The area I grow up in was "varied", the high school even more so. We had seven local school districts pouring into one high school with about a thousand kids. Of the districts was from the richest township in the state, while others were from the bottom of the barrel. It was interesting. Most of us had cars in high school, although I don't remember anyone having a brand new BMW or Mercedes. Then again, when I was in high school, BMW and Mercedes wasn't really on our radar - only a doctor would drive such a car.
We had one death in our high school. In fact, she was the first girl I ever danced with at a high school dance. Her car went off a cliff not too far from my house. It was a dangerous stretch of road really.
Then again, I came from a pretty boring area of New Jersey.
As for the chick Mutt is talking about, she clearly wanted to think she was living dangerously but never could follow through on doing anything. She takes some sexy photos for Facebook, lists herself on MM, and then calls herself a model.
As for her friends, well, they want to live dangerously too. Mommy and daddy supply them with cars and pay their rent while they go to college, which really means all they do is drink and do drugs.
Sad really.
