"I wish I never listened to the guys. It all started out as fun, drinking beer and cruising around the school at night. We mess around a couple of nights a week and never got caught. One night, we got pulled over by the cops, I was driving and had 3 buddies in the car with me. We drank a full six pack and still had the empty bottles in the car. A soon as I heard the siren I knew we were busted. I wound up in jail for 24 hours. My parents had to hire a lawyer and we all had to go to court. My coach found out and I got thrown off the football team. I lost my part-time job cause I didn't show up for work that night. I just started the job and was saving money toward my new car. Instead, the judge ordered me to pay a $250 fine and I had to do 50 hours of community service by running errands for senior citizens in my neighborhood. What a mess for me and my family. I'm graduating in a few months and my parents had promised to give me a down payment for my car, but now that car is out of the question. I won't let my friends talk me into drinking and driving ever again.

Your personal expirience as helped me with my PErsuasive essay a ton. In my school we are starting a reach out program where we can speak to teenagers about Drugs and stuff...hopefully this will encourage teenagers to never start drinking.
All who think living in America sucks are wrong. By having these rules most of us are never tempted to drink or smoke underage. Where the heck would we get the drugs anyways? By having our law s the way they are, it is twice as hard to find the drugs to begin with.

All people make mistakes. But one must learn from them. I hope you realize the seriousness that is involved in drunk driving, whether it is one beer or several. Thank God that no one was injured or killed. Please think before you drink and drive!!
