[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, this worries me.

My AP is from Germany and she's on the quiet side, but her BFF AP (also from Germany) is WILD. I don't understand how they became so close, but it always makes me nervous when they go out together. I have said several times to be careful and not drink, because she's newly 20 and it's not legal. Our agency WILL send APs home who get into this kind of trouble. (APIA)[/quote]

You just need to be really, really clear about the consequences. We had a 19 yo AP from Germany and she was great about it. She and a bunch of under 21s all became pals and would do stuff when the older ones went out. We sat her down at the beginning of the year and made it clear that while we were not personally in favor of the 21 drinking age, it was a LAW and that WE would be the ones to call the LCC if we found out she had been drinking. (Not sure we really would have, but I wanted to get the idea through to her that escaping detection wasn't going to be easy.) She got it and was great about it.[/quote]
