    i so agree about lowering the age to 18. if they would do that then people would stay out of trouble more often. people that are older than 21 and can guy alcohol wont be getting in trouble for buying alcohol for a minor anymore.

    u cant blame ur self. It would have happened if u were drunk or not. When someone has that on there mind theres really nothing u can do about it. The best thing to do is always have a date or be in a group. Rap is not the persons fault that got rapped but the person that did it. DONT BLAME UR SELF>

    If someone cant have something, they want it more. (tell someone NOT to look right, i bet they look right) tell someone they cant have beer, i bet theyll want beer. and theyll find a way to get it. finding a way to get it can be resolved... all they need to do, is lower the drinking age to 18. More people will realize they can drink, and will drink responsibly once they realize they can do it often enough that they dont need to go all out all the time when they get a chance..(which in some cases is rare). plus people above the age of 21 will not be buying beer for minors, so less arrests will
