As you will see, there are jackasses all over the Internet including on this forum.

You might be seeing a little bit more of the attitude you describe because kids are not drawn from the same area so parents get used to allowing the students to drive themselves and make their own plans a bit more.  I guess I would advise the same boring things:  try to talk a lot to your daughter; try to have frank discussions about the attraction versus risk of drugs and alcohol; ask questions (whose house will the party be at, are the parents home, how are you getting there, etc.);  and don't be afraid to ask questions of other parents as well.  It can definitely be tougher than a situation where you have known the parents of your daughter's friends for 10 years and can have more open initial discussions about things right away,  but other parents will be going through this as well and you should be able to have lines of dialogue soon. Good luck! [/quote]
