[quote=Anonymous]Hm. I can picture lots of bad things happening with 17 year olds going to the Bahamas for two weeks. That said, when I was 17 I traveled in Great Britain, Germany and France by myself for six weeks (sometimes staying with relatives or family friends, sometimes in Youth Hostels.) I paid for everything with money I made working over the school year. I think that makes a difference in my mind. If the kids are paying for the trip themselves, with money they earned, not money they were gifted, I feel better about it somehow. And of course you need to know your kid. I think if my kid showed the initiative to plan and earn money for a trip, at 17 I'd feel like I need to allow it. I would be happier with my kid traveling with just a few friends, to a place with sightseeing to do. I worry if it's a big group of friends just renting a beach house. Too much decadence and free time?[/quote]
