Most unpopular kid on the block

I don't recall ever being invited to a party or having a party when I was a kid (well, not until in my teens) yet, now, all the kids from what seems one up seem to invite friends for a party.

I know in the UK this has got out of hand (McDonalds seem to do well out of it). It is still very amateurish here in France for the moment, so fun.
