If sex is what you’re worried about, remember that these kids are three months from being released into the world and college to have as much sex as they want.

Are both kids 18?

If not, look up the statutory rape laws in the location where they will be

I have two juniors (age 17) and they still seem like little kids to me but then I have to remember my own self at their age. I was a "good kid" and a top student. However, I was lying all the time about where I was. I had a friend with a mom who didn't care so I was always "spending the night" there while I was really somewhere entirely different.

No.

I remember telling my mother this, lol...

Lol, well, it was at OUR house so we know exactly who was there, and it was in fact all girls.

Prom beach weekend isnt a real thing. But regardless, no way am I letting my HS go on a teenagers weekend trip without adults. No matter what they say, these kids party.

Since when is prom a beach trip. I have never heard of this and I have one in college and one graduating from HS this year. Isn’t that saved for Beach week. Lord.

Now they were invited to go to a friend’s beach condo for the weekend. It will be 4 of them in a one bedroom with pull out couch in the living room.

If I were in your position, I would try to hold back my laughter.

Gross

Can't relate. Barely got my kids to go to prom itself with friends. I didn't even know prom beach weekend was a thing, which is why I clicked. I'm intrigued.

If you are ok with him having sex with her, then I agree that the beach weekend with two kids that you know is better than them going to some random party after prom.
Buy lots of condoms and put them in his bag.

Um no. Your kid will be having sex then with his gf all weekend long.

So my DC and his girlfriend were just going to go a beach day trip for prom weekend so I thought we had it easy. Now they were invited to go to a friend’s beach condo for the weekend. It will be 4 of them in a one bedroom with pull out couch in the living room. It is in a sleepier beach town - not a typical prom weekend area.

The other two kids are not dating - just friends so supposedly the girls will sleep in the bedroom and boys in the living room.

My take is that I would rather have them go away with the other two kids since that are genuinely nice kids/have been friends for awhile and don’t “party” as opposed to them deciding last minute to meet up with some of the other groups that will be partying.

They will all be going away to college in just a few months so we have to allow more freedom - so have the parents all talk to them before hand about safety (don’t let anyone go somewhere on their own/go in pairs), have another reminder talk about consent etc.

How are other parents handling their kids going away prom weekend? What ground rules did you set up?
