I’m angrier than a pig out of mud, because I had to wait until this morning to write this post. You see, this article is important because it involves a teenager who apparently wasn’t looking where she was going. She paid dearly for that lapse in judgement.
I bring before you one Kendra Ahrens, 14, who died last week as she was riding her bicycle home from work. Somehow or another, she ran afoul of a USPS truck. It’s officially unclear who was it fault, but in my opinion, this will turn out be yet another case of a punk teenager not looking where she’s going.
Indeed, I don’t feel sorry for Ahrens. The way things look, she wasn’t paying attention to where she was going. Thank goodness that she was operating a bicycle and not a car. Had she been driving the latter, she probably would have killed someone.
No, there is no sympathy for her. Too many teenagers think they’re somehow exempt from consequences. We see it all the time in news stories, don’t we? So it is here, in my opinion.
What’s so difficult about this? Why can’t teenagers understand one simple thing: watch where you’re going! Had Ahrens been doing that, she wouldn’t be in a funeral home right now, waiting to be buried.
