Tonight is familynight and I've known about it for about 3 days. I also got invited to go somewhere else with some of my friends. But the thing is that the place that I might go with my friends A LOT of people are going to. So it will give me a chance to mix and mingle with a lot of people and have fun. The place with my friends seem so much more fun that family night. But I don't know if I should just ditch my family for my friends? Can anyone help? What would you do? What is the right thing to do?

Have you ever heard of the saying "blood is thicker than water"?
For the rest of your life friends will come and go...of course a few will stay. Family will ALWAYS be there for you, and I think you should stick with them. Could you go out with your friends after? I understand how much you want to go with your friends, but do you want to hurt your family in the process?
I know alot of teenage kids roll their eyes at the thought of family night, but as you get older you will appreciate the fact that your parents want to spend time with you...and it is so important to maintain good family ties.
When I was a teenager I honestly thought that when I turned 18 I would leave home and never talk to my mom again (we fought all the time)...now that I'm 34 with my own family, my mom and I are like best friends. I treasure her soooooo much and wish that I didn't waste all those years fighting with her. Take care.
