The danger of MySpace turning teenage parties into apocalyptic gatecrasher magnets has had parents scratching their heads. But even with security guards, wristbands, and a strict guest-list a party can still end in carnage, writes Monica Fuller in our reader’s column.
One neighbour will not talk to me since the party. The fact is that what happened outside the party was not in our control. MSN and Myspace sends out messages at the speed of light about where a ‘good’ party is being held and so they storm the gates.
What of their parents though? Where do they think their 16 and 17-year-old children are? One parent dropped off four boys aged 16-17 and one was wasted with alcohol, and they were not on the list. Just dropped and left with no knowledge of their safety.

Read this earlier and think its hilarious, this woman’s clearly a complete arse! Hiring security, creating a guestlist, ID bracelets for guests like a festival, and she thought all this would make it a low-key event with no gatecrashers?! :you_crazy. And she blames the “stupidity of youth!” :laugh_at:
I was the sort of kid who would have turned up for the challenge haha!
raaa
read this one earlier in April :you_crazy
A 17-year-old girl has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage in connection with a house party which left a family home wrecked. About 200 youngsters damaged Alan and Elaine Bell’s home after the party was advertised on the website MySpace.
Guests are alleged to have urinated on a wedding dress and stolen jewellery from the house near Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, on Easter Monday.
Durham Police said the girl had been questioned and released on police bail.

“Inside was rocking, the DJ was excellent and my friends were doing a good job of making sure all handbags stayed in a secure area in the front room.”

:laugh_at:
jesus sounds like a right fun party
“I have never dropped my daughter and her friends off at a party without seeing them inside”
jesus … thatd be the worst

she insists i eat, got to keep me strengh up she says haha 🙂
i love my mummy :love:
I think we’ve all gatecrashed parties as teenagers – in my high school days the goths would never invite me and my mates as we were “casuals” (1980s version of a chav – and they didn’t like our music
so we’d gatecrash their parties… and yes we’d lark around and go through the house and move stuff about, or do things like turn out the electric in the middle of the night and put the house in darkness, but there was never that vindictive a level of property damage when I was younger… no one, not even the worst of us would have knowingly destroyed family heirlooms such as wedding dresses..
nor would the more scatological stuff be directed at peoples houses (those who did such things, saved this for the school toilets and buildings of high school -we didn’t hate our classmates enough to really trash up their houses.
Eventually the goths started inviting us to our parties, and then the year after I left high school (1991) it had totally changed, if you were into dance music and knew someone even with a set of belt drive decks or just a collection of mixtapes you were suddenly one of the most popular people in town…
The thing is, is when you go to a party with loads and loads of people there, people start getting a “fuck it, im drunk/high, feel like goin nuts and this shit isnt mine so i can just senselessly destroy the place.” It’s quite funny if its someone you dont know i have to admit it (i havent ever done anything really bad though btw).
But i remember goin to a party which was over by 10:45 because the person whos house it was had drunk so much he was paraletic, and the house was getting TRASHED. Pretty good while it lasted.
A freind of mine said he went to a party which ended in everyone stealing anything they could as they left. including FAMILY PICTURES!!!!! Whats the point? you’re just stealing memories!!!
one lad at our school had a party when his olds were away and apart from all the other damage, someone was skating upstairs, popped an olloie and came through the ceiling into the front room… fat lad
the bad old days :yakk:
:laugh_at: :laugh_at: :laugh_at:
where i used to live if you put on a party it was expected people you didnt there would turn up … loads of damage, fights and me mate getting ‘clotheslined’ by an actual clothesline … suppose you shouldnt run into them then a? haha
