Is it normal i don't like parties?

Im a teenager, I love being around people, im super extroverted, i like talking to new people and meeting new friends. I'm always the talking in class and my teachers get mad. I have tons of friends and i know most people at school, but whenever i get invited to a party or there are parties going on i really don't want to go. I just hate seeing my friends drink and smoke their lives away and i feel like theres more to life and fun than just getting intoxicated. I'm also opposed to it on a health basis. I think its super bad for you and i don't want to get involved. Also know im not some super naive kid who is new to this stuff, im 17 and i used to be just like them a about two years ago. Is it normal that i don't like parties for this reason?

Is It Normal?

  • Thank you for admitting your true age. You need to find friends with a mature attitude toward alcohol. Have a glass of white wine, keep track of your BAC, and enjoy the company of your friends whilst making intelligent contribution to the conversation.

  • Yeah it's normal. But it is always funny to watch drunk&high people act stupid. Although I'm usually the messed up person. If you don't like parties, don't go to them, I mean, you have college to get all crazy if you want to. As for not wanting to get involved, if a close friend asks you to go with them, usually it's not because they want you to get all fucked up, it's sometimes because they want someone to watch them, I mean that's usually why I ask a responsible person to come with me, so i don't rip my shirt off and like go streaking or something. :)
