Why do people do stupid things? Some people try to walk across freeways. They get run over. Some people stand on the edge 1 of cliffs 2. They slip 3 and fall to their death. Some people think a gun is not loaded. They point the gun at a friend. They pull the trigger 4. They kill their friend. Some people want to watch a storm up close. They go to the ocean. They feel the wind. They see the big waves. They are excited. Then a big wave takes them out to sea. They drown. Many people drop out of school. They say that school is boring. They want to have fun. School is not fun. They hate homework. They get a job at McDonald’s. All day long they ask the customers, “Do you want fries with that?” Is that fun? No, but it is stupid. Some people cheat on their wives or husbands. They get caught. Their marriage ends. They are alone. Many people smoke cigarettes. They get cancer. Many people drink and drive. Drinking and driving is against the law. It’s dangerous. It’s stupid. But people do it every day.
