I know exactly how Pat feel. I was in the same position when I was younger in my small town in NC. I had to leave. There was nothing for me there. And I have never regretted leaving. It was the best thing for me. Even today when I go to NC to visit family, I limit my time to 3 days max because it's too depressing.

[@billt3357]

Great videos that says a great deal about the choices we make and the results in the quality of life. My concern is how the movie portrayed the whole DUI as a that is a good thing to do... this is what best buddies do. Nope! Best buddies do not let best buddies drive while under the influence of drugs/alcohol.

This was not a morality play. The writers and directors filmed it. It is not a PSA
