Wow... this is too far Options

I knew you'd chime in with that one... I still swear I was handed everclear by people telling me it was water.

it works overseas because they've done it that way for like... hundreds of years. somehow I doubt it would work overnight here.

Few policy changes are effective if implemented overnight. I think, though, that a gradual reduction of the drinking age could work quite well. 18 for starters, then work down from there.

Well I think the worst households are where the adults drink but forbid the kids from drinking because "it's something for adults to do". The forbidden fruit angle makes it all the more tempting for kids later on. But I definitely agree that parental involvement is key on this and other issues.

Never was a problem for me /shrug If anything, it can also be a motivator. You see how your parents act, consequences of their actions - liver operation/jail/emotional roller coaster/etc - and you just don't even bother.

Hell yeah! Let em get used to the impairment in motor function while they're cruising around on their bicycles. Few broken limbs and road rash will teach em not to get into a car when they get their licenses.

i can't decide if this would be the most awful, or the most awesome video to watch....

my high school did the same thing. then when it was told it was a hoax the students that were "dead" came to school for the rest of the day wearing shirts about the statistics of automobile accidents. i thought it was pretty good

we had something similar to this but we were never told anyone actually died.

just some select students wore shirts with statistics and then they weren't allowed to talk all day, like to pretend they were dead kinda.

i think that stuff is fine, but when you actually tell students that "so and so" died over the weekend, that's horribly wrong. you're giving specific names and potentially could make some kids just go nuts...i know when i was in high school, i'd never experienced death before, and to do that at school for the first time would be too tramatic for some.

i think they should just beat the living shit out of all highschool students on a regular basis.

yeah, some of the good ones will get beat too, but they're just gonna have to tough it out for four years so we can keep the fucktards in check.
