[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spring break in the 80s and 90s was a college event not a high school event.  I’m from the midwest and cannot believe that the beach week tradition for high schoolers exists here!  We had nothing similar.  This is crazy![/quote]

DH and I are both FCPS grads from the mid80s. It was Ocean City for Beach Week, immediately after graduation. Our younger siblings from the later 80s started to break with tradition and headed for the OBX.

Our decidely "unpopular"  (she'd say "misfit") DD went to Beach Week w 3 friends in 2017 but stayed in a relative's 2BR rental condo in Fenwick-somewhat away from the action. There was drinking. One girl up and left after the first night; there were arguments. DD would say it wasn't very much fun. She is no longer in contact or friends with her Beach Week companions. I guess we gave her some leeway here figuring that she'd soon be off to college.

Next up; DS16 who is more social and more daring. I don't know what we'll encourage or discourage his senior year. [/quote]
