"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!"

I think that what the REAL question is, is why would anybody who is 18 years old would hang out with a 15 year old. Obviously there was something wrong with Susan. The other question that I'll bet Susan is asking is, "Was the fire engine a big enough target." and to that, i would say 'yes' because she hit it.

I think that parents should pay more attention to what their kids are doing because if they dont ask where they are going with who why and all those questions kids are going to do whatever they want beliving that their parents dont care about them. Also parents if you have an old kid and some small ones dont let the oldest one take care of the rest of the kids because that is just too much pressure for a teen to handle and that can also lead them to drugs and things like that. I personally wish my mom wouldnt do that because its just taking my life away and because of that sometimes i have eve

I'm noticing many people here saying that "drugs r stupid" or what have you. I would like to point out that this is a gross overgeneralization, and should be treated as such, and only as that. In over one thousand years of use, marijuana hasn't caused ONE overdose, can you say the same for alcohol, or codeine, or temazepam, or any of the other substances in the cornucopia of perfectly legal drugs availiable today? When it comes right down to it, marijuana users are all around you. They're the people that mow your lawns, pass your laws, pay your bills, and protect your streets, and quite si

Drunk driving is stupid, period. Always get a designated driver so that you can drink as much as you want and smoke as much pot as you want and still get home safely.
