What is the worst thing that happened at your teenagers party?

My daughter is pestering big time to host a party. She is 18. I am determined not to, for lots of obvious reasons.....
What is the worst thing that happened at your teenagers parties? I need ammunition.

Yeah these things get out of hand. My parents went away and I had what was meant to be a controlled small gathering. Seemed like half the neighbourhood turned up including the local gangsta bad boy. No idea how they found out as this is before social media. My house was littered with people I didn't know. My mum's jewellery was stolen, along with some money (only £20 but all I had to my name), expensive perfume, knives and they tried to steal the microwave (?). Just an all round nightmare.

I went to an EPIC party when I was 15 - it was the night Will Young won pop idol.

One girl got alcohol poisoning and the parents had to leave to take her to hospital and things descended into chaos. The CD player got stuck and would only play Nickelback, two people were snogging sitting on the sink upstairs and it fell off the wall. The weed dealer took a shine to my best friend and plied us with their wares and we were so stoned. There was a lot of puking in the garden.

So yeah, wouldn't host one as a parent Grin.

Our daughter was a dream, no drama's at all. Now if you were to ask my parents.........................................go on, I dare you!

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 26/10/2021 01:18

very loud talking and laughing in the tent (sleepover party in the garden) generated by one girl kept people in the house awake past 3am.
she wouldn't lower her voice despite being urged several times by both DH & then me.
frankly it was quite ridiculous behaviour from a 16yo. all the others were absolute angels, they also told her several times to keep it down.

pretty weak sauce🤣

My close friend in school had one of the craziest parties. Her mum was saying repairs would cost over 30,000. But this party happened while her mum was on holiday in Spain and after final exams so it was always going to be wild.

My Eldest had a fair few parties over the years
Some highlights include
His friends dressing up in my underwear & parading around the street
Someone puked in my BBQ
Someone shit in a Tupperware container & put in the freezer.

Badabingbadabum · 26/10/2021 02:22

I know of one where someone spraypainted 'thanks for the party' and her name and the date at the bottom of her driveway - which gave her parents and idea of what was to come when they got home!

I went to one where all the usual stuff happened like things poured in the fish pond, stuff burned from weed, doors broken, police. They never go well because teenagers are idiots.

We had many large drunken parties when my kids were teens. We could fit about 200 in the house and garden, and we often did . Many kids got horribly drunk, smoked weed, passed out in the shower , puked everywhere , had fights. My (adult) kids still say it was great to have such cool parents who allowed such mayhem without complaint !

Bogeyes · 26/10/2021 04:32

Your daughter can have as many parties as she likes when she gets her own place. Don't do it. It's your precious home and it will be ruined. Piss all over the bathroom floor. Weed smoking in the garden. If you want to annoy the neighbour...have a party

jamandmarmalade · 26/10/2021 05:10

waking up still drunk in a field full of about 20 tents broken bottles in a friend's pony field to the news that Diana had died. tbf none of us were directly responsible for that. we all staggered around stoned, drunk...it was like a scene from Shaun of The Dead.

however, the rest of all the other parties were so good bad i cannot remember to this day.

Don't have that party.

jamandmarmalade · 26/10/2021 05:12

p.s i do remember just the one tent caught fire. The ponies were fine.

notthemum · 26/10/2021 05:44

Teenage Dd asked me to stay out and she wanted a couple of seĺect friends round. How daft was I ? My money jar was stolen (I had hidden ìt under a ĺoad of clothes in my drawer)and a bloody great hole was kicked in the kitchen wall. Didn't have the neighbours round when I was back though, we lived in a flat so they can't have been that bad. But never did it again

Staryflight445 · 26/10/2021 06:06

Why does she want to host a party so bad? Is she going to cover the cost of any damages herself? That’ll put her off 😅

Pinkstars2501 · 26/10/2021 06:20

I don't have kids, but at the parties we had at my boyfriends (now DH) house weren't particularly nuts I don't think. They were normally when his parents were on holiday and they did know they were happening, they supplied the drinks for him and we all brought our own.

