Why have a Senior All-Nighter?
Teen Deaths at Graduation
High school graduation ceremonies are supposed to celebrate new beginnings - a time when young lives filled with potential enter the adult world. Unfortunately, some graduates never make it past the first night.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports about 2,500 teenage drivers are involved in fatal crashes each year. Auto accidents remain the leading cause of death among teenagers. Graduation night has the highest death toll of the year for teenagers, because alcohol-related traffic accidents remain the No. 1 killer of America's teens. The evening of graduation is the crown jewel of all party nights. With annual events like proms and graduation parties, the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day has been labeled “The 100 Deadliest Days” for teen drivers. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other drivers.
