Any parent who would even consider allowing their 16 year-old to do this is bonkers. This is a case of parents wanting their kids to think they're "cool", instead of being parents, which is about more than being liked.

I can easily see why a kid would want to do this. That's precisely why kids need parents, and the parents are supposed to be wiser than the kids. Not in this case.

This really, really frosts me. They are unimaginable morons. They'll probably react by saying "it's great she got to die doing what she loved", or some other such nonsense.
