Lancer Link: “What do you like to do with friends and family?”
CB: “I like to go to the movies, shop and go to the pool or beach with my friends. With my family, I like to do things outdoors like go to the Carlsbad Lagoon, ride bikes, hike or have family dinners.”
SN: “My friends and I do a lot of different random things together. We usually hang out at someone’s house or go hiking or something. My family and I all really like crime shows, so we watch those a lot together. Right now we are on the series, 24.”
AS: “When I’m with my friends, we usually go to Boomers or do something else that’s fun like going to the beach. Every Wednesday, my family and I have a big family dinner.”
LL: “What is your opinion of drinking and driving?”
CB: “I am very against drinking and driving. I think it is horrible that innocent people are killed by these reckless drivers every day.”
SN: “I think drinking and driving is really irresponsible. You are not only endangering your life, but also the lives of other innocent drivers and passengers.”
AS: “I think drinking and driving is pretty idiotic. I don’t approve of drinking in general, but I hope the people who do drink would at least be safe and find a designated driver to take them home.”
LL: “How do you feel when you see friends or peers drink?”
CB: “When my friends drink, I worry about them and try to persuade them not to drink or to be careful because I don’t want to see my friends get hurt in any way. Either way, in the end, it is their choice.”
SN: “It worries me, especially when my closer friends drink. I always want to make sure they are safe. When it comes down to it, everyone is accountable for his/her choices. I just hope all of my peers are responsible.”
AS: “I get really disappointed when I see friends drinking because I feel they are only drinking so they can fit in with a certain group. I think it is easy to have fun without being drunk.”
