This can be a fun and exciting time of year for teenagers. Prom night is often one of the most important nights in the life of these young men and women. It can be fun for parents as well, however, it can also be hectic and somewhat scary. You want to give your child space to grow, but you also want them to remain safe. There are a vast amount of ways that your teen can sustain a personal injury on prom night, but with any luck, these tips will help to avoid that from happening.Tips For Parents
Never promote underage drinking, but keep an open and honest line of communication with your teen. These are the years when much of the experimentation of life takes place. Even if we do not want to admit it, in the back of our minds we know the things that we used to do, and our teens are every bit as capable of doing them as well. Make sure that your child knows that they can always call you, no matter what.
By allowing them to know that this lifeline is there, it can help keep them and others from sustaining more severe personal injuries, if they do decide to do something foolish like drink alcohol. It will promote honesty and hopefully keep them out from behind the wheel, as well as out of the car of another that has been drinking.
This one may be a little bit costly, but it can also put your mind at ease. Consider talking to the other parents of teens that are going to prom with your child about renting a limo. Splitting the cost with them can make incurring this cost a little more budget friendly. How does renting a limo keep your teen safe? That is a very good question, and no we do not rent cars.
Night driving is risky enough without the added pressures of prom night. Peer pressure can lead your teen to do things that they likely would not ordinarily do. This could include drinking, going places they should not be going, or even reckless driving because of too many distractions in the vehicle. Renting a limousine can ease this worry because you will know that they have a driver that is capable of handling these types of situations.
A Tip For Your Teen
Have fun without putting yourself at risk. You are at a time in your life where you may believe that you are invincible, so to speak, but you are not. Personal injuries can occur to anybody, at any time, and at any place. If you consider drinking, think of the consequences involved. The risks are not worth the few minutes of enjoyment. You could receive a MIP, DUI, or DWI, which are hard to get off of your record, and they could affect you for years to come. Remain vigilant in your quest to stay safe and personal injury free, and have good, clean fun on your prom night.
