Every weekend you see or heard about teen Drinking driving. High speed killing self and other !!WHY?? parents give fast car/trucks?
Then were are these teens getting the stuff to drink ?? I do not understand?
Buying
getting someone to or from parents?
Does the parent get held responable for these accidents??(UNDER 18 )
I know when we had 3 teens we knew who/where/what they were doing at 2 or 3 in the morning?
It only been 9 yr thing change??
What can be done.
I think driving should be changed to 18 but I know that not going to happen But think how many would be alive if that was so.
Everywhere teens have access to getting booze. I will admit NC is not very strict about id policies though. Granted, I am 27 now, but I have a baby face and got carded literally every time in MA unless they knew me. In NC I seem to get carded less than 25% of the time
You're joking right? Wake county school students have access to pot,pills,coke even heroin. Getting beer or liquor is easy. Takes some time and a little cash.
I imagine it is just as easy in other states.
it's not that hard. older brother or sister. friends older brother or sister. when it comes to 16 year olds there's a lot of middlemen, but it gets to them fairly easily. same thing as when i lived in new jersey, arkansas, south carolina, cali and new york. its more of an american thing than a north carolinian thing lol
Actually, while teen driving deaths are high in NC (I believe NC is something like #2 in the nation) teen driving deaths have been decreasing significantly - IIHS-HLDI
Driving death rates for teen males have declined 70% since 1975 and for females by 53%.
I can make 64 ozs of hard cider for about 5 bux in materials from the grocery story that will knock your socks off. The materials are there for anyone to use. It doesn't need to be someone not ID'ing an underage kid or someone providing it. You can make it yourself in able 2 weeks.
You can't protect everyone from every risk in life.
How about people stop demonizing it for anyone under 21? Kids have seen more by age ten than most people over 50 saw by twice that age. Treat teenagers with more intellectual respect, and realize that they have the capacity to learn.
OR, dangle it over their heads and wag your finger at them, so they have to sneak it, so that when they finally get their hands on it, they don't know what they are doing and they make a mistake that cannot be undone.
