I dont' know of any 17 year old who makes the right decision every time all the time. And unfortunately this particuar teen made a bad decision that cost him his life and for that I feel sorry and compassion for his family and friends. I will send out prayers for all those involved because as humans we are superior to the animals in the wild.
I agree. I did so many brainless, idiotic and downright dangerous things as a teen that I look back and cringe (and I was your average "good kid"). It was certainly a dumb thing for him to do, but the consequences probab;y never occurred to him. To him, the do not enter signs were probably taken as more of a "you arent allowed here" warning than a "you can be killed" one. It's very sad..
