Is it proper for a 17 y/o girl to travel 1/2 way across country with 18 y/o boyfriend?

Question

Girl going to family reunion. Boy can't leave until after girl's mother leaves. Traveling from NY to Mich by Greyhound Bus.

Answer 1

who cares if it's *proper*? what year is it, 1880??

Answer 2

lol sorry but i had to laugh at your question. you arent really going half way across the country only a few states away. if you were going to go to another country, id have to say its absolutely improper, but seeing how your not, i dont see anything wrong with it seeing how its to attend a family reunion. have fun

Answer 3

Can not see anything wrong with it. 17 is not what it used to be.

Answer 4

depends how repsonsbilble they are! and if they can reaaaaally navigate around goood and have good sense of direction.

Answer 5

well that depends on how much you love him and how long you have  been together for. one of my friends she went with her partner about 100 K's away and he left her there with no money. s

Answer 6

i traveled all around even younger than that. but i was a different kind of kid - i was not only book smart, but street smart as well. my parents knew they could trust my decisions. i think if it is a wise thing 4 her 2 do depends on what kind of kid she is and what her intelligence & maturity level is. whether or not it's "proper" for her to travel would obviously be left 4 others 2 judge.. but if shes a good kid, is there really a need 2 care what others think?

Answer 7

I think this is up to the parents of the 17 year old girl (because she is a minor). They can determine if the female is mature enough to take the bus without them. As for the boyfriend, it is a better alternative than her travelling alone.  Since the trip is for a family reunion ... well, it isn't improper to sit next to a boy on a bus.
