Lost Uncle and A Cousin in Prison
When I was 11 (now 23), I witnessed my uncle die. I saw his last breath, and the color of his skin slowly change from healthy skin to green/blue, and eventually shades of purple. He and his girlfriend were drinking and he ended up on top of her car... while she drove until he eventually flew from the car, hitting his head on the street, and becoming comatose. He was on life support, but was no chance for recovery.
Watching someone you love literally die, is the most heart-breaking experience. His girlfriend was charged with vehicular homicide and served maybe 6 months of her 3 year sentence. My cousin, on the other hand, was convicted of vehicular homicide because he and his friends chose to drink, and do drugs while driving. My cousin, who was driving with 2 friends rolled his vehicle and one of his friends lost his life. My cousin is now serving 7-12 years in prison for that night. Please, think about the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse. It doesn't just affect your life, but MANY other lives around you!
