when the cat is away the mouse will play

So my friend had a pool party at his place on friday night, because his parents were out of town. The minute I saw his house from outside, I was so afraid to even step inside with my shoes on, because of how perfect his house was. Not only was the house gorgeous from outside, but inside it was decorated so perfectly with what you can tell are expensive paintings, and rugs worth at least 1 grand each. I was in complete awe when I saw the pool, with a slide, cave and diving board. However, as most house parties turn out, this one became pretty wild too.

There were way to many underaged drunk people, who didnt know each other and way too many drunk guys which almost inevitably leads to fights. The guy whose owns the place, his cousin got punched in the face, had a black eye and got his nose crooked. Personally I feel like this always happens, when there is no adult supervision. (BUT who wants that anyways?) When my brother and I decided to throw a house party, we made sure we told our parents, my brother and all his friends are older than 21, so there was a 1:1 ration of legal and underaged drinkers and so no fights, no drama happened. If anything, at least our parents (though not in the house) knew everything that was happening.

My friends cousin had to go back to his parents and lie to them that he got into a fight by standing up to a girl...pathetic. House parties are always fun, and especially when the parents are out. But there should always be people who know how to handle themselves and control minor arguments that turn into big punches. Drunk people never know when to stop talking, and that always makes other people angry and therefore fights....just a story I thought I would share.

This is relevant to our class, because we are always talking about society. And house parties, especially in the summer are very common. However, they are also the most dangerous because most of the time there are too many youths packed under one roof with a lot of weapons. (knifes, forks, easily breakable bottles)
