Teenage Deaths

I went to a small private school in Ft. Lauderdale, we didnt loose any students but my sophmore year we lost the dean of boys right before graduation in a horrific car crash. It was hard for alot of us cause he was so close to us, especially me cause iw as in trouble alot. In fact that day i was in his office and he let me off easy on something i should of been suspended for, i was one of the last students he interacted with that day and for the rest of his life. He died later that afternoon it was horrible at school no one could teach and everyone was just in a daze.

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).

And in 6 kids in my class died in 7th and 8th grade - 2 of lukemia, 1 in a freak boating accident, and 3 in car crashes (1 was a drunk driving incident)
