Graduation time should be a positive experience, one that a graduate will never forget. As your teen navigates this important life change there is much to do and talk about—but the most important conversation should come from you, the parent. Explain to your child that during graduation night and at other celebrations, safety is crucial in the planning process, and that alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes are not necessary for a fun time!
