Teen dies in motorcycle crash



SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD John Tan Yong Sheng died in hospital yesterday morning after his collided with a taxi on Sunday afternoon.His female pillion rider remains in hospital with head injuries.

I think this article has really shake the way i think about motorcycles because i was a person who love motorcycles and even dreamt of riding it when i am older.But after reading this article, I know how dangerous riding a motorcycle is and that one mistake could be fatal.However,I don't feel sorry for the teen who died because he was a rebellious soul and went against his parents..He was always advised by his parents about how dangerous riding a motorcycle is..But he turned on a deaf ear..This shows that actions do have consequences and that you would need you parents permission and in order to do something on your own.
Even through the teen has really died and did something that were against his parents,deep down his parents still truly love him as he was their only son and only hope..
I feel that a parent's blessings is the most important because even if you are a safe rider,you can still meet with an accident if you are not blessed by your parents.
