Teenagers on holiday? 25 July 2006
The post-exam trip to Cornwall or Ibiza is becoming a teenage rite of passage. Parties of teenagers can be found filling beaches from the South West to the Balearics, and beyond. Advocates of the teenage holiday say that they learn independence, while detractors argue they invariably get into trouble.

So, what do they really get out of the experience? How do you know when your child is ready to travel without parental supervision? And can you trust their friends? 

Jenni talks to Minette Marin and Edward Enfield about when teenagers are really ready for their first holiday without mum or dad.
