Here'* yet another reason that I stay sober and straight when I go to parties.

I just found out this morning that Stephen Boston, an acquaintance of mine and a good friend to a lot of people passed away on Sunday. He was drunk, riding in a car with a drunk driver. They hit a tree. The driver walked away.

Now I am sitting here missing classes because I am too upset to function. I can't believe this happened. Because Stephen was a graduate from my former high school. The school is small (less then 250 students), so we all know each other. Stephen was a graduate of the class before me.

He was 20 years old.

For the love of God, people, learn from others' mistakes. Don't drink and drive, it'* dumb. If nothing else, think of the possibility that you'd hurt someone else. Also, think how many people would have to hurt just becuase you wouldn't give up your keys.

That'* very sad to hear, and i'm sorry for you and everythign that'* going on. My High School had way to many problems with drinking, i think we were #3 on Cosmo'* list for top schools in the country for it...

Not that my college is any better, but it keeps me away.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I hear about all kinds of people doing such a foolish thing around campus. Whenever I do drink, I never come close to a car, and I'm always in walking distance of my room.

Lessons that are hard to learn, but oh so necessary....sorry to hear about the passing of your friend Christy....terrible waste it is

I'm very sorry to hear that Christine and hope you feel better soon. It'* always hard to find out someone you were close to died much sooner than they should have.

I just found out who the driver was. He was on a suspended license due to the fact that he almost killed some OTHER people from our school two years ago...same reason. It'* sad when people can't learn from other people'* mistakes, it'* tragic when they can't learn from their own.

He walked away from both accidents.

--Christine :(

My former high school has lots of incidences like this. This summer/fall alone, 5 kids were killed. They were all separate accidents, but there was one that had 2 kids together. My sister also just told me of a girl she knows at school who sat on some guys lap when he was driving - they were both drunk - and flipped the car.
So she broke some bones and they had to make up a lame *** excuse about her hurting herself, and "got rid of" the car if you know what i mean, considering it was his parents and his license is already suspended. Stupid kids.

That is sad...If you must drink..don't drive.

vehicular manslaughter?


Sorry about your major loss :(

Yes, he is facing involuntary manslaughter charges. 5 years in jail, minimum. He'* 19. My age!
