Everyone else does it

When I was a sophomore I usually liked going out a lot with my friends or with my cousins. I would always go out during night time. I would go out and I would go home pretty late knowing my parents were going to be mad cause I was out so late sometimes even on a school night. I knew I would get in trouble and they asked me why are you home so late and I said Everyone else does it. They knew that got them even more mad and I couldn't go out for a while. Sometimes the phrase can be good or bad but I learned if your trying to stay out late don't say anything just sneak out.
