This awakening is a sad lesson, and at a shocking cost! She certainly sets a good example which I pray others,will follow her lead.And not only for their wellbeing, but out of respect for that young man and all who knew and loved him.Debbie Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985873657582038261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076762051720433110.post-14343511637928832722009-02-06T08:44:00.000-08:002009-02-06T08:44:00.000-08:00Oh, Bev, that is terrible! that is a hard life le...Oh, Bev, that is terrible! that is a hard life lesson for his friends to have learned.<BR/><BR/>I think kids are just naive and trusting.

That is way too much for anyone to deal with, especially at her young age.<BR/><BR/>I didn't go to college when I was 18 so I don't know about house parties, but I do think back to how stupid and trusting I was in regards to strangers and sometimes I think it's a miracle I'm still alive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076762051720433110.post-57935035063431870492009-01-31T22:25:00.000-08:002009-01-31T22:25:00.000-08:00We did the same thing is our younger days.

I just think it was a different time then. Incidents like this one were a rarity. Now that they are becoming the "norm", hopefully, young people will adapt accordingly and carefully screen their guest list.Melodieann Whiteleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066358191161366214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076762051720433110.post-75784058229682396272009-01-31T20:06:00.000-08:002009-01-31T20:06:00.000-08:00This is horrible.

Most of the time, I never knew the person throwing the party; I was just invited, but I rarely went. However, I did go to a couple before college and one while in college. I went with friends but never knew the person throwing the party; no big deal to any of us.<BR/><BR/>I also went to a few of these parties after I graduated, up to around age 30 or so. Still never knew the host, but had a good time. Always met the host, though; I thought it was the courteous thing to do.<BR/><BR/>When we get older, we segregate better, but as younger people,... we trust our friends to do the right thing. We just might not always be correct.Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02125633934727204568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076762051720433110.post-80671403458499672792009-01-31T05:29:00.000-08:002009-01-31T05:29:00.000-08:00How sad!
