MADD Presentation

This presentation was directed to both legal and illegal drinking. It consisted of real life stories, and people who spoke about their past experiences from friends and family members. MADD presents a serious issue in which teens should take in to consideration because it involves the safety of not only the teens themselves but also those who are around them. After the watching the presentation, I felt the intimate and emotional experiences that the people in the video felt. This is because they spoke about issues that are relevant to everyone. Though some cannot relate to this video in which they did not have the same experience, it does affect them in which they can save the lives of themselves and others by making decisions ahead of time, and by making responsible decisions to not drink and drive. In order to stay safe, teens have choices such as calling a cab, calling a sober driver, calling a parent or a responsible friend or guardian to bring them home. If these responsible choices are not made, the teen may result in riding in a different vehicle that will not be taking them home, such as an ambulance. After watching the video, I felt engaged to spread the word about driving responsibly. I knew that in order to keep everyone safe, including yourself, teens must make decisions while knowing the consequences. In conclusion, to keep teens safe they must keep in mind that drinking and driving is irresponsible, even if you are not the one driving, because part of that responsible decision is to not take a risk by getting into a car as a passenger with a drunk driver.
