Why do 18 year olds party so much after graduating high school?

[Chrisss]

Don't they have to work? My brother just graduated and he works full time for a satellite installation company but there are pictures of him and his friends drinking and partying a lot on his facebook. I am 12 turning 13 and isn't this illegal? What is the reasoning? He doesn't want to go to college yet but like I said is working full time. Like I have heard of college parties but not like hes doing with his friends.

that sounds to me like something u shouldn be worrying about. ur 12 and hes old enough to do what he wants.

they are just really excited to get out of high school. it is illegal to drink under the age of 21 but he isnt the only one who does this. many teens are like this it may be his age, he will mature. best of luck.

As long as he is working and has his priorities in line then you shouldn't worry about it.

You'll understand one day lol.

It is called the allure of the forbidden fruit. Some day, no matter how little sense it makes to me and you, you will fall into that trap too. We all do at least for a minute.

It is not hard to understand, he has lived for years restricted in what he can do all of a sudden he is an adult. He can do what he wants and go where he pleases. Sudden new found freedom affects almost everyone and you tend to go wild for a time. It is not something that you should worry about unless he goes to overboard with it, he will out grow it in a little while.

When your 18 you'll know yourself why he does this, but I will try to explain the best I can!

Hes 18 and he most likely has his liscense, with this power he can go anywhere he wants when he wants.... still following? Even though he works full time, he has two days to absolutly do what ever he feels like! ? (Friday and Saturday, Sunday being recovery day) Now us 18 year olds, got one thing on our minds 90% of the time (other 10% being sports), and that one thing is.... GIRLS! Alright, now theres alcohol! Alcohol is an excuse to do what ever you please with out much consequence!

Example - Bro 1 "yo bro i went to a party last night and just bagged this girl!"
Bro 2 "dude she uglier then ugly betty...."
Bro 1 "dude what ever i was hammed on a whole nother lever"
Bro 2 "oh tru aha"

Also alcohol + girls = easy meat

So lets lay down some math here

Liscense = Freedom = Alcohol + Girls = Fun Time

Make sense?

Hope I cleared this sticky situation up with you!
