Outside of what you wrote being backwards and dumb, isn't the death of any teen (really anyone under the age of 50), tragic? So she was bright, funny, well loved etc., does that make her more worthy of sympathy?

Nothing backwards and dumb about expressing sadness for a child or teen who dies. They don't get the opportunity to really experience life. (Nothing I read here indicates that the poster wouldn't feel the same for any person who dies.)

DP here. No so much "backwards" as just redundant. Saying someone's "future is ahead of them" is redundant. Of course your future is ahead of you. Where else would it be? Its like saying something is "very unique." If its unique, its one of a kind. It can't be "very unique."

Some of you posters have waaay too much time on your hands to be criticizing a kind post for redundancy. Get a life!

Look forward to the toxicology report. Likely more than just alcohol in her system after a party like that. If she wasn't DUI, she could have easily been raped by some random man in such a state.

What is your basis for calling her naive?

It was likely illegal for a 16 year old driver to be operating a vehicle after sundown. It's illegal for a reason. New drivers and night driving don't mix.

Depends if she had an intermediate or unrestricted license. Moot point in a way, since she was obviously breaking the law by drinking. You are right though, that Graduated Driving Licensing laws have the potential to save MANY young lives.

Everyone is responsible for themselves and their choices.

Why would you expect her peer to be more mature and responsible than her? They are kids.

And it looks like her peer WAS more responsible anyways- she didn't want any part of driving/being driven drunk

That’s a really great point. Have any news outlets reported it was actually illegal for her to be driving at such an hour? I don’t know California’s license laws for minors. If illegal, and since her mother admitted she communicated with her and knew she planned to drive, is the mother at risk of charges? Even in theory.

Oh, would you look at that? She drove (likely drunk) into a body of water. She wasn't abducted and trafficked into sex slavery like so many of the whackadoos here kept blathering on about.

After sundown? Where did you get this idea? My nephew just got his license and they only time restrictions are that he isn't supposed to drive from 11PM to 7AM "except for work or school." Way after sunset.

When I was 16 I stayed out until 6:00 AM some nights.

16 year olds should be able to go to parties and meet friends witihout driving. The problem in this country is you get nowehre without a car. Stupid.

It does.

As others have helpfully pointed out, this probably a school- or work-related party so everything was cool.

As long as you aren't driving, that's fine.

Sue my parents for being more restrictive than the law allows.
