"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.

as a student who wants to become a lawyer i think that this child is a typical teenager. all teenagers want to fit in the crowd whcih is to drink like the others. some think they can drink and get away withe it. but it ends up being the exact oppostie. some end up in jail or in straight up trouble. so i can understand if he does this because all teenagers end up doing this some time in their lives.

hey what you did was wrong not only could you hert yourself and friends you could have hert others. My sister and cousin where hit buy a drunk driver 10 days ago not only did it take their left legs at the age of 12 and 14 but my sister was in a coma for 8 days but is just barling wakeing up and still can't talk. She still doesn't know that she even lost her leg yet. Thank god that they are still alive and my cousin is doing well and had to get around with a wheel chair. Just think before you decide to drink and drive becouse anything could happen.
