Teen Trauma

     I saw a news story today that I would like to pass on. They remind all of us parents that prom season is starting and that we need to be concerned about kids driving that night.

I believe they said that more teenagers die from car crashes than any other way. Most of the crashes involve either drunk, drugged, or tired drivers. Next would come distractions while driving such as music changing, eating, reading, and putting on makeup.

We need to make our teens realize that every time they get into a car, they are at some risk and must not only take care, but they must be aware of what is going on in the car and around the car.

My own cousin lost her son due to being a passenger in a car with a driver who had been drinking. It was devastating and unnecessary, and it can happen to anyone, anytime.
