So many young teens have learned a valuable lesson, too bad it had to come at such a high cost :(sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257187295252427531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941120871084247954.post-51080512155057602932011-04-16T15:34:34.080-04:002011-04-16T15:34:34.080-04:00Oh, Jen. . .such hard lessons.

SENSELESS....is all I can think of. It seems like the more teens you pile in a car, the more reckless they become. I don't mean to lump all teens in that statement, but I see some really senseless, stupid stuff and it just floors me. <br />I know this sounds very "old personish", but I'm not so sure that raising the driving age to 18 isn't such a bad idea. I don't think people (teens especially) realize the level of responsibility they are under when they get behind the wheel. What a terrible waste of life. So sorry for his family and what they have to be going through right now.Susan Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387510304089583710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941120871084247954.post-45231379906824186872011-04-16T09:29:51.435-04:002011-04-16T09:29:51.435-04:00My heart goes out to his family and your community...My heart goes out to his family and your community. So sad to read about any life lost, especially when it could have been prevented and to someone so young. Our nephew was in a car accident with his truck and he was thrown...he was not paying attention when he was driving, but for him...he walked away from it and thankfully, no one was in the area that could have gotten hurt.<br /><br />Blessings & Aloha!<br />I had also wanted to return your visit and say thank you for stopping.Personalized Sketches and Sentimentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540064662050920859noreply@blogger.com
