She had the choice that night of any one of many options. She could have stayed home. She could have gone to Steak N Shake with friends. She could have gone to a friend's house. She chose wrong.
I mean it sucks for her friends and family to have to go through this because of her poor choice that night... but look on the bright side - maybe, just maybe, other kids who were thinking of doing the same thing will take a second look at the risk and choose to do something else.
Yeah... probably not. Kids are dumb these days.

Whadda ya have some inside info that she died? They upped her to 'serious condition'. She'll be fine.SikofFalln;251294 wrote:What does quoting a stupid TV show have to do with this?
It is clinically documented that teenagers do not have a fully developed frontal lobe which can be directly attributed to poor decision making. I was just saying have a little empathy for a young life that is lost and god forbid show some tact.
No inside info, just real world experience working in Level 1 ICU setting and witnessing first hand the detrimental affects of swelling of the brain.Mazkid;251303 wrote:Whadda ya have some inside info that she died? They upped her to 'serious condition'. She'll be fine.
