GAME OVER Brittany W. (1r BATX B)

Game Over

On Wednesday afternoon a man from Institut Guttman came to give us a speech on road traffic accidents and being under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

We watched a video which clearing illustrated how car accidents can happen. It was a truly eye open experience. As the speech was in Catalan I did not know exactly what it was about but just from the passion in which this man spoke with and that he was in wheelchair I could get a sense that he had been in some kind of traffic accident.

Road traffic accidents happen frequently and hear about the on the news that  we have almost become immune to them. These days people do not value one person’s life if they are not related to them as they do not know about  the traumatic experience  that the family affected is going through.

I believe that because of peer pressure and how kids today abuse alcohol and other dangerous substance  this has also caused a spike in road traffic accidents.

People don’t realise what can happen until it has taken place as they almost feel immortal after having a few drinks .


This is why I think schools should continue informing students of the risks involved with taking alcohol, drugs and drink driving using shocking and eye opening approaches such as the one my fellow students and I experienced this week.
