Teenage Deaths

[Billfred]

let's see...

At Irmo, over the four years I was there, we lost (thinks) four students my sophomore year and the summer after, one student who I believe was in DJJ or some similar facility (but would've been at Irmo), and one special ed student my senior year.

Yeah. Not fun.

No deaths have happened at our school since I arrived there thankfully. However, before prom last year we did this proble called "Every 15 Minutes." The program was about people who die while driving drunk, and evidently every 15 minutes someone dies while doing so. It was kind of morbid, but they got the point across, because every 15 minutes they removed a student from class and transformed them into a "ghost."

I think we lost about ten students due to two drunk driving accidents last year. A close friend of mine was seriously hurt when he got sideswiped by an expedition, but thankfully he's okay now. Sadly, car accidents and inherint deaths are not too much of a rarity at my school. There have also been quite a few close calls with guns, but thankfully no one's gone off, although I have heard from a teacher that there are at least 2-3 guns confiscated each month off of students.

A girl from my graduating class last year died in a jet ski accident about a month after graduation.
