Answer 1

I would assume that most everyone does. However, in the midst of growing up, we tend to reflect on those times, and wonder how we ever survived. Sure, it was a lot of fun then, but younger readers will take these stories, and begin to ponder as young people do, thus fueling the thoughts of making some stories of thier own. Wouldnt it be comforting to know that you may have set forth the will for someone to not return home? Wouldn't that be a story for us to talk about?

Answer 2

3 of my friends brought vodka over to my house and drank for the first time. They basically finished the bottle. Anyway, in the end one of my friends ended up ODing and she almost died. Scariest night of my life. My two other friends got arrested by the cops. I've never drank in my life and I don't plan to especially after what happened. At least they weren't driving because it could have ended much worse especially if they weren't around anyone who was sober. =/

Answer 3

I was never arrested for underage drinking, but I used to drink a lot in college. I think if I had been arrested it would have made me stop drinking so much. Nothing bad ever happened to me while I was drinking, but then again I always had good friends with me that would watch over me... I guess everyone isn't that lucky.

Sorry no personal stories but important information because I don't drink or smoke, life is to short..

JULY 2008

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 15- to 20-year olds.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 3,490 drivers in this age group died in motor vehicle crashes in 2006 and an additional 272,000 were injured.

Drivers age 15- to 20-years old accounted for 12.9 percent of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes and 16 percent of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes.

Twenty-five percent of teen drivers killed were intoxicated. In 2006 (latest data available) crashes involving 15 to 17 year olds cost more than $34 billion nationwide, in medical costs, property damage and other costs, according to an AAA analysis.

Among licensed drivers, young people between the ages of 15 and 20 have the highest rate of fatal crashes relative to other age groups, including the elderly. In fact, the risk of being involved in a fatal crash for teens is three times greater than for drivers age 65 to 69.

Immaturity and lack of driving experience are the two main factors leading to the high crash rate among teens.

Answer 5

I don't have one of those stories, but I have another.

Fourth of July , my family got invited to this campsite. Blaring music, lots of alcohol ( at least 2 additional beer runs in add to what they brought with them). I tasted a small bit of everything and drank soda. After that day, I made a promise to myself not to try anything but champagne on New Years. I'm proud to say I've kept my promise for over a month now. :) Not that I've been exposed to that situation again. We avoid them. I have never been to such a mess. In a real campground, they would have been thrown out for keeping the music so loud. Good thing that the second day college students arrived and did not seem to mind it ( They were doing the same thing.)
