One Night of Fun ...


... can lead to more than you planned.

Your life ROCKS!

You're in high school, your curfew is extended, you're making new friends, you're getting your driver's license, and your parents are giving you way more freedom. Before long you have earned your diploma and you're rolling into the work force or heading off to college. You feel as though you have arrived - this is FULL ON FREEDOM, at long last!

 
If you have heard it once, you have heard it a thousand times: "With this freedom, comes responsibility." You have smiled, nodded, and agreed with the well-meaning adults who launched into the concerned lecture ... and you couldn't wait to escape and hook up your friends to party. It's incredible that these adults are saying this to you, yet again. You are convinced that they are completely paranoid, excessively UNcool, and pulling the ultimate kill-joy move.

OK, at the risk of you judging this blog post to be excessively UNcool, we hope you will consider the above statistics about underage & binge drinking, sexual assault, sexually transmitted diseases, and unplanned pregnancy. We can't stop you from partying; we can't stop you from having unprotected sex; we can't stop what may happen to you if get too drunk. Just please be careful - so much can go so terribly wrong. You don't want your life to be forever altered as a direct result of your binge drinking.
