The Peer Helpers warned people not to text and drive recently. On December 8^th, the Peer Helpers at Bob Jones gave the first 50 students that made the pledge free donuts! Until December 12^th, the Peer Helpers will be taking pledges in the lunchroom. Bridget Drummond is the primary teacher in this event. Statistics were gathered on the subject, and these were the results:

1. People who text and drive multiply their chances of crashing by 23%.
2. 13% of all crashes involving teenagers include texting and driving
3. 77% of teenagers are fine with texting and driving.
4. When teenagers text and drive 10% of the time they are out of their lane.
5. 5% of teens have watched their parents text/drive.

Many car accidents are caused by adults and/or teenagers texting and driving.

The Donut Text was made to help prevent that and keep people safe on the road.  A Peer Helper said that the purpose for this is “to help raise awareness of texting and driving to our community and how to prevent it.”
