Spring break, where the young have fun; lying underneath the summer sun, partying through the long hours of the night, disappearing without a trace. The dangers of spring break are harder to detect than one may realize. They are disguised beneath the laughs and alcohol that peruse the many beaches of popular spring break destinations. In an on-campus presentation about about health, safety and awareness during spring break, I was able to learn about the hidden dangers of spring break. Everyone is aware of the alcohol and drug abuse, yet people turn a blind eye to the mysterious deaths and disappearances that occur. In the month of March 2012, 30 died due to various causes of spring break. These dangers include kidnaping, drownings, and overdose. In order to protect oneself, one must take precaution and research the hotels and surrounding areas before they travel. One must also always stick to the buddy system and be aware of the people around one.
