The covered "body" of the victim of a mock traffic accident lies in full view of Parker High School students on Monday. The accident was staged in an effort to convince the students to remain sober and safe in the upcoming prom season. » Order a reprint of this photo

Look at them kids sitting there smiling then think this is all a game and one of them will most likley be the one that kill someone this prom night. I know way to many people that have been killed in car accidents from drinking or driveing come on kids think about it before you drink. I have a sister that will be going to prom on saturday night and i just had this talk with her not the frist time either but i told her if she get drinking call me or my husband for a ride and we will come get her and not even yell at her i would rather get her drunk from a party then have to go say yes that my sister and put her 6 feet under so PLEAS GUYS CALL YOU PARENTS TO COME GET YOU IF YOU GET DRINKING then dont want to have to put you 6 feet under think before you drink.

It makes me sick to see some of these students smiling in this picture. I graduated less than 5 years ago and have had friends killed in accidents that involved alcohol and in fact went to school with the speaker. I really hope these students don't take the presentation lightly. This is a serious issue and could in fact save their own life.
