Yep. So not only did this girl have a 3:00 am curfew...she was breaking it. And her parents were probably asleep in bed, unknowing.
When I was 15, I had told my parents I'd be home from a school-sponsored thing (a fund-raising carwash) at about 4:30 in the afternoon. I got home just after 6:00 that same afternoon. Oh, did I get screamed at. At 15. For being an hour and a half late on a Saturday afternoon.
And these parents are letting their 14-year-old stay out until 3 in the morning? "Oh, but she was so mature," they'd probably say. Yeah, well, she's dead now.

You might have been yelled out for staying out late on a Saturday afternoon, but you're alive now, too. There's no guarantees about life and death, but good sense and reasonable behavior can help tip the probability of a longer and happier life your way.
