| "how are you going to send your kid off to college if they can't spend a week at the beach alone??"
Around here Beach Week is putting way more stress on young people and their decision making ability than most of the college experience will. I know that big parties and getting drunk occur on campus and off. But beach week concentrates it to an unbelievable degree with all the peer pressure added in.
Answer for all 4 was "No" here and no apologies. None of mine could go until they were old enough to reserve their own rooms and pay for it.
We did allow various other trips on a smaller scale without the peer pressure for drunken over the top parties. |
