unstable

My dad told me(or was it my mum?) that only when a person has calmed down from the partying and all then only then they are ready to settle down with someone and start a family. I guess they were talking about my brother.

I've already turned 18 and my friends have all started to calm down but me. During high school, it was the other way around. I didn't drink like my friends till they fell over or puked mainly because I was worried about what might happen to them. Not forgetting to mention, its usually my parents who are picking me up plus my friends. What would I say to my parents if they saw me drunk? My friends didn't need to deal with that.
I'm the youngest among my friends and they've had their licence and were driving independantly months before me. So when we go to parties, they can't drink because they're driving. Those that aren't driving...don't mind just hanging out and talking.
Having though about it so much, I do regret not having fun when I should have.
