<p>of natural causes. Whoa, that's a reality check. We vaguely knew each other, had some classes together, etc...</p>
<p>And I've been letting myself be miserable the past few days after getting my wisdom teeth out because I can't eat normal food. I think that I'm going to man up a little bit and realize how lucky I am, holy freaking crap.</p>
<p>Just shows how it can all be taken away. Nothing is guaranteed. Just got to live life</p>
<p>^ Yeah life goes by pretty fast :(</p>
<p>Definitely. This life’s just a passing thing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lulz, no it’s not. It’s the longest thing you do. Make the most of it, don’t treat it as a means to an end.</p>
<p>Oh my, I wish nothing but the best for the parents.</p>
<p>In the past month we’ve had 2 deaths of kids who presently go to my school and two recent alumni deaths. It’s safe to say, it’s been a really hard end of the school year</p>
<p>That’s terrible. I know the feeling. A few years back, 6 kids in my school died in one year (not at the same time). I wasn’t friends with any of them, but I knew two. It was very tragic.</p>
<p>In the 2010-11 year, we had a wonderful teacher die in a car accident, an excellent athlete in my grade die in a car accident due to a misjudgment of his dentist who put him on meds, and two suicides by a sophomore and a senior. Then our beloved principal got taken away from us in an extreme time of need because the public thought he caused all the suicides. </p>
<p>My entire school was depressed for months.</p>
<p>I had a kid who died when I was in 8th grade. We had music and English together and it was really tragic. I always think about him and I know we would have been friends if he had lived. I think that may be why I tend to be optimistic. I don’t want to die while someone is upset with me, or hear someone complaining about very insignificant things. God, just writing this made me really bummed.</p>
<p>We had a car accident including 5 kids from our school and our joint boys’ school, one died and another is recently out of a coma. It is horrible, but it really stops people feeling invincible and hopefully taught everyone a bit of a lesson, even if it had to be learnt the hard way.</p>
<p>@leah eh. that was just my opinion :)</p>
<p>A boy my age who was my next door neighbor committed suicide when I was a freshman in high school. It shook me badly because he was one of those kids who didn’t have many friends, and he would sometimes ask me to hang out and I would always say no. Four years later, it still haunts me at times… I know that i could have treated him better and possibly kept him from doing what he did. It is something that I will have to live with for my whole life, and something that I will always regret. That is life for you. People die all the time, and it’s just something that you have to live with… because when you stop living with it, you will be dead yourself.</p>
<p>A recent graduate of my high school committed suicide because of a certain malicious act by someone at his college. It was a national new story…
So so so sad. Before that, a rising senior who was very well liked and very smart and very athletic and just an all around nice girl committed suicide after her mom, two uncles and two grandparents passed away.</p>
<p>@dogbreath: You have no fault in this. What are you supposed to do? Hang out with anyone who asks you to, whether or not you’re friends with them, in the off chance that they happen to have a predilection for suicide?</p>
<p>or in the off chance that they happen to be someone you want to be friends with :). maybe dogbreath knew him enough to know he wouldn’t want to be friends with him though.</p>
