When I was a kid the drinking age was 18, so we started at about 14.

I was a pretty good kid and never got caught when I strayed a bit in HS. However, I remember about a month before I left for college my mother saying, “You have maintained a good reputation up to now, just don’t screw it up before you leave for school.” I have no idea what I had been doing, but she must have thought it was bad.

Enjoy these last few days. Say loving things to her like–“I am so proud of you and I know you will make great decisions while you are in college.” Set her up. Telling kids how proud you are of them makes them want to continue to make you proud.
