Its a shame out teens think thy have to drink to have fun, i been there done that as a kid my self, and i was just lucky i don't not get in trouble over it. I think when teens get caught the law should give them lots of communality service work and if you can find who bought the booze fine the living hell out of them or maybe some jail time.

The behavior of "our" teens is the business of the teenagers' parents. If parents won't take responsibility for their childrens' behavior; then the business transfers to law enforcement and the courts.
As to why teenagers embrace risky behavior, if you have to wonder, you don't watch TV, read magazines or take in movies. In fact, you must live in a very secluded fallout shelter!
I would venture that this scenario has been revisited ever since alcohol was first served. When adults cease to drink, children will not be far behind.

You gotta fight
For your right
To Party

Your pop caught you smoking man he said no way
That hypocrite smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag
Now your mom threw away your best porno mag...Busted

You gotta fight
For your right
To Party

You gotta fight

Toss you out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear
I'll kick you out of my home if you don't cut that hair
Your mom busted in and said what's that noise
Aw, mom you're just jealous it's the beastie boys.

You gotta fight
For your right
To Party

Richard, I offer a short but sweet response :
"NO sleep til Brooklyn...."
Beastie Boys !

They're dancin' on the ceilin'
They're dancing' on the floor
People everywhere comin' through the door
They know there's a party goin' on
Do the dancin' n romance all night long
I know it's cold outside
C'mon baby, keep you satisfied
All you gotta do is move
Every time you feel that groove
Ain't nothing' but a party
Ain't nothing' but a party
Ain't nothing' but a party
Ain't nothing' but a houseparty baaaaaby

William, why??????
