At my school we've lost one student that I know of in the past few years. About 4 years ago a student who excelled in nearly everything, and who was always looked upon as the "perfect" role-model got in minor trouble one day (I forget what the reason was). But he was taken out've class I believe, and he ran off and tried getting away from the school to stay out've trouble. He took a shortcut and ran across the interstate and on the final lane got run over by a semi. It hit our little town very hard. Especially since I am close to that family (which still hasn't recovered).
