Pop Culture #10

     I hardly ever watch the news but yesterday morning I woke up and my roommate was watching it ... All I saw were stories about where young people were killing theirselves from being bullied or stories about car accidents from texting and driving/ talking on the phone. I usually don't diss on the advances we make in this day and time; but when people value their texts and other media over their lives, something is seriously screwed up. I am a die hard rule follower when it comes to not texting and driving because I have lost so many friends and just people from my area that were friends of friends from wrecking. I see the after effect on families and friends; I wish everyone could take this into consideration.
     This also stems from the ignorance of teenageers who think they are invincible! Nothing could be that important that it distracts you from the obvious fact that you're driving a car and kind of need to watch the road. It doesn't really shock me because of the way we act now as a culture than the way people acted back in the day before texting and what-not. I think we need to prioritize what we value a little more!
