Not really sure, but neither of my sisters had a special "thing" for their 16th birthdays. I don't really see the point of it, it's not like you get any special priveleges when you turn 16. What the hell is "sweet 16" supposed to mean, anyway? "Time to start putting out"?

Personally, it's more like if you personally want the party, then go for it. If not, then don't have one.

It's a great excuse to have a party supported by your parents. :p

Ah, okay. I'd say that it depends: can you wrangle a party out of it? Anything you can use to wrangle a party out of your parents is prima fascie good. Applying it to this situation: if you can get a party out of the whole "sweet sixteen" thing, then by all means use the phrase as often as possible.

The side I am taking, is the top two. My mom supplied the bottom answers for me. So far, I'm ahead.
