On Tuesday, Nov. 16th, we had the annual Crusin' Not Boozin' assembly. In each assembly, speakers told their tragic stories and brought the message to us of how their mistakes affected them and their families. The stories at both assemblies were remarkable.
All of us have sat with speakers who survived from big errors like drinking, drugs, recklessness or big problems like eating diorders. Sometimes we don't even hear the speakers because we are so used to this kind of thing. But sometimes we do.
There really is no way to judge who is being helped by bringing these speakers to us. I hear with my adult ears. What do you hear with your younger ears? You know what I mean: does it help to listen to survivors?

Yes,it helps me realize to make wiser choices at the age i'm at.Cause one little incident can change your whole life. One of the speakers really opened my eyes basically saying drugs is not worth ruining your life.
I feel it helped to have the assembly and listen to survivor stories but it sort of feels like a reminder because we have this every year, but that isn't a bad thing. Throughout the year sometimes we forget about what we hear but this always puts its in a firmer place in my mind. Especially since I will be able to get my driver's license soon it is a major danger in my life. It can be a decision of life or death. So, yes these assemblies do help and it helps to listen to survivors.
When teenagers and adults are drinking it is very important that they have there limit. And do not drink and drive home. People end up drinking so much alcohol they think that they can do anything that comes to there mind. When getting behind the wheel when drinking or even being drunk, doesn't just endanger you. But also people that are just doing daily things. People that are just minding there own business. There the ones that end up getting hurt.
You should only drink if your are old enough to drink and never drink and drive and if you do you will have to accept the consequences if you get pulled over buy the cops. Also never drink over the legal limit because you start to not act like yourself and stay out of trouble. Also if you are the driver dont drink at all !
