Sneaking Out...

Okay kiddos it's been a while again since I posted, but I'm bored and YMCA Camp begins tomorrow so I can't go out late. Tonight's topic is going to be on, sneaking out:

So, every teenager wants their freedom and the ability to do whatever they want when they want. I wanted to as well when I was in middle school and high school and I must admit I did my fair share of sneaking out. But I just want to say it isn't the best idea, there is a curfew for teenagers for a reason. I for one have two stories that were rather bad from times when I snuck out with friends.

First one was couple friends and I in middle school I believe snuck out sometime after midnight to go ding dong ditching (we were out in Unionville) and after a few successful ding dong ditches we came to a house and rang the doorbell and it just so happened some drunken idiot was pulling into that driveway in his truck and saw us running away. He got out of his truck yelled at us and grabbed his gun out of the back of his pickup and also threatened to call the police. Yeah, that wasn't fun...

Second story was when I was a junior in high school I snuck out at 2am or so to go for a late night run and when I was on my way home near the woods by Jackson Creek I was followed all the way home by a creepy ass truck that was obviously keeping pace with me. I saw it pass my house slowly multiple times after I had gotten home too. That wasn't fun either...

My main point here is, the darkness of night can be dangerous and people need to be careful especially girls. We really don't need another missing person like how Lauren Spierer just went missing a week ago. She was out walking at 4am alone, really not smart on her part or her friends that let her leave. There are lots of strange and really creepy people in the world who will act on impulse if provided the situation to do so. I know I sound like a hypocrite since I used to sneak out and I know tons and tons of kids do and will, but just think about it first and be careful.
