If I were this kid I wouldn't be tweeting anything about anything right now.

When he tweets "see you again soon", what is he saying?

That caught my eye too.
I think it's clear, sadly.

With all this discussion, some posters seem to forget that these are real people with real feelings and real losses.

. Agreed. This is an 18 year old, barely an adult. Talking about safety protect our
Kids is one thing. Posting links to the young guys twitter seems witch-hunting to me.

Very prevalent in that larger group of friends, yes.

How have these kids gotten by without hitting the headlines until now? No detention center lock-ups?

Not the kids in the car, but I know of one juvenile arrest, one overdose, and multiple police interactions among wootton students. In the past school year.

Hope you are being sarcastic. Drinking and partying is not out of the norm for high school seniors. Not all do it, but it is not uncommon. Kids tweet about this stuff at almost all of the high schools. And even more teens are doing it and not tweeting about it.

I think about this all the time. My group of close girlfriends and I were the sort of "middle" kids. Some of us played varsity sports but we were also kind of the middle ground-nerd-good kids who just kind of hung out at each other's houses or went for ice cream or to dinner at the local pizza places and stuff together instead of partying because none of our parents would have let us just "go out". Even WE started drinking a little bit at smaller parties and gatherings of friends (and some nights a lot) around April or May of senior year sort of mixed in with our regular hangout activities.

The "good" kids, with the early curfews, who were all still virgins and barely dated and no where near the kind of fearlessness to do anything all that crazy at all. Its everywhere.

+100 The smug and judgmental attitudes about these kids (who presumably the majority of posters don't even know) are revolting and inappropriate.
