I agree. If they were 46 and 47, and playing with cars, I would say the gene pool is better off.Originally Posted by Catty1

But 16 and 17?

OMG that's horrible. One of the reasons I think the driving age is TOO low. But I suppose that is easy to say considering I NEVER got my license at ALL until I was 28 years of age Married with a child. at 16 years old I was mature enough to stay home alone for a week, have a job, everything else without parental supervision... but driving something that could KILL with so much immaturity still left in me? Not a chance and I knew it. Thank goodness for me. When Home alone I kept all doors locked.. didn't throw parties... would have my best friend over perhaps to watch movies and we would lock ourselves in my mom's room the entire night and go together to the kitchen to get more snacks lol. perhaps I was a wimp... but I was trustworthy and careful. but I still wouldn't drive.
I think 16 is too young to have a license and be able to drive without anyone else. It is and I stand by that. If Hannah wants to drive at 16 well... she will have to buy and pay for her own car at at that age either that or buy a junker and put the time into fixing it up. Otherwise she will drive with my husband or I on private land way out in the boonies with no one around.
that is a SCARY age to let behind the wheel of a machine that they have had zero experience behind unless they stared driving classes at 15 and still ONE YEAR behind a vehicle capable of that kind of thing is NOT enough.
R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

Youth thinks it's invincible. Even though they know what death is, I'm sure that they didn't even think it was close to them. How sad for everyone but especially for the girl. She'll never be the same.
Blessings,

I hope you find a way to send that message to the girl, RICHARD.

After YEARS of doing stupid shiat like that? I am pretty sure that I have a guardian angel or some kind of partnership with the people that god looks after.
I am way too old to be a child, I am not drunk ALL the time and think that I am the fool....
I was young, stupid and brain dead for a long time.
I have no other explanation.

IT is a terrible story, but hey, we were all young, dumb and were going to live forever...some day.
