Best Advice for Rising College Freshmen? Relationships, alcohol, sex, rape prevention, parties, etc.

<p>We just said to be safe and get help if needed. That second advice just does not sink into my kid’s brain anyway. I had to convince her to find somebody to take her to emergency when it was absolutely needed, she finally did but not as soon as I would prefer. But the same thing actually happened after she graduated from college, despite the fact that she knew exactly about danger (being in Med. School). You can only do you best talking…and scare them as much as possible…but dehydration could be fatal…everybody knows that, but not everybody acts on it. If you loosing water and cannot hold it, you got to have an IV, there is no way around it. She had the bad reaction to 2 different medications in both cases. So, I would warn them to watch what happens to them when taking any medication and more so the new that they never used before and react QUICKLY before it is too late. This has nothing to do with any crazy things, this is just being mature to be able to take care of yourself</p>
