*sigh* a crazy day around here, especially for my sister. she was at a softball tournament down in pennsylvania and 8 of her teammates were involved in a car accident. the cause of the crash: they were driving side-by-side on a two lane road. a car was headed toward them and the girl swerved back into the right lane, clipping the back of the other car. one of the cars hit a telephone pole. my sister was riding with my dad and didn't see the accident happen, but saw the wrecked cars and her teammates being loaded into ambulances. what makes it all worse was that one of the drivers didn't even have a license...she's only 16 (driving age in NJ is 17).
I'm so glad that my sister wasn't in one of those cars...many of the girls are really hurt. one cracked 3 vertebrae and had to be flown to philadelphia. another girl went through the windshield and tore up her face. a third girl broke her femur (her thigh bone)...it will be at least 5 months before she walks again.
what i can't believe in all of this is how fucking stupid kids can be. what could posess someone to drive side by side on a 2 lane road? why would someone let a 16 year old drive her brand new car (which is impounded now, by the way)? i really don't understand it at all. there's being a kid, and then there's being fucking stupid...the girls responsible for that accident surpassed the stupid classification today. because of their irresponsibility, there are at least 2 girls who may never play softball again, and an entire team whose season might be over (they don't have a deep bench, and no one knows if the coach will try and find some more players). why, why, why do kids have to be so stupid???
so i go to bed now in disbelief of the mentality of some teenagers today, relieved that my sister has a good head on her shoulders, thankful that no one was killed, and leaving a message to my tiny audience out there:
a driver's license does not give you the right to be retarded. for the love of all things holy, be careful out there. and tell your friends and siblings to do the same. g'nite everyone.
