What's worse, drugs, gangs, or a teenage girl driving?


Before you read, please answer the following question:
Which one is more lethal for teenagers?
A. Gangs
B. Drugs
C. Teenage girl driving (includes all the texting and makeup)
D. Driving and talking on the phone


Today we had a seminar about distracted driving which was mostly related to teens. A mother, who was the presenter in this case, was talking about a death of her son who was killed in an accident. Five friends going to movies on Saturday night got a little carried away when it came to driving. The driver, who was a 17 year old teenage girl, after even feeling that the car was jerking all over the place, didn't want to slow down because she didn't want to be the party pooper. Other friends wanted to ask her to slow down, but they, too, didn't want to be party poopers. As a result, the car started spinning and hit a tree. 16 year old teen sitting in the passenger seat died instantly. Another one was in coma for 2 weeks. One of the friends had broken ribs, a girl had a to through a therapy and the driver, who was also the girlfriend of the teen who died, has to carry the heavy price of loosing her boyfriend. What if she would've been more responsible? Maybe a little older? And what's funny, stats say that texting and driving increases your chances of dying in an accident 15 times. This whole time, wherever I went, I never seen any teenage boy text and drive. I have seen them lean out of the windows, put the music up, speed sometimes, but they never had an accident. Teenage girls is a different story. They like to put make up on, text their friends, eat, talk on the phone (even though boys do it too). And women themselves don't have a sense of responsibility at the age of 18. They are not like us, men, who do most of the stuff responsibly. The other day, a guy from Notre Dame High School was killed in an accident. He was running while an 18 year old girl hit him. Another couple years ago, a girl from Clark was killed in a similar accident. You know what's common between these three accidents? In all cases, it was a teenage girl driving! Government should change the law, making it legal for women to get their permit at the age of 18 and get their driving license at the age of 21. That way, the numbers of deaths will decrease drastically. 


Answer to the question above: C: Teenage girl driving.
