying" you're doing hard drugs or being destructive or violent, then that's a problem. But most people judr get drunk, dance, and socialize. Big deal. It's just fun. And I don't think it matters that much if you do it young, either, depending on to what degree. I mean if teenageres drink, that's fine as long as they are in dangerous situations. I don't think having a little fun corrupts you or anything. I don't understand parents who are excessively protective. I mean you should keep your kid safe but they should also have some life experiences and an accurate sense of reality. It's ridiculous how sheltered and naive some kids get. I drank all through high school, and still do. My mom certainly didn't allow me but she wasn't overprotective so I got around it sometimes, and did other things too. I graduated high school with high honors and now go to a good college, so it evidently didn't mess me up. There is one problem, though. When my old best friend and I were younger, like 14 or 15, we hung out with some really shady people to be able to get alcohol from them. That was the worst of it- not the fact that we drank but the people who were in our lives for us to get it.

Partying is fun, and it depends on the kind of partying that determines if it's a sin or not! Sure it affects youth's minds. Parents have to have some type of "wall" for their kids, so they can figure out what's right and what's wrong, or what's too much partying, and what's just right. Take care!!
