Girl (14) drinks herself in to a coma


This article immediately attracked my attention, because my sister is 14. And it makes you think about the age all these kids start drinking very hard liquor and how they act. Especially if I look at 14 year olds nowadays; the things they do at 14 are things I did at 17. They set their boundaries in different ways, do not think about the consequences and act like they are much older than they are.
It is not like I myself never drunk at that age but at least I was already careful and was able to set my own boundaries and thought about the consequences of my actions and my friends as well. Nowadays it is even a hype to drink so much that you fall in to a "coma". It is only hard reality for these teenagers when someone actually falls in to one for real. That is why I think it is very well that they posted this news item.

Furthermore I think this article attracks enough attention with the picture they used and in the way they have written the story. I only think that it is written to light minded. I think it is important that teenagers around that age take these alarming news items seriously so that they do not end up in that kind of position themselves.
