Any chance you could beg, convince, coerce or bribe one of your friends to make the trip with you 1) to help the car boredom problem, 2) to help you with Jeffrey; 3) to give you someone other than your parents and sister to talk to, and last but hardly least 4) to give you someone to go out with at night so this trip is a little fun for you also?

Can you do the college visit when you get back. Were I your parent, the college trip would be tons more palatable if I had a very clear (and non-frightening) picture of where you were going to be sleeping. Forget frat houses.

PS: I have to confess to a lot of hypocracy here. My 16 year old son's girlfriend is a freshman in college and we've not yet let him go visit her. Mostly it hasn't been an issue because she's only been there about 6 weeks and he played a winter sport which pretty much made leaving town impossible for him. Part of our stated reticence is that I don't want him making the 2+ hour trip in a car. There is always the bus however ... probably the real issue is that I don't have a non-frightening clear picture of where he's going to sleep. (a mother's whining)
