Is it safe to send my teenage daughter to camp at a music festival (Bonnaroo) in Manchester, TN?|173860

My 18-year-old daughter wants very much to go to a music festival in Manchester, TN called Bonnaroo. She is planning on camping there with a group of collage students.Can anyone advise me on the safety of Bonnaroo? Will she encounter drugs and alcohol there?

on her own, i would not allow it.
with several friends and an adult to accompany them, i would.
i

Let her go to the ******* festival

yes, it would be safe to send your daughter to bonnaroo, she is old enough to start making her own decisions and just like everyone else said, if you brought her up right not to do drugs and alcohol, she will be able to make the right decision on her own, not only that the bonnaroo music festival has rules and regulations reguarding the use of drug and alcohol, they strictly prohibit it, from the site i posted in the source you can find these rules and regulations, plus they also state what you should bring and not bring, in addition what the schedule will be like so you will pretty much know everything your daughter will be doing, and again shes 18 the age where you get out on your own, trust in your parenting skills that they have affected her in the right way and that she will make the right decisions when she has to.

Bonnaroo is staffed well and 24 hour security.. Of course there a bad things if you look hard enough, as is the case with any music festival, if your daughter is in the least bit well grounded you should have little to worry about. Like the above person said, trust that you raised her right and that she would have discipline to enjoy herself in a non detrimental manner. The fact that she_s going with peers could very well be an asset.

I think that you should let your daughter go. Bonnaro is safe and they have are very strict on their drug and alcohol policy. but if it does happen to get past the security, you should trust your daughters judgment and also trust that you raised her to make the right decision.

of course u should send her.
and chances are she will encounter drugs and alcohol but you have to trust yourself enough to know that you raised her right. you also have to trust her to not make dumb decisions that will her into unsafe situation.
trust her. you only live once

I think it_s very safe.
From what I hear they_re very strict on things like drugs and alcohol getting in.
Plus, she would be with friends, which, of course, makes things safer, and should make you feel less nervous.

I_ve been to bonnaroo several times, and never seen any drugs, and only moderate alcohol. Out of music festivals, I_d say it_s the safest.

She_s 18 so unfortunately (VERY unfortunately in this case) you can_t stop her if she can afford to go on her own... but if she can_t afford it and she_s trying to get YOU to send her on your dollar, DON_T DO IT!!!! The place is absolutely overrun with drugs and alcohol and sex- it_s like Woodstock from the 60_s, but every year! Yes, there are lots of great, normal people who do go there and there are a lot of amazing bands that play there, but an 18 year old- in MY opinion (as someone who has raised 3 daughters, now all in their 30_s, and someone who has been rasing other people_s kids a s a nanny for 38 years) does not have the resources to deal with the things she will encounter there. I would NEVER willingly allow or want my child to go to Bonnaroo. Good Luck!
