<p>Again I’m sure lots of kids can handle these trips. Especially when they are only 3-4 kids together with an itinerary etc. </p>
<p>What I worry about are hundreds of kids all descending on OCMD with no schedule and no agenda except to get drunk and hook up. </p>
<p>And these are all college bound kids. One kid fell in the condo and cut his head open and needed stitches. But no one was sober enough to drive. Another girl tried to hook up with a classmate to get back at an ex boyfriend. That prompted some retaliation at her condo etc. </p>
<p>I’m sure the majority of the kids down from our HS didn’t do much more than drink and sleep on the beach. But I just wonder about the wisdom of setting up those kinds of conditions. Too many ways for that to go wrong. And I am so glad S friends parents also chose to do family trips instead of senior week.</p>
