A sophomore at my school died about 3 months ago in a car accident. She was 14, didn't have a learner's permit, and decided to go out driving. Unfortunatly she lost control and ran into a tree, and wasnt wearing her seatbelt. At the end of the last school year, a friend of mine was invovled in a pretty bad accident but luckily nobody involved was killed. The only other time that a death occured from a school I went to was when I was in 7th grade a schoolmate of mine's older brother died of an overdose. It is very frieghtining to know that someone your age died. Luckily it hasn't be someone that I'm close with.
