Teens expect more often to be allowed to vacation without adult supervision, often times to expensive resort areas out of state.
Common spring break activities include binge drinking, sexual activity and partying.
A study on spring break drinking found that 75% of males along with 44% of females were intoxicated daily while on spring break. Half of males and 40% of females reported passing out at least once.

Spring break is the perfect time to rejuvenate relationships within your family! Starting family traditions, taking simple day trips, or planning a long getaway, can all be great ways to bring your family together. Families have precious few opportunities to be a family, don't let it slip away.
If your teen asks to go on a trip without you, hold your ground. Teens do not have the experience to drive long distances, take care of travel arrangements, react appropriately in emergency situations or financially support any unknowns.
If your teen is invited to go on spring break with a friend, make sure you call the parent and find out where they stand on supervision, curfews, drinking, etc.
