Lose the Keys

Did you ever think about whom you could be hurting or maybe the things you may not ever be able to do again? Drinking and driving might not always end in a bad way but statistics state that in 2008 44 percent of the fatalities were from drinking and driving. What if a loved one was one of those in your life? I fine that this should be a strong topic that states look towards. This is because not only can it kill themselves but many times others on the road.

In my life I had to go through a loved one almost dying from this drinking and driving. He didn’t even remember that night but luckily he came out alive. If there is a next time maybe he won’t. A drunk driver isn’t just hurting their selves, but also anyone close in their lives. Say they are married or maybe have children, if the result of the accident is fatal then you’re leaving your loved ones behind. No one should ever have to go through this pain; therefore if you ever drink and drive, lose the keys.

Teen drinking is a major issue now. As the teens start to feel more mature they tend to think that they can make better decisions for themselves when sometimes it can be worse decisions. According to an article by Kulbhushaan Raghuvanshi, in 2009 almost all of the deaths were from teen drinking and driving. That doesn’t sound good at all! Is this because teens feel unwanted or not noticed? Yes it sort of is the issue. Many teens feel like they need to reach society’s expectations in school or maybe at home. Showing or letting teens know about what can and has happened will give a chance of them learning a lesson before a disaster happens. So before drinking and driving think about the consequences.
