Adults got an unusual glimpse inside a typical teen house party Wednesday at "Reality Parties” in 18 counties across the state. From drinking to using pharmaceutical drugs and marijuana, no holds were barred in trying to educate parents to what their teens may be doing at the parties they attend.

What area teens had to say

We asked some Oklahoma teens what they tell their parents when they are going to a party and if their parents know what happens at the parties they go to:

Detrek Wallace, Wellston senior: "My mom knows what goes on at them, but at the same time, I’m not that kind of guy. I’m not a drinker or a smoker, so she doesn’t worry.”

Patrick Gibbs, Northwest Classen senior: "My parents know. That’s why they don’t let me go to many parties.”

Lavonna Joubert, Northwest Classen senior: "My parents know what to expect because they know my surroundings. They don’t let me go because of all the violence around.”

Deontae Thomas, Star Spencer senior: "They know the area and they know the people having the party. Yeah, pretty much, they know what I’m going to be around.”
