I am amazed at the stupidity of today's generation of kids. At some point, we are all immature, but nothing like this. Personally, I will not feel bad for this teenager, but I feel bad and can imagine the huge heartbreak for her parents. No one wants to bury their young flesh and blood.
Last October, there was a car accident in Texas. Four people are in the car. Three of the group survived primarily of having and keeping on their seat belts. The fourth, Kailee Mills, took hers off and was killed as a result. With what the police had to say, their conclusion was the car lost control as a result of too much speed. As far as Mills goes, she was attempting to take a selfie.
Both parents of Mills have taken action and now have launched a foundation to promote the use of seat belts. Although authorities all over the country have to spot ones without them and the use of the click it or ticket PSA, there is always the few that either forget or deliberately take it off. Selfies are a big thing, but shit like that can wait until you get to your destination, which was a Halloween party. There's more to life than putting up more photos for your Instagram and Snapchat accounts. Teenagers have a lot more ahead of them. It's not worth it. More proof that seat belts can in fact save your life.
There's not much else to say. Just having this kind of awareness and foundation can hopefully keep kids and teenagers (some adults, too) from making a fatal decision.
