I think they're cool. too bad I was grounded pretty much for life when I turned sixteen so I didn't get to ha ve one.

my sweet sixteen was a blast. it was a big deal to my parents because they're from greece and it's not a tradition there but since it's one here, they wanted me to have one so that i felt that i fit in better in this country. :)

hmmm
Well from my exsperience this year, ...on my birthday I went to someone elses sweet sixteen. my dad was being an asshole having fun with his brother from out of town and his bro's new wife, and my mother went to work, oh well. I guess it's just another day.
--Posted by noire



kinda pointless....but great!
so what you turned sixteen? you should get a bigger party when you turn thirteen because your finally a teen. But why do you have to have a big thing for when you turn 16? like i said, kinda pointless, but a whloe lotta fun.
--Posted by frenchfriluver



not a big deal
Turning 16 is no big deal you cant do anything different like get into clubs or buy alcohol or become an adult so its dumb!

After Mtvs "Sweet sixteen"
After i watched that i thought all the girls on the show where real ass holes and i dont think i will have a sweet sixteen. so sorry, Dis it!
--Posted by hayday91




social cliche...
sweet sixteens are WAY too overdone...and really in the end all it ends up being is one big drama fest...i'm sorry if any of you really buy into the hype that is The Sweet Sixteen Trend...all of this "i MUST have the BIGGEST and BEST party or my life is over" and ">sob< and she totally ruined it by having a better/the same dress!"...like i said i am sincerely sorry if you buy into this load of horse pucky and i offended you but...it needed to be said...

A birthday is a birthday... just like any other day. I didn't have a sweet sixteen or a quincenera (i think i spelt it wrong) because I thought it was dumb, sure it was traditon to be known that you were a woman; but really you are just a teenager. Woman or not. But when I started seeing that sweet sixteen show on MTV, I thought it took out the meaning completely - they were focusing on making a party to be remembered by friends, and they were all rich girls who could afford a palace to have a party at - why dont they show an average girl? Oh, yes, because that is not a fun thing to watch..it has to be all glam and money. Anyways, I dig and dis the sweet sixteen.. congrats to those that had their birthdays :-D

my friend got pregnant at her sweet sixteen party.

16 years old. WHOOPI FRICKIN' DO!
On your 16th birthday I think you should have a nice party with your friends where you chose. You should not flash your cash and invite the whole school leaving out unpopular kids and giving everybody presents and blah. Sweet 16 just make poorer kids feel inferior and they leave out people who aren't so popular. They are just another excuse for rich kids to show off how loaded they are.
--Posted by letterbox




gold diggers
a girl only has a sweet 16 to get presents from guests and show off. its sooo dumb. ok, you're finally 16; its not like you can really do anything special anyways. save it for when something reaqlly important comes up, like when you turn 18 or 21
--Posted by cathy63573



What's the point?
Like everyone else said, 16 is sooo random. You don't get to exactly do anything, NOT EVEN DRIVE COS THE DRIVING AGE IS RAISED! *in MA it's 17* Being Filipino, we usually get Debutantes *18th birthdays* and I think that's more meaningful because it's showin you are really an adult. It's extremely formal, and more than clubbin, we have like waltz with the father, then with our escorts, and then with the 18 boys that mean something in our life. Sweet sixteens are just an ecuse to be all that for one day.

um why have a sweet sixteen?
i dont see the point in having one i mean if you dont want one then why should people force you to have one? Its just means another year has come and gone so why have a huge party?
--Posted by vanilla_lotte




From the perspective of MTV...
what they show on MTV with the Super Sweet Sixteens makes me really dislike the whole thing. Everyone is grinding and screaming and being obnoxious. My sixteenth birthday was with a few friends and simple and I had fun without the crazyness.
--Posted by enidcoleslaw



Why?
I mean, I get having a party on your sixteenth birthday. I even get having them bigger than your normal birthday parties. But Sweet Sixteens are generally excuses to flaunt your money, get everybody drunk, and end up having a sucky night. Isn't it so much worthwhile to have fun than to waste your time trying to impress people with money?
--Posted by tata_the_nifty




I didn't have a sweet 16 because my birthday is over beach week, and everyone goes to that. I could have gone for my birthday, and had a party down there, but I don't relish a bunch of drunk, stupid people at a party. A fun party, that never made. So instead I'm going all out for my 21st. It's a bigger deal in my family anyway because you're really an adult then. I prefer parties with family than friends.
--Posted by hislilarmybrat



waste of time and money
I dont get how girls fall into the huge trend of sweet sixteens. I didnt have one this year. When I turned sixteen I just had a small get together with my friends. Nothing big at all. And thats how I liked it. To me being sixteen is literally no different than being fifteen. Ya you get to drive but not legally until your seventeen so you have to wait a whole year. Its pointless to have a huge sweet sixteen when your still a kid. Your not an adult yet until your at least eighteen. Thats just my opinion.
