When you avoid harmful substances, provocative activity, and inappropriate dress. This is exceedingly rare among teenagers, so when you find someone "keepin' it classy" congratulate them, because they can have fun without snooping to a trashy level. These people are "too school for cool" and just all around awesome people who have the most fun at parties, cause they're not worried about legal issues.
