i'd fly her.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Ghound stations are like the D-League and Combine and Draft Day all put together for pimps. Lookin for runaways and strays.

Not all 16 year old girls are the same.
If it was something she really felt strongly about doing (for a particular reason), and we had discussions about safety measures, back up plans etc, and she felt confident in her ability to handle herself, I'd allow it.
It's important to allow kids, especially girls, to be able to rely on their own confidence and instincts to grow strong and independent. Overly "protecting" them isn't really protecting them sometimes. The earlier they learn to protect themselves, emotionally, mentally and physically, the better off they will be as adult women on their own in the world.

My neighbour is in her 50s and i wouldn't trust her to be alone on a Greyhound. But my friend's sister who is 17, I would totally support because she has her head on her shoulders, and doesn't fuck around.
Also when I was 16, my Mother and I visited London, England and I rode the underground by myself. I had to explain to my mother how to get to get around.
When women rely solely on others for direction, they become simple and helpless.
