A sophomore student at San Lorenzo High School in San Lorenzo, Calif Teen Dies Playing Chicken with two friends.

Austice Price, was playing chicken game with his two friends at 6pm Thursday.  Price was struck by a train and killed.  Teen Dies Playing Chicken failed to leap out of the path and hit by the oncoming train.

Playing chicken game is played how long you could stay on the tracks while waiting for the train. And that’s what happened to the young boy. He was out of the time and stayed too long.

The chicken game was very popular to the students of San Lorenzo High School. They play it all the time on the train tracks area. There are warning signs and a fence for the student to keep off the tracks. But the many students tend to ignore the warnings.

According to Price’s classmates, Austice Price was a good boy. He liked to make people laugh. He is always late at school just because he always picked up his classmate. He was late at class to pick up his friend’s home to walk with her to school.

Price is easy go lucky person. He dressed as if he didn’t care what people thought of him. He always shaking out the shoulder-length hair he had been growing out since last year.

My Opinion

Its true life is precious so don’t waste your life and don’t take it for granted. Live life to the fullest. The life of the boy is tragic. He’s so young to his death.

Just because of the chicken game the boy’s life was taken away, Teen Dies Playing Chicken. So this is a lesson learn for the teenagers out there not only for them but to all people.

Life is short so don’t waste your time doing things not important.

Just like what happened to the young boy. They always play chicken game knowing it was dangerous and ignore the sign board. So see, what happened the Teen Dies Playing Chicken. It’s so sad. I felt sad for his families. You know he’s very young. He has nice future if he still alive. He is a good boy

For those young girls and boys, if you know the area is dangerous don’t be hard-headed especially there are signs. Pay attention to the signs and don’t ignore it. Playing game is good and fun but sometimes you should play it on safe area.

It is fun if you do not follow the instruction. But it will always have a bad effect.  If you will not take life seriously you will regret it for the rest of your life.

For those mothers out there, don’t forget to always remind your daughter/son to be careful.

For school, thought the student is hard-headed always keep track of them. They are playful around and just enjoying the life so it’s a good idea if the school is safe.
