Critical Thinking, News item

Recently a week ago I was sitting down eating breakfast when a breaking story came on t.v. A high school girl had gone to her homecoming dance and that night changed her life forever. Apparently she was in her dance and her friend suggested they would go outside and hang out with some guys. They started drinking and ended up getting really drunk. They said in the news that she was raped by about ten teenagers while she was unconscious. While the girl was being raped (identity withheld) the other men where taking pictures and recording video of the whole incident. The cops arrived too late and she was put in the hospital in emergency. She is stable but she was furiously beat and raped by several men. At the time she might have that it was cool to go outside and start drinking with a bunch of boys. The reality was that its dangerous to drink period and more so with a crowd of ten men who will most likely not take care of a young girl intoxicated. I'm sure the girl had no idea that leaving her dance and drinking would create this amount of chaos in her life. The sad reality though is that young teens are at risk of many things and we should never put ourselves in a dangerous position.
