[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Condoms = “when you decide to have sex, be safe”. Consensual sex is legal in all 50 states. 
Bottle of tequila = “who cares about the law. Or learning. [b]You’re here to party[/b]”. Underage drinking is illegal on college campuses. [/quote]

if you don't think your kid sees their first week at college as this, you're deluded and it's your kid who is probably going to pay the price when they get in over their heads.

smarten up, for your kid's sake.[/quote]
Not to be sanctimonious, but I have four children. Two have already graduated college and have successful careers, one is in college, one in HS. I have no doubt they partied. But they also knew they were in college to earn a degree that would provide an opportunity for good careers. We didn’t give them alcohol, but did give them condoms - not as in “go sleep around” but “be careful when you do have sex”. Only one partied with the frat scene that we know of, and the other 2 are more of the “close circle of friends” types and not massive party type (introverts that don’t like big crowds). I imagine they drink in small group settings. 
They can figure out how to get booze like every other college kid, and that doesn’t mean getting open and laced bottles from rapist frat boys. There’s lots of ways to get booze, but parents should not be supplying it. [/quote]
