[quote=Anonymous]I am sad to read the parents saying "they do it anyway".
It is not 100% about controlling your teen that might be doing some of these things mentioned, however, it is about keeping your teen safe.
You absolutely need to set boundaries and rules of conduct on how you want your child/teen to behave that will hopefully start shaping their behavior as an adult.
I grew up with strict parents that would have never allowed me to go to beach week but did let me go to the beach on other weekends that were not infamous for the craziness. Now that I reflect back, I am grateful that I was not exposed to the madness and possibly been influenced to engage. I still think a 16-18 yo can be very immature in their thinking. I have friends that parents were very relaxed and set no rules and now they wish they had more boundaries growing up. 
Things are going to happen, your child is going to things you are not going to like to hear about, but it is absolutely irresponsible to send them somewhere where you know the things you cringe about are happening 24/7 and considered normal that week. It is very easy for teens to be put into vulnerable situation due to peer pressure when they possibly might not do that otherwise.
