Video "Texting while Driving"

I watched "Texting while Driving Documentary. The Last Text." It was about teenagers who text while driving and don't think of the dangers of it. A simple text such as "yeah" or "Where r" can take away someone's life. The video was sponsored by AT&T to remind teens or anyone who likes to be texting and driving to stop, it can wait for later; especially for those who are "comfortable" doing so. The video showed three teens of whom experienced or knew someone who had an accident. The first story was about a girl, named Ashley, who passed away after sending her last text to her sister. Her sister now feels guilt and wishes she could tell Ashley sorry. She passed away a day before her graduation. The second story was about another teen named Mariah. At age 19 she passed away while texting and driving as well. Many people loved her especially her mother who misses Mariah. They miss her a lot that they even decide to celebrate her 19th year birthday to remember her. The third story is about a young guy who experienced an accident while texting and driving. He got hurt and was sent to the hospital. Now he can not do simple things like walk or even button his own shirt because of that text message. At the end of the video I came to realize that texting and driving is not worth it. It is always better to wait because death can happen, a loved one or family members may be emotionally hurt, and guilt for the person who texted the driver can be experienced. The video was made to make us emotionally react to it by showing us pictures of real life experience, and family reactions to the accident. Pictures of the destroyed car after the accident is another way to make us realize that this could be us, and no one knows if we will make it alive or not.
