My parents found out that I party two years ago- despite my arguments they threatened me that they would stop supporting me in school if I went to another rave. (Thanx to the media promoting raves as "drug and gun infested sex orgies")

Basically their philosophy is that I can live my own life, so long as I'm fully independent. But so long as they are paying for my schooling I have to "do what they say or else"

I guess the right thing to do would be to start supporting myself and quit the "what they don't know won't hurt them" bullshit but I'm lazy.

hahaha, got any pics Pete?

I just can't picture what you would look like at the age of 15... don't tell me.......... candy kid?

haha

Yeah, my parents know I party. My mom doesn't really like the idea of me going to them but I don't think she really care's that much as long as I'm "careful". My dad doesn't care at all. He gives me his car so I can go to them. He likes seeing the pics afterwards. He says they look like fun

The topic of drugs has never been brought up though.

Well i have only been partyin for a short time, and its not like im out every weekend so my parents dont really care. I was at the hulla where the guy got stabbed , so my mom is more afraid of something like that happening then the drugs. I just dont mention the drug use, and she doesnt ask. I doubt she knows i do them. I just tell her that there is usually a way more thorough check at a party then at a club. So there is a better chance of something bad happening at a club over a rave.

Well, I'm 23, I don't live with my parents and I'm married, so if my parents wouldn't let me party I'd be pretty upset!

Seriously though, when I first started getting interested in the rave scene (1993) my parents were pretty much against the whole thing, I think they had seen that 90210 'rave' episode or something and already figured that after-hours events were drug and booze havens. So I played it cool and kept things on the downlow.

I only got 'busted' once as I was trying to leave for Syrous' "Total Recall," an event for which I already had a ticket. I tried for about twenty minutes to explain to my mom about the event and what it was and where I would be and who I would be with, but my mom didn't buy it. Since it was my parent's wheels I would be using to get there, it was a no go. I still have the blasted ticket.

My parents pretty much let me do anything ELSE I wanted, including staying out late, so I figure one little thing wasn't too much for them to ask.

Once I was 18 though it was a lot easier to get away with it, although my parents didn't like the idea of me being in 'those kinds of places' it wasn't like they were going to stop me.

I partied all the way through University and my marks were good, so my parents couldn't complain about my late-night habits. Since my wife (then my girlfriend) was just as into partying as I was, there was no pressure to stay out of the scene.

I appreciate now that my parents were trying to look out for me while I was still young and impressionable, although since I didn't use drugs I thought some of their fears were unfounded. But oh well, I've more than made up for the parties I missed from ages 16-18.

~*BabEE BuTteRfLy*~

I've always been allowed to party.. my parents are pretty cool.. when i first started partying i was 15 and they're just told me to have fun.. they know i don't do any drugs ... but also i've never really had any "rules".... and haven't had a curfew since i was 14 ... that's mainly because i do good in skool and my parents know i'm responsible..
i think parents should just let their kids party cuz they're gonna go anyways... and they can't use the drug excuse cuz u can get drugs anywhere.. skool, park, mall, mcdonalds drive thru..
whatever..
it's whack..

When I was a teen my parents wouldn't let me do anything! That included getting a car and I lived in the country! My closest friend lived 20 mins away by car and they wouldn't let me have the car most times to go. I have asked them why they did that recently and they said once I turned 14 I started to scare them and they wanted to keep me under control. I've never told them but did that backfire! LOL

Once I turned 16 and got my licence everything I told them was a lie. They were never told what I was really doing! I learned that if you told the truth you would probably be told no. If they went away for a week I would cash-in on the oportunity and take the car everywhere with the speedo disconnected (I blew the cooling system once going over 100 mph). I rigged my window so I could open it from the outside so I could sneak out every weekend. It got to the point that it became a game to me to do stuff and get away with it. We stole cars and broke into our school, did anything we wanted to. Thank god I didn't get into drugs or drink a lot. There was a lot more pressure back then to not do drugs than there is now, believe it or not! I didn't start smoking a lot of pot until college. I never tried E until '99! I think if I had started booze, pot and E when I was 16 I would be in bad shape now.

Now I face a new dilema as I am married and have a son. I still like to party when I can find time but my wife basically forbids it. The last party I was at was WEMF and I am still hearing about it. Even my mother-in-law has words for me she calls WEMF the 3 day orgy! My wife does not listen to electronic music and therefore does not "get it". I don't really get what she is so afraid of. I have been with her for 13 years (since grade 10) and have never cheated on her. She says it's dangerous but that makes no sense since I have been racing motocross for over 10 years and she has been to a lot of hospitals with me. I'm not the safest person I know!

I think the way that the media portrays raves and the electronic music scene is criminal and it makes my life difficult because when there is a special on the news about E or the dangers at raves I always get dirty looks from my wife and she feels justified in giving me a hard time about going out.

*is anybody shedding tears for me yet?*

I don't know what I'm going to do when my boy becomes a teen. Probably fuck it up because I've done (am doing) everthing he will have an oportunity to do himself one day.

Just a final note. I have never seen as many drugs anywhere in my life as I did at WEMF! My parents would never have let me go to a rave and I am suprised some kids parents drive their kids to these things! However I have been to a lot of festivals and if it's not drugs it's violence or stampeding crowds or heat stroke and dehydration (due to the $5 a litre charges for water) or stage diving or moshing.

