Money. Driving. Cars. These are the most important ideas that are running through the majority of teenagers’ minds. But for others, like me, these ideas never even cross our mind.

It took me some time to understand that driving shouldn’t be a major part of my life right now. I turned 16 about a month ago and all I wanted to do was drive. I would love to have a car, but the lack of income prevents me from getting a car anytime soon. My friends and I used to talk all the time about how all we wanted was a nice car to drive. I know a handful of people my age who have a really nice car, but are still not satisfied.
Some of these students tend to show off these cars, which could lead to accidents. That would just knock out their ability to drive anyway. Regardless of the money, I believe that students should not make driving – nice cars or not – a main priority. As most people know, money is a major issue right now and wasting it on a fancy car is not the way to go.
People my age should focus on saving money for more important things like college. Kids my age don’t need to be driving everywhere
until they get a job. If people want to get from one place to another, they can ride with someone else or share a car with a family member.
This may save you some time and will help the environment. This is why I have decided that driving should not be a main concern until it is necessary.
Many people will disagree with me about this but I would just say to watch where your money goes, and think about if that nice car will affect your future the way the money spent on the car would.
