text: To sum it up, we would be better if phones weren't allowed in the car at all. You can be killed or can kill someone if you are distracted driving. We are always distracted by our phones so when we are driving, we are tempted to get on it and do stuff. When we do, we have consequences to our actions and sometimes we must pay for what we do. We need to take responsibility and own up for our actions. We need to stop taking things like this lightly. I hope I encouraged you to not do this and put the cell phones down.   "Will you go to prom with me!" Generic_Name popped the question. "Let me think about it," Generic_Name blurted out the words and ran away. Later that evening Generic_Name called her best friend Generic_Name. Generic_Name belted out, "Guess what, Generic_Name asked me to go to prom with him!" Generic_Name's smile dropped down to a frown. Generic_Name paused for a few seconds and then replied,"Generic_Name, you know I've liked Generic_Name for three years, besides he only asked you because he was dared to." Generic_Name's excited expression faded, "I guess you're right, I'll decline his offer." Later that month Generic_Name was getting ready to go to prom solo when she heard a knock on the door. She stared out the window, what she saw was truly unexpected. Generic_Name was standing on her front porch in sweatpants and a sweatshirt, it looked as if the homecoming king was not attending the most important dance of the year. Generic_Name slowly open the door; she was waiting on Generic_Name to say something. "Why did you say no?"Generic_Name threw up his words as if they had a bitter taste. Generic_Name only said what she could, the truth, "Generic_Name said you had just asked me because of a dare." Generic_Name cried out,"Don't listen to Generic_Name, I had been waiting for months to take you to prom and you declined only because you asked for advice from someone who is terribly biased." Generic_Name felt like she was to blame,"I'm so sorry, I should've asked advice from someone else." This story may have been fictional, but terrible misunderstandings can happen to anyone if you don't ask for advice from different people. Seeking opinions from many different people is important for decision making because you need to see a problem from different points of view to make the most sensible conclusion and if you ask one biased person they may lead you to the wrong choice for you.