I think the worst things that happened were:
One guy sat on the side of the bath while drunk and didn't realise he'd sat on the shower curtain, slipped backwards and pulled the curtain and rail out of the wall.
There was a game of football (more like just kicking the ball back and forth between 3 of them, someone put the shed window in with the ball.

That was about it I think. Obviously we were all drunk, but there weren't any drugs or anything and that was as destructive as it got.

Pinkstars2501 · 26/10/2021 06:23

We were between the ages of 15-18 at the time, no chance of us getting into clubs even back then. By the time we were old enough to actually get in, we weren't bothered about clubbing or even drinking much to be honest. Maybe we'd got it out of our system early 🤷🏻‍♀️

Rainbowqueeen · 26/10/2021 06:34

Host child passed out within first hour. Another child broke and stepped on glass bottle. Blood everywhere. Ambulance would not come because there was no reason why he couldn’t be transported by car. His parents couldn’t be contacted. All guests had to leave while host parents had to take injured guest to emergency.

Slightly off thread but my nearly 16 yr old has never been to a party because of covid. I wonder if this generation will go mad when they get the chance

sandgrown · 26/10/2021 06:49

My friend lived on a farm and word got out about a small party . Lots of lads turned up shouting at the door . We were leaning out of the bathroom window telling them to go away when a glass jar went straight through the top of the only toilet just above the water line ! We had to get the police to get rid of the gatecrashers .

My 16yo hasn't either - there's a college party next weekend in the next city - she's too scared to go because of all the horror stories she's heard about parties. If she'd been to a few with her old school friends I don't think she'd have part fear.

The worst party around here happened when the parents left a 16yo alone fir a week while they went abroad. The first sign that things were getting out of hand was when the microwave landed in the next door neighbours garden. Then the local hard boys turned up and decided to help themselves to whatever they wanted, including jewellery, and most of the party hosts clothes. (From what I hear he had far more designer clothes than most 16yos) There was swinging from the ceiling lights, which resulted in them being pulled down...basically the house was trashed. The lads friends decided it was all a bit much and left the p

LynetteScavo · 26/10/2021 07:03

party lad to it. That was back in 2019.

I would expect 18 year olds to be better behaved than 16 yo's but I'm probably a fool.

GnomeDePlume · 26/10/2021 07:16

DD2 has had a couple of parties.

For the first we said 'no spirits'. Came downstairs the next morning to find that they had tidied up (in a teenager sort of way)! DD2 had provided lots of party food to absorb alcohol.

For the second all went well until it was found out that the boy with the most strict parents hadn't been drinking water all evening, instead he had been drinking neat vodka. He ended up throwing up everywhere. Even DH (experienced party goer) said it was the most drunk person he had ever seen. Ambulance and parents got called when he passed out completely. Parents were all set to blame us until they realised that it was only their DS who was flat out drunk. That was about 5 years ago I suspect the lad is still gated now!

Frankzappa22 · 26/10/2021 07:20

CDs microwaved - cool sparks but destroyed microwave
Carpet ruined and needed replacing - cost over £2,000 (late 80s)
Tv and mother’s jewellery stolen

Sunsetdive · 26/10/2021 07:25

The worst thing at a teen party I attended was that someone threw an aerosol can on the barbecue, it exploded and blew a hole in the wall of the house and the police and fire service arrived shortly after. Luckily no serious injuries from that one.
Various A&E visits from drunken injuries and alcohol poisoning.
A couple of 17yos having sex in the middle of the stairs while people were wandering up and down to the toilet, not classy.
And so so much vomit.

TheBlackArt · 26/10/2021 07:28

DH went to one party as a teen where two of his mates had a fight, and one pushed the other one so hard that he fell into a wall and caused a massive, human-sized hole in the plaster.
