Graduation Season Safety
          Tips for Parents:
  • Remember that you are the primary influence on your teen.
  • Set clear rules about not drinking, and enforce consequences for breaking them.
  • Offer to plan, host, and supervise a graduation party; assure parents the party will be alcohol-free.
  • Require adult supervision at every celebration your teen attends.
  • Know who will be driving your teen to and from the celebration.
  • Remind your teen that, under any circumstance, you will be there to pick them up or help them, no questions asked.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask your teen to “check in” while they are out

  • Safety Tips for Graduates:
  • Never drink and drive! Do not get into a car with a driver who has been drinking.
  • Remember you can always say “no” and do not have to do anything you do not want to do.
  • If it doesn’t feel safe, it probably isn’t. Trust your instincts.
  • Watch out for your friends and have them do the same for you.
  • Never be afraid to call your parents or a trusted adult.
