Yes, we;re not saying that NO one has a sober, innocent senior week. The problem is, the vast majority are there to party hard, with absolutely NOTHING else to do that week except go to the beach. That amounts to lots of peer pressure to join in and overdo it.

I trust my kid in college because there are thousands of other things competing for his time and attention: clubs, sports, campus activities and oh, yes, classes and homework.

At senior week, the plan is to let loose and unfortunately some kids’ judgment is less than ideal given that much freedom and access to alcohol etc.
