[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to this area from Ohio. No beach week was not heard of in Ohio. I would guess it had something to do with the fact that beaches are nowhere near Ohio. I guess kids could have all stayed at a motel by the quarry but it doesn't sound as cool. The beaches here are all about 2-3 hours away.

The parent proposing beach week with mom is having a hard time realizing that at a certain point you are no longer the center of your child's world. The parent who thinks college is a more controlled environment is having delusions.

The parent who is pleased that her daughter has no interest should talk to her kid. It is sad but beach week is a continuation of popularity circles. Lots of kids have a wonderful time but for the socially awkward kids or kids that feel like a third wheel it yet another one of those painful things where they feel left out. I remember knowing a few kids who said they were not interested in beach week and wanted to do other things. It seemed normal to me at the time. Years later, I was talking with these people and they mentioned how left out they felt in high school and avoided beach week as another one of those things for the "cool" kids. I'[b]m not saying that you should anyway try to talk your daughter into going to beach week but you may want to try talking to her about whether she is feeling left out, bullied, or unpopular[/b].

In other words, you are saying there is something wrong with a kid who does not want to get sh@tfaced,  have massive casual sex or hang out with young people who are partaking in these behaviors.      I soooooooo hope my kid is not going to school with your kid.[/quote]
