Teenage racers.......

Remember when you felt invincible?You thought you could do it all, and never get hurt? I was like that at a time, a time when things seemed so different,but I think all young people go through this at one age or another. I had great friends die when they were young, because of mistakes,that should not have been. My daughters have had friends to die at the same aweful mistakes.Young people seem to think they can get in a car and go, not just go but race. They arent just putting their own lives at risk, but others out on the road. I know of kids who race today, and no one seems to care. They just let them go and forget what they do once they are out the door. But what happens when an officer comes to the door, to tell them their child is no more? Will they then remember, and wish they had said something once before? What happens when that child takes another precious life,while thinking they own the road before them,and then have to spend 20 to life? Why do we stand by and let this happen and say nothing? Do we not care enough or is it just not our place? If it was Your child would you want to know? Do you even think it is wrong? If you thought it would save your child,would you take a stand? Or wait until there is no more, and have nothing to hold your hand?
