teens.

There was a massive car accident just outside of town a few days ago. A bunch of boys, most of them being 16/17, were racing their cars while drunk at 5am. They crashed into each other - one boy died and the rest were rushed to the ER.

Most of the survivors are still in the ICU. A boy lost his ear and broke both elbows. Another has brain damage. One is gone. And one of the drivers already had a rap sheet for drunk driving prior to that night.

But what might be most disturbing is that the FB walls of their boys are covered with posts like "get better soon bro so we can party it up!" and "man... I miss my favorite drinking buddy!", etc.

Shouldn't this be a message for their friends that maybe, just maybe, their lifestyles of getting hammered and being stupid isn't the best choice? That maybe there is a better way to grow up?

The kids in the town need to see the seriousness of this accident and recognize it as a wake-up call.
