Ok...i'm 16, my parents are going away and my aunt is staying with us. She already told me i could have some people over, like 10ish...and that we could drink.
Should i do it?? I'm a little worried about being caught, but i feel like if we're careful we wont get caught....
Advice??? I feel like its all a part of being in highschool :)

If they say no then politely turn down your Aunts offer and go with the suggestion of a slumber party with no alcohol. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]

How about having a slumber party with your friends?
If you're a girl, rent some great movies, get a couple cartons of ice cream and tubes of cookie dough, and go crazy!

Surely you've no reason to hide it or be scared if you've already got permission to have people over and you can drink? Unless it was a typo and you meant to say you can't have people over?
I had a party when my parents were gone and Imanaged to hide it really well till a week later when they eventually found out. Turned out it was someone down the street who told my parents. They were okay with it tho in the long term but then I was older than you at the time anyway AND, more to the point, if things went wrong they knew I can deal with it.
If they said no then its up to you but I wouldn't suggest it unless you plan to tell them afterwards since they may find out afterwards anyway. IF you have people over though make sure you prepare for it especially if alcohol is going to be available. When friends get drunk they can get out of control so anything that's breakable and expensive should be put someplace out of the way in a safe place. All rooms you don't want people going into should be locked shut (this way you can keep a track of where everyone is as well). If people are going to smoke ensure they do it outside (last thing you need is cig burns on furnature) and the most important of all - make sure you can handle the number of people coming. This is probably most important of all. I had invited only 15 or so people and had 25+ turn up because friends told other friends and they told more freiends etc, etc. Most of them were high to and in groups (5 vs 1 when you're trying to kick someone out is not good odds) but I hardly look like someone who can't handle myself as well as having a dozen guys who were close mates around at the time so it made for easy kick outs when I had to boot people out.
All these are things you will have to ensure you have covered. :] Other than that if you have permission then by all means have a get together with some mates - it's always a great laugh. :D
Oh and for the record yup I had to boot a group of guys out. They turned upwith one my friends I invited over (a girl who was at a concert before gettin to mine so she probably told them of the house party while there and drunk/high) and since she was too out her mind to really know what she was doingor on about these guys thought they would stay over with her to 'look after' her. Was at this point I told them to either walk out the door or I'd have to call them the medics to carry them off. Suffice to say they left peacefully and my mate was fine the next morning (albeit a hangover as well as not remembering anything about those guys or who they were).

Wow. If you are asking strangers if you should drink, then obviously you aren't mature enough to.
I think your aunt is testing you. She is giving you the temptation to see if you will or not. I think so anyways. You probably shouldn't drink, you risk you're aunt telling your parents. Also, just think of how proud your parents will be to learn that you were offered beer and turned it down. [ tommys_baby's advice column | Ask tommys_baby A Question ]
