Kids are bulletproof don't you know?
My friends 15 year old son was involved in a crash recently (as a passenger).
Five kids in one car and the driver had only just got his licence three weeks before.
He was doing 120kmh in an 80kmh zone racing another car.
I don't call it an accident because it wasn't 'accidental', it was gross stupidity and was destined to happen... anyway one kid was cut from the wreck and airlifted to hospital with severe injuries, my friends son wound up with concussion, bruising and sore neck muscles. This was only because the tree trunk came through the front passenger door and not the rear door where he was sitting.
So did that teach him a lesson about reckless teenage driving... YES??... NO!!!
He thinks that because he walked away from this crash it proves he can survive ANY crash... it proves HE IS INVINCIBLE!!
When I tried to explain to him that's not how it works he told me I didn't know what I was talking about and I was an idiot.
I'll give him two years and he'll be another statistic... if he doesn't kill someone else in the process!
How do you get through to these disfunctional teenage minds?
