Spring break can be the ultimate vacation for any college student. Babes, bikinis and beer have the tendency to produce the illusion of a four-day paradise, however, the truth is spring break can be very dangerous if students don’t take the proper precautions while indulging in this sinful week.

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Cancun, Mexico are only some of the many places that host these super parties. Thousands of students from across the globe come together to party their hardest and to let it loose. Scantily clad women and promiscuous men, supposedly, have the opportunity to “hook up” with no regrets. Binge drinking is only one of the many intoxicating activities that will be underway during the obnoxious event. Theft, assault, and sometimes murder can even occur during this popular college affair.

So if you or someone close to you is thinking about attending an outrageous spring break event this vacation than you should know the truth about the event. First off spring break is considered “the hook up of all hook ups”. Young men and women alike come down to the sandy beaches of Florida or Mexico to get it on. Sometimes the sex is protected but more than likely it is not. MTV and BET have a wonderful way of glamorizing these hook ups. Yeah they may promote safe sex sometimes, but the best option for these channels would be not to promote it at all. Drunken college students are not thinking about condoms in the heat of the moment, they are thinking about how they can get some and from who. MTV and BET’s media feed off of young peoples desire as a way to increase their profits during the events. They have crazy games where people are taking there clothing off or eating deserts off of a stranger’s body for prizes. They don’t realize how many people will come out of spring break pregnant or with a sexually transmitted disease while they are promoting super sex.
