I Need A Little Help

On Wednesday, a friend of mine died in a car wreck. She was a 13 year old girl that I grew up with. She went out with a 17 year guy (who has a son) and a 25 year old guy and were drinking and driving. She snuck out of the house and they jumped over a hill and hit a tree 20 feet in the air. She was the only one who died. She died instantly. I am really tore up about this and I have no idea how to help her mom because she has gone nuts.

Her ex boyfriend use to be my boyfriend about 2 years ago and we dated for about 6 months. He is extremely tore up. Not only did this effect her school but it also effected our high sschool and Ryan has started a program in which to control alcoholism and drugs because this upcoming freshman class is horrible. Do you have any ideas that we could use to help with this program. This program is going to be called the "Kala Smith Foundating" in honor of her. Ryan is having a hard time because her parents are blaming him for teaching her how to sneak out, but in the end, she is the one who made the decision. Another thing is that she denied our Lord and savior and it is sad to think that she might not be in a better place!

Damn that's fu**ed UP poor chick i hope that god forgives her for not beliving in him. Dang that's why everyone should think twice about doing something stoopid, for the foundation i think you should make programs that would interest kids her age and i think you guys should be role models for them so they can stop making mistakes

Do you mean like fundraising ideas? What kind of help? That's so heartbreaking to hear.

in high school we had a program where some students from school staged a car accident. One the first day they showed us how they were all partying and having fun drinking smoking and all kinds of stuff these were real students from our school and they made everything on video seem so real like they were really partying. Then a guest speaker came in heis wife dies in a car accident and he was severly hurt his whole back was burned and he has major scars on his face he walked around talking to us with his shirt off so we could be reminded of what could happen to a victim of drunk driving. The next day they showed a video of our classmates leaving then all of a sudden we heard police sirens and a crash. Everyone went out outside and there was two cars that hit head on with a girl sticking out of the windshield another on the floor one stuck in another car and the only one to survive was the drunk driver. They care flighted a girl covered one up with a blanket and the ambulane took one away then after the scene was cleaned up we went back to class . There were people walking around campus with there faces painted white to represent the people that die in drunk driving accidents. The next day they had the furnerals for those who died and then they were reading there own obituary wow it got to me and made me realize allot of things. Maybe something like this would help your school out because some people think dat nothing will ever hurt them or things like dat cant happen to them but seeing this makes you think more responsibly!

Yeah, it is crazy and she was an idiot! It is sad because everyone in the situation is to blame and the whole town is going crazy about it. The car is covered with a tarp at the crash place so no one can see it and then they had to shave the tree they hit because there was blood all over it. Kayla's mom has gone nuts. It is just all messed up!

Yesterday was the visitation. They had police on all blocks for a mile surrounding the funeral home. Greg, the 17 year old, was said to have been coming to the funeral and they were ready to get him. They made everyone get searched before going into the funeral home and they pulled off a total 22 hand guns off of people ready to kill him. It is crazy!

I just need help thinking of some ideas as to how we can address these kids about alcohol and drugs. Like neat ideas that you think might sink into their minds. You know, kids have DARE in 5th grade, but there is nothing after that when we really need it. We need something. This is 12th death due to drinking and driving in my high school since I was a freshman! And I am only a junior about to be a senior! It is crazy and there needs to be something!
