Read This and Think About What it Means....

On the first day of school, everything went great
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "i want to be popular and i'm going to be,
Because i just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout
And dating this guy would surely help her out
There was only one problem stopping her fate
Her parents had said she was too young to date
"Well i just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night
Her parents frowned but said "all right"
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense
She began to fell guilty about all the lies
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good and the movie was great,
But the moonlight ride would just have to wait
For Jeff was half drunk by this time
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine
Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff
Now Jeff was ready to drive to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive
They finally made it the point at last
And Jeff started trying to make a pass
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass i don't mean playing football)
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe i am too young
Boy, how could i ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might she pushed Jeff away
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas
In a matter of minutes they were going too fast
As Jeff drove off in a fit of anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down
But he just got faster as they neared the town
"Just let me get home, I'll confess that i lied."
I really went out for a moonlight ride.
Then all of a sudden she saw a big flash
"Oh God, please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of the impact
Just that everything all of a sudden went black
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble
And heard, "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"
Voices she heard, a few words at best
But she knew two cars were involved in the wreck
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right
And if the people in the other car were alive
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside of her head
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead
They said, "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!???" Jenny cried
"We're sorry Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me of what I've done
I only wanted to have one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied
And that it's my fault so many have died"
"Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there---she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes.
And a few minutes later, Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse, " Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes oh, so sad
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad"
This story is sad and unpleasant but true,
So young people take heed, it could have been you.
