Tonight I went strolling around on a bike ride with my best friend, I seen a bunch of different parties going on, and even the people at one invited me in. I refused because they were grade 10s that were drunk and I wasn't drunk, I thought about going it but decided not to because I am 17, and I wasn't drunk and they wanted to have sex with me. I also have to work in the morning. I know I was responsible and made the right decision. My normal life consists of work, school, and then just chilling with some of my good buddies, maybe a few girls once in a while, working out, etc in my free time. The problem is that I feel like I am just letting my teenage years slip away with no memorable moments that normal teens in the "partying" sense would have. I'm no nerd or loser or anything, I'm just that quiet guy that has a lot of friends, and everyone is like "yeah this guy's cool", but I never get invited to any of these parties or anything, and I am really shy. I feel so depressed now because I feel like I am missing out on life. What should I do?
I just feel like I should be out there partying with them, having a good time.
 
Keep doing what you're doing. You know what's best. Everyone worries about "missing out" on this or that. If you're where you know you need to be, how are you not in the situation you should be experiencing? Good luck.
 
Well for a start U don't need 2 B drunk 2 have a good time, this is just a fallacy. Next thing U will B on drugs because some idiot friend said it was good.
Apart from that try the direct approach ask, "why wasn't I invited?" maybe U are giving people the idea U don't want 2 go to a party. Just drop it around that U would like an invite 2 the next party and see what happens.
 
ok so you say your life consists of work, school chilling w/ your good buddies, working out, etc. um....you got it good! most of the people at those parties you're talking about are wasting their lives away w/alcohol. they are the ones missing out on life, not you.
 
Your main problem is the fact that you are a focused and driven individual at to young of an age. Because your friends are getting wasted and having loose sexual relations is no reason to feel as if your missing out, because in general when those ppl get older and have problems with their health, they tend to regret much of what they did as young kids. However you should be at parties socializing and having fun, but not necessarily doing what everyone else is doing. Its all a matter of being able to find the right friends to hang out with and have fun with. Being more out going will help produce the kind of fun you crave, so dont be depressed just be determined to change into a more outgoing and social person.
 
Relax! You have PLENTY of time to have a good time. I am 35 and any parties I went to at that age were lame anyway. You have years and years to have a good time. You can sill have memorable moments without getting drunk and acting a fool. Trust me.
 
Stop Stressing about it, your best parties are still ahead of you, and be gratefull that you not screwing up your life with drug and alchohol problems at 17.
P.S. getting drunk and screwing around can get you into parenthood, sexual diseases etc. So you doing OK with your life the way it is!!!!!
