[quote=Anonymous]I went it was great.  Yes people might get into troble but most kids try to be smart about it, or if they have open parent relationships good talks before hand.

One thing I would like to point out is: you kid will most likely be going to college at the end of the summer right?  So when they get there the first night they could go on a binge and drink, do drugs, have sex, etc.  So why not let them go and have fun (not to necessarily do what I said) but because you are going to lose that "control" in a few months anyways.

I will never forget, the first night at my college (still in orientation), a boy got alcohol poisoning and was then kicked out of school right away.  I dont know if his parents had control issues over him and this is why he binged and ruined his first college experience, but sometimes when parents have that control over their kids at this age, this is what happens when the kid gets one ounce of freedom.

When I let my kids go one day, I fully expect to me a bit uneasy about it, but would like to know that I have had an open relationship with them and that they will listen to my concerns and act with caution when being given this freedom.[/quote]
