A world of intoxification
Screams pierced the midnight air and students ran wildly about the campus. Police cars whizzed by with their sirens blaring in the night. Glass was being broken and girls were being defiled. Confusion was all around and no one could stop it. This is an average night at any given university in America. The similarities between a horror story and a story about a college party are too many. At an average college party where alcohol is being served there is the possibility of fights, rape, death, destruction, and jail time. The common opinion in America is that all of these things are bad. So why do college students continue to engage in these activities? There are three reasons. First, if students have not been exposed to alcohol or drugs previously, when they get into that kind of environment, they will experiment. Secondly, if everyone else who is important, i.e. fraternities and sororities, does it, then to be important, you must drink. Finally, without parent instilling morals and good judgment into their children, the students do not think that it is wrong to participate in these activities. All in all,
the biggest problem on college campuses is the consumption of alcohol and drugs. The only way that this kind of behavior on college campuses can be stopped is to entice individualism more in the younger generation. There is no way that we can continue to send our children out to college campuses with ideas that they should, "do what everyone else does", and "if you don't know what to do, just follow everyone else". We must teach our children not to listen to anyone but themselves. The parents must instill morals and values in our children so when they listen to themselves, they realize what is best for them and continue with that action. How many college students do you see purposely putting their hand on a stove, or burning themselves in any way on purpose? The only ones I see doing that are the ones that are drunk. Parents are the most important part of a person's life. You are with your parents for at least 18 years of your life and you talk to them for the rest of their lives. It is the parents' responsibility to tell their children the horrors of fire. The parents tell their children not to touch the stove because it will burn them. Why do these same parents neglect to tell their children the horrors of the cause of over 90% of college crimes? Why do they neglect to tell their children that alcohol rips families and people apart? Why do the same parents that pull their children from the road and tell them to look both ways, and then toss them to the college wolves with no knowledge of alcohol? These parents