You think it's tough not getting your way when you are a teen? Wait til you are older, there are a lot more people to tell you what to do as you age! And it pisses you off a lot more than it did back then.

*feel free to poke fun at the old guy now.

bye

My parents trusted me to make the right decision. Just that kind of pre-party guilt trip that kept me on the straight and narrow.

I can still argue rave politics with my parents, and they don't take Julian Fantino's side... (actually, my conservative right wing father was the first one to call him a Nazi!)

Anyway, yeah, they knew.

And there was nothing they could do about it.

So they did nothing.

Alright kiddies heres the scoop...

If your parents don't let you go, and your under the age of majority for legal decision making in your respective province and/or state, then they ultimately have the last word on it. They must have reasons for not wanting you to go, and you can obviously argue them to death, but whats teh point those that really want to go go anyways. Now this is where i disagree with everyone who sneaks out to go partying. What the fuck are you doing?!?

You're snaeking out, or going somewhere other then where you said you going, what if something happened to you, any number of things can happen givent he way the parties operate these days, you could be drugged, mugged, left without a way home, have an emergency, or your parents could have an emergency and you wouldnt be able to be found becuase you snuck out to go to some party. It's all about responsibility, and everyone i know always says that partying is a great responsiblity, but how is it responsible to lie to your parents and go anyways... god i must sound like somebodies father...

When i decided Iwanted to start partying at 16 I was told I wasnt allowed to go at first... sure I fell into the same traps of sneaking out, but I was all 'op it wont happen to me, i'm careful.' That attitude got me into shit loads of trouble, Iw as tranded twice at party locations, had a friend get really sick and nobody else was there that wanted to leave to drive her home. So I started dropping little hints to my mom about how I was 16 and should be allowed to have extra responsibilities surrounding my life. I told her about sneaking in and out of the house, and told her that I would continue to do so, but I would rather she know where I was and thats why i was telling this.

Given that option she knew that to be responsible was to have the person responsible for yourl ife know where youa re all night, she agreed to let me continue going as long as she knew where it was going to be held.

Now I'm 19 and heavily involved with the party scene, i dj, own a production company, am interviewed for articles on parties. And nothing could be better, I live on my own as well now, so I have everything to do myself, responsibility is a huge thing to burden, earn it, and you get the respect you deserve and the freedom you crave...

So get over it all already

I live on my own and can do anything I want

Both my parents know, but they both trust me and don't really care

I think my mom worries about me sometimes but she's worried about me since i was 10 and I've always come out fine.

My dad thinks it cool. He wishes he was 30 years younger. He always gets me to bring pictures when I go over.

My family has way too many serious issues than to worry about me going to raves.

I sorta agree... it's like the only ppl posting are sober ravers who parents agree... but thats great for them
I've gone sober but to be honest I do sober less then I don't. My mom didn't know when I started way back in the day (4yrs ago) and didn't care much when I told her as long as she knew the details... but when it started to have media coverage she cared A LOT more..... and the drugs I can't bring myself to tell her 'cuz she wouldn't understand

my mumsiey dosnt know i rave..and shes not gonna know for a long time!!...ive tryed talking to her about it b4 but she always gives the same response>No. i think her negative response has to do with me being up in the big city where anything could go wrong but hey what can ya do...i'll eventually tell her when i get older but for now im content with going to toronto and not have my mom up worrying about me all night like she would be doing if i told her i were going to a party. ))

i party, my parents did, my dad used to do hash in front of me, but if i touch drugs i am dead, well kiss my ass!!


@ first my mom didn't trust me, i would sneak out, smoke a J, come in go right to my room, my mom wouldn't come down to check on me, she knew.

Eventually i would just go out, tell her when i would be home, and she trusts my judgement, my sister was hell, all the old skool raves, she did it all, acid, E, everything, so my mom knows that i will prob do the same, but she raised us well enough that we won't over do it, and can smart'n up real quick if need be.

I think the more open u are with your parents the better it works out, instead of this revolting crap, that just pisses everyone off.

It's weird, I am 20, live on my own, but am still supported by my mother so I can't let her know I party or on very few occasions use fun substances. She works in the worst part of the city, believes everything she reads in the paper or sees on the news, and thinks raves are evil, dangerous all night dance parties that breed nothing but kids fucked up on drugs. If I told her that was what I attended every weekend, or as often as I could, she'd have my head and stop supporting me (and I definitely need her help to get through college!) I do tell her that when I go out all night it's dancing to electronic music and that I'm having a good time without drinking alcohol (cuz she always worries about underage drinking at clubs) It is sad the way the media has destroyed the image of raves, but sometimes it is best just not to tell your parents the whole truth. It stinks, but I know I'm not the only one with that situation... maybe someday when she isn't paying my bills I will let her know what I've been up to all these years, if she hasn't put 2 + 2 together yet...

BeckyBoo

if i was a parent i dont think id want my kids going to raves.

however i wouldnt stop them because then theyd just sneak to one and i wouldnt know where they were.

i cant blame parents for not wanting their kids to go to raves, drugs, stabbings, drugs, ods, all they have to go on is what they see on the news... which is never good.

I guess if you have a semi good open relationship with your parents, you could try and let them read some PRO rave articles.
there have been a lot of really well written ones out there. maybe talk to them about plur, if they used to be hippies they might dig it?

bwahahha
