Party+Boy+Corey+Story

// Adolescent psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg said the wild party in Cairns and another in Adelaide on Saturday night were proof that the Corey phenomenon had created copycats. "There would be very little doubt about that," Dr Carr-Gregg said.

"It is very much a case of monkey see, monkey do.

"We really need to do something as a community before someone is killed."

On Saturday, more than 500 gatecrashers showed up at Ben Bauer's 16th birthday party party in Peridot St, Bayview Heights. The out-of-control party resulted in eight police cars and the dog squad breaking up the festivities after the door of a van was allegedly kicked in and a lawnmower was allegedly stolen.

At the same time, a party in the southern Adelaide suburb of Seacliff Park led to three teenagers being arrested and four police cars being attacked, AdelaideNow reported.

About 100 teenage gatecrashers turned up, leading to the police helicopter being called in after some of them "became aggressive" to officers, a police spokeswoman said.

Dr Carr-Gregg said the two parties were similar to the one thrown by Corey, also known as Corey Delaney, in the Melbourne suburb of Narre Warren last month, with word spreading by text message.

In the early hours of January 12, up to 500 teenagers caused more than $20,000 worth of damage to property after a party organised by 16-year-old Corey turned into a riot and made headlines world-wide.

"Nowadays, news about parties are getting out very quickly," Dr Carr-Gregg said.

"I've been sent three emails with party invitations from MySpace."

Dr Carr-Gregg said while many underage-teenagers did not see Corey`s actions as influential, some thought he was a hero.

"The guy (Corey) was walking down the street signing autographs he had his more than 15 minutes of fame," he said.

"Mums and dads need to get their acts together they like to pass the blame (onto their children). "They need to parent." //

The Above information is our stimulus for the clp. It gives a proffesional overview on the layout of the party, from the invitations, all the way to the arrival of the police helicopter. It also goes into the nature of the parties similar to these, like copycat parties. It is really a psychological analysis of the party and corey in general. It goes into the influence of the party, and how some teens are seeing him as a hero, because of the mayhem he caused. It gives us ample information towards the performance that we will be doing, and essentially the mindstate that we will need during the performance.

Personal comments from Jesse: I dont really enjoy doing this project because there is alot of planning and writing which I think is boring. It would be better is you did multiple skits and not as much writing. LEGAL QUESTIONS

1. Would you have gone to the party?
 * 1) If you had known the party would get out of hand, would you have gone?
 * 2) Should Corey have to pay for the damage, or the partygoers that were responsible?
 * 3) Should he be blamed for the party, or the people that attended it?
 * 4) Is being idolised for 15 minutes by teenagers really worth the embarrassment and future possibilities of failure that Corey is sure to experience in latter life?
