I read an article about how teens in Colorado text while driving, found in the Denver Post. This article talks how about teens all over the state in Colorado text while driving. "Fifty-one percent of Colorado teen drivers admitted to text messaging and 66 percent said they used their cell phones while driving, according to results of a survey released today”. Texting while driving is a terrible habit to do because it can end up being a huge accident or worse it can lead to death. I think that this relates to me because I know older kids that drive and they text at the same time. I dislike that because all those older kids are my friends and I'm afraid that their habit could lead to a severe injury. Teens usually only hear about how young adults, even adults, die in car accidents from being drunk or high or just by an occasional accident. They also never think that something like that could ever to happen to them, even though it could have just happened to his or her friend. Something so fatal never sinks into any of the teenagers brains these days. Texting while driving is a bad habit because you can look down for a quick second and boom everything you had planned on doing that day or night or week or later on in your life time could be in gone. This article relates to the world because I feel that young adults still don't understand how deadly something can be and how it can happen to anyone at any moment.
