Most teens believe they are invincible

I've observed that myself.

I'm very sad for the young woman's family and friends. It's a terrible loss, even though it was apparently preventable. A lot of deaths are like that ...

“I’ve observed that myself.”

We’ve observed it alot with our oldest this week.

She insists her latest troubles with her car are not her fault but with the car.

The car has been checked and rechecked.

We have had difficulty explaining to her that the problem is most likely with the DRIVER.
As in...on mornings where conditions are good for black ice, one must drive SLOWER.

We’re still working on her.
We’re hoping that making her responsible for damages and increase in insurance premium will make the lesson painful enough it will sink into the cranium better.
