Abstract
When I was in high school we had a program called ‘Every 7 Minutes.’ Every 7 minutes a class mate would be asked to leave campus for the day. It was to signify that every 7 minutes a person dies as a result of drunk driving. A car was brought in that was totaled as a result of drunk driving. Towards the end of school the campus was desolate. It was as if the campus turned into an old west town at high noon. Schools seem to be very comfortable discussing the dangers of drunk driving but what about those that don’t drink? What about the ones that still drives under the influence of prescription drugs, heroin, Methamphetamine? Are schools ready to finally admit that this, too, is a big problem with students?
