Myth: All Teenagers Love Driving

     Sure the idea of driving is appealing, you'd have to be insane not to want the sense of control and freedom, but it's also the scariest thing you could ever do.  Not only does the country we live in let us control a fully automotive vehicle when we're a mere 16 years old (15 in some states), they also expect us to abide by the rules and not let the newly found power get to our heads: impossible.  The truth of the matter is that driving is scary.  So many bad things happen while in a car, and to be able to kill some one with one simple mistake, the pressure is crippling.  Now don't get me wrong, I want my license ASAP and I intend on getting my own car as soon as I have the money.  even with all my friends hounding me and my parents being close to unbearable nowadays, I can't shake the fear.  In my lifetime I've known three people that have died, one by cancer and the other two by cars.  no matter the reason, no matter how safe you are as a driver, every time you get onto that road (whether it's day or night, weekday or weekend) you risk your life.  I guess ultimately I have to suck it up because in this century, not only are you a total loser if you have the chance to get your license and opt-out, you need a car to get around, ESPECIALLY if you're a teen.  Life is rough...I need a helmet (or I guess "seat belt" would be a cheesier word to use).
