It is not overreaching to be worried about this – for daughters and for sons. Groups of high schoolers may drink and take unwise risks wherever they are: at home, at boarding school, at supervised summer programs. This can include the studious nerdy kids. I give high schoolers the same advice I would to college students, which is to watch your drink (including if it’s 7-Up) and keep your wits about you. It is smart to talk to your kids about handling risk and making good decisions. Don’t assume that the program will handle it or that your smart/nerdy kids will not be tempted.
