Ocean City seems to be popular.

I was going to say she would probably want to go where her senior friends are also going... it doesn't make sense for her to spend a week on her own where she won't know anyone. Another thing... I hope you are asking about this for next year because reservations for senior week at any of the popular places are usually booked and pre-paid several months in advance.

I don't quite understand the concept of "senior week" for high school.
You did what you needed, why not wait for a senior week from college

Most college graduates are no longer interested in partying and acting stupid because they've gotten it out of their system.

So why this NEED to party from High School?
It's a celebration and emancipation rite. High school graduation marks the end of childhood and the beginning of adulthood. And kids want to commemorate it by raising hell and getting drunk with their friends.

I don't understand it. You can't go out and drink, you can hardly get into anywhere fun. You can barely vote. So what is it you are doing?Do you really NEED us to explain the concept of senior week to you...
Get your ass to work or college. I think every four years of work we should have a "senior week"

Why not?

Because it's high school?

Senior week is not mandatory so those graduating that don't feel the need or understand the need to go by all means shouldn't go.
But for others, they see it a a major milestone in their life that signifies thier independence and the opening of the next volume of the book series that is their life. Once you graduate from high school you are supposed to be considered a young adult that is capable of forging ahead without having to have a parent hover over them at all times. Senior week is typically the very first time most of them are let go to travel unsupervised, unchaperoned and left to make critical decisions for themselves.
My son and his friends made plans to attend senior week the March before their graduation. Four of them split a nice 4 bed suite overlooking the boardwalk/ocean. They spent the next several months raising their own money to pay for it. Because we selected an establishment that accepted teens for senior week the business established the ground rules up front and the boys understood that if they made poor decisions they would end up evicted early without refund. As a result, they had a blast that week, but they also knew there were lines they couldn't cross. My son said he'd tell me all about it in about 20 years...

Well at least he will wait. Probably till right before you have a heart attack.Here was the part that kills me the most, the kids that feel it's a "RIGHT/NEED/HAVE TO"
No it's a want, work for it and it's yours. Not give me, not "Oh I need to send my kid to senior week" No they want to be grown up, work for it. I have to work for my vacations work for yours.

What's even funnier is that my son has since forbidden his younger sister from attending senior week when she graduates next year...

Maybe Jr. can get Little Sister a T-shirt that says something like:
"My Big Brother's 6'4"/220 I Wouldn't Risk It If I Were You"; and make her swear to wear it.

Do you like apples?
And if she wears a shirt like that, she'll probably gain a lot of new female friends that are interested in getting to know her brother.
The son's comment does give an idea of what went on during "senior week" in that he does not want his sister to be subjected to it. Hmmm underage, lotsa partying, peer-pressure everywhere, no curfew, no parental supervision. Good times.
Really it comes down to maturity and trust. Ya gotta let your kids outta the nest at some point and see if they can fly. Just hope that you gave them enough guidance, values, and morals to know what to do and not to do to stay safe and still have fun.

I seriously had the best time of my life at senior week. We went to OC, and basically had the most amazing time. We STILL talk about all the fun we had and trouble we got into. It was awesome. I had worked my butt off to get into college, was working full time over the summer and needed a break with my friends to celebrate and have a good time. Me and 5 other girls split a suite, did a lot of partying, walked up and down the boardwalk and got invited to parties every 10 ft everyone we knew was there and its one of the best memories I have.
