In the next 24hour, 10 000 teenagers are gambling with their life by drinking for the first time. Yesle: The part when the parents were at the cemetery and reading their letters made me think about alcohol. It made realize that drinking alcohol not only affects me but all the people around you especially your family. Grace: The parts when the policeman knocked on the families’ doors, and the letter-reading at the cemetery, affected me deeply. It almost made me cry because you could feel the love emanating from everyone. It perfectly describes us as teenagers: how we love our parents so, so much but we never voice it, and what can happen to us before we can. Jade: The part when the friends would find out that they killed their best friends and have to live with the guilt for the rest of their lives. I know someone who had the same problem and his best friend died in his arms. So this really makes me think twice about drinking.
