I grieve for the victims and their families. I truly hope that their school friends will take the needed lessons to heart from this tragedy! That being said, let us remind ourselves of WHY such tragedies are visited upon youths and young adults like these.
This derives from a failure of prudence when prudence is not bolstered by experience and guidance. At that age, it is obvious and expected that there cannot be sufficient experience so there must be teaching and rules and repetition because youth resists and resents that which they have not experienced. In this case the guidance failed and these young lives were lost for it.
God Bless!
People have known about the risks to life and limb and others when “under the influence” forever. I wonder how many home fall fatalities are due to victim being high or drunk.
Media driven propaganda makes drug taking harmless..(God forbid you eat gluten) . Ignorant people die cause they think psychotropics are safe...

Excellent comment. This country is suffering from a gigantic lack of prudent thought which has its basis in lack of critical thinking.
