Guys, please don't drink too much. Hell, if you do, don't drive anywhere.
Before prom, we had to sit through this presentation by SADD/MADD (Students against destructive decisions/ mothers against drunk driving), and it was given by a lady who had lost her daughter to a drunk driver. She was only 16. She was pulling out of her friend's driveway one night, and was hit. The guy slammed into her. I'm not kidding. A couple seconds before impact, he hit the Nos. (Nitrous Oxide, it makes your car FLY.) He was going around 103 when he hit her. We saw photos of the crash, along with photos of the girl. We heard stories of her thoughout her life. Baby pictures and all. Needless to say, I broke down in tears. And this was someone whom I've never met. I can't imagine what it would be like if it was someone I knew. I know I haven't met half of you guys IRL, but that doesn't mean that I don't care.
Also, I heard from a friend of mine that two seniors from a neighboring high school went and got drunk on the beach today because it was their last day. One guy passed out and the other was vomiting uncontrollably. They were rushed to the hospital with severe sun and alcohol poisoning. One just woke up about a half hour ago, and the other is floating in and out of consciousness. According to my friend, they're "totally unresponsive." Just keep them in your prayers, if you pray. I don't know them personally, but I really don't like to see anyone's life in danger.
Please guys. If this dissuades just one of you guys from doing something like this, I'll be the happiest person in the world.
