"I started drinking and smoking marijuana when I was ten years old and now I'm fifteen years old. I'd go into my parents liquor cabinet and have parties and invite my friends over whenever my parents were out-of-town. We would see how much we could drink before we did something silly. My best friend Susan was 18 years old. One night, we decided to drive to the mall and hang out. Susan was the only one with a drivers license. That night Susan seemed kind of out-of-it, and I know I shouldn't have gotten into the car with her, but I didn't want to show that I was scared or chicken to drive with her. I never knew that Susan had been arrested before for drunk driving. She was my best friend but she never told me that. Anyway, that night on the way to the mall, we had the radio blasting and we never heard the oncoming fire engine. I can't remember exactly what happened, but I ended up in the hospital for 3 months with a broken pelvis and punctured lung. My best friend Susan died at the scene. I went through drug rehabilitation and I'm okay today. But I will never forget what happened and I'll never party with drugs or alcohol again and I'll never drive with anyone who drinks and uses DRUGS!"

Let me tell everyone something. Pot is harmless. In fact, its been proven to be safer than asprin. Arresting innocent pot smokers only increases the size of jails and doesn't allow police to focus on REAL crimes(rape,murder,kidnapping etc.) It's pretty clear, too bad the majority is ignorant and easily influenced by websites like this. What a pity..

if you have a friend aged 18 you should know that she is more mature than you. you shouldnt have got in the car and how you did you shout have stopped and told yoyrslef no. it must have been hard for you though as she died no1 should ever die no matter what they do. but she was silly doing what she done. you were a bit young to start drinking and smokeing it not good for you and it was not a very good idea to drink as much as you can before you do sumothing silly it always ends up in tears or even worse someone geting hurt. she couldnt of been your best friend not telling you stuff and makeing

I have read this story and i thought to myself how could people do something like that. i think that parents should keep an eye on there children and talk to them. somethimes teenagers do things to get somebody attention. when your teenager is slacking on school work talk with them because they may be using. i know from experience. i went through the party stage and i am not out of it yet, but soon i will.

I think that if your stupid enough to drink and drive than you deserve to go through the consequences and pains of people dieing and maybe even killing your self while you are driving with somebody that is drunk or under the influence of drugs. I know i wouold never get into somebodies car that has been drinking.

Maybe if you hadn't made that horrible decisions and driven with someone who was drunk you then you wouldn't have gotten into a car crash? I guess things might be different where I live, but we would never let someone who is drunk drive, thats just plain irresponsible.
