if parents say no, trust them. they are here to protect you. I am sure others will give better advice than me :) but here is my bit.
Great advice. Honor your mother and father that your days may be long upon the earth.

It's understandable that when you're a teenager, you'd be curious about secular parties.
That's what you're talking about, right?
You remind me of an important point, because many churches have
youth groups and other activities for the youth to participate in.
So socializing does not need to be with those outside the church.
Activities can be geared that are for a person's growth and not detriment.

I am a teenage christian and so Ive started being invited to go to parties with one coming up. Inside, I kinda want to go but i always say no, but I dont know if its for the right reasons. I dont know if I do it because I shouldnt be focused on that, or because I am afraid of punishment from my parents. Is going to parties even sinful? Should I go to this one and try it out? Im just torn and would really appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance.
you say you are a Christian. are you a born again Christian? because that's what Jesus taught, to be a born again Christian. every time you are invited to a party, ask what kind & if there will drug use & alcoholic drinking there. if there will be, you aren't missing out on anything. in fact, you are gaining by not attending these kinds of parties. there is such a thing as a Christian party which is food, non alcoholic drinking, Bible talk, games, testimony sharing, even a time for a single person to meet someone, etc.

Hello and God bless, first, if going would place you in the hot seat with Mom or Dad or both, you should stay home and not go. Knowing that your parents would say no and you KNOW that they are against it, respect and honor you parents decision. Spend time doing something more productive during that time. Scripture says not to be envious of those who are sinning. I say this not because they are sinning[ they may have permission to have the party], but what sort of atmosphere would be present? What sort of music? Will drugs and/or alcohol be present there? Overall, I would advise you not to go. Stay home, spend time in the Word and do some studying, watch a Christian movie, or something that is more productive with your time. Do you know what your career goal is yet? If so, why not read up on literature on the subject? Do something that adds value towards your future is all I am saying.
