[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are the parent and can try to pull rank if you want. But... do you think that is the best way to communicate with your kid? What do you think that will do to your relationship? If you have VALID reasons for your disapproval, then you need to discuss them with your kid. Does he have past substance abuse issues? Ibiza may not be good for a kid in recovery. If your concerns are more general, then lay those out and see what he has to say. At some point, we have to trust our kids to do the right thing, or at the very minimum take ownership for their mistakes and try to rectify them. This is a great opportunity for him to learn about how to keep himself safe while traveling and having fun - basics like never taking a drink from a stranger or leaving your drink unattended, keep your valuables either close to your body or someplace safe, walk in groups and in well-lit places, don't take drugs from strangers (or anyone, really), don't break laws...
