[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 589030, member: 13882"] I would worry more if Jumper hadn't already demonstrated how level headed she is. I'm one of those people who is hard wired to worry about those I love. I would worry less about Jumper's decision making abilities or peer pressure susceptibility. If she is involved with team sports in college, she will be very busy, very content, and won't even be affected by the party culture. I remember when easy child was freshman in college and was hanging out with a girl who was really nice, but who binge drank every weekend. easy child drank moderately, the usual college stuff, but stopped hanging out with that girl because she was always on the floor, or puking, blind drunk and easy child was always playing nursemaid to her. Jumper is smart enough to not even get herself in that position. She clearly has a very strong sense of herself and doesn't cave. Just make sure you tell her (if you haven't already) to never leave her glass of soda, or anything unattended in a room full of college kids. If she does, and forgets, tell her to get a new glass. People put stuff in unsuspecting kids' drinks, even if they're just drinking soda. Jumper is a great kid - enjoy every moment! [/QUOTE]
