Scare Tactics: 7 Reasons to Leave a Party

This past Monday (9/13/10) our school had an assembly on seven reasons to leave a party. Pretty much it was a giant scare tactic for the Seniors and Sophomores of Deerfield High School. The seven reasons were the worst case scenarios. They included: No money, no time, death, no privacy, no trust, Criminal record, and no Car. All though very possible the examples they used would only happen if everything possible goes wrong. I am not promoting hardcore partying because that could be dangerous. But the assembly was disorganized and horribly presented. It was forty minutes of two judges rambling about two or three horrible incidents. The worst of all is that there was no debriefing just, "Oh, we're out of time, go to fourth period." They left us with an image of a girl who was hit by a drunk driver. Even in homeroom today we had no time to discuss what went on and how to handle it because we were hit with announcement after announcement about irrelevant issues.
Overall the assembly was poorly handled.
