An annoying situation

[Mystic Muse]

Suppose somebody you didn't really know that much Called your parents one day. They're hosting a big party and they want your parents to come and add "Bring the kids too" Instead of going to your biweekly* activity your parents say you should go to this party. You know that the host isn't going to notice whether or not you're there and that going will make you miserable. Not only because you're missing one of your favorite activities but because you have to dress up in uncomfortable clothes, to go to a party you don't care about. Not only that but you won't have anybody to hang out with because everybody there prefers hanging out with your siblings. However, even if you were to stay home you couldn't go to your activity because you can't drive.

Now, under these circumstances, Is there any reason you shouldn't simply stay home and IM people or play Nintendo? I ask because I'm in a similar situation. And no, I can't just text people since I don't own a cell phone.
