    A junior in HS(at my school) and his buddy decided to skip school Monday morning and do some mudding. Well they got into an accident and his friend walked away 100% fine. But the driver, who is 16 or 17, is currently paralyzed from the waist down and is communicating by blinking. He is at UAB hospital in downtown Birmingham(AL). Thankfully he is at one of the best hospitals in the nation. But, his family is taking the accident really hard. I barely know the guy but its awful what happened. :pray:

    Sorry to hear about your classmate. I would skip school all the time when in High School, but I never thought about the consequences being a teenager. Not that we should live our lives in fear of what might happen, but it only takes the wrong decision once to change our lives.

    I found out that he is paralized from the neck down and the doctors can't do anything to fix that. The next step for him is learning to speak. So awful
