Finding out people you went to school with have died...
This is quite sad. A few months ago I found out a guy the year below me in both primary and secondary school had died (I think he died a year or so ago so he'd have been about 23 at the time). He wasn't someone I knew all that well but obviously it was a bit of a shock.
Anyway I've just found out tthat his younger brother (who would have been about 3 years below me) died over the weekend. I don't know the circumstances or anything but how horrible must that be for their parents?
:(
Poor
fucker. That could potentially ruin his life.
I found out my English teacher popped his clogs not long ago
*pooped
Jesus. :(
What were the circumstances, were they all in an accident or something?
...
"Paul Hawkins" has run its course. Go down to deed poll: "Ray O' Sunshine".
two lads from school have kicked the bucket
one dropped dead whilst playing football - he went to my primary school as well as secondary so that was especially weird. We were never close mates or anything but got on well enough.
The other threw himself in front of a train a few months back, apparently. To be honest he always acted like a bit of a cunt towards me but I wouldn't have wished that on him, obviously.
I'm 35
and not in touch with many from school, yet I know of three people at least who are already gone...
A couple have died who I knew (although not that well)
Sadly, statisticly that is probably about right.
One from cancer and one in a housefire. Both desperately sad.
I was at school with Chris Evans
Go on....
....what was he really, etc etc?
I've known of about
4 or 5 who've died. Sadly, two were mates at one time or another.
Suicide has been sadly very popular.
a guy in the year below me at school
was in a car accident and is almost completely paralysed. he tried to bite off his feeding tube so that he's choke on it and die.
End of thread.
That is really fucking sad.
does it help that he was a bit of a dick
when i knew him?
probably not
Ha,
not really.
:O
a friend in my history class
got diagnosed with cancer half way through year 13, she took her exams and then died in july. she got A's in all of the modules too... pretty incredible.
she died in that july (2005?), btw. not last july.
my first boyfriend
died of leukemia, having just turned 22. we went out for 4 years, and he was one of my best friends. i miss him every day.
thanks
:)
last year
Someone in my sisters' year went on holiday after exams and got electrocuted by a live wire that had come loose on a street light. He got straight A's in his A levels as well - had been offered place at Oxford.
When I was in year 11 someone in our year died of cancer and they refused to cancel the school photo even though it clashed with the funeral so there's less than half the year in our photo.

friend of a friend who i met at truck last year fell off a cliff recently. not cool
my friend's friend
died in a car crash recently on his way back home after getting his A level results. I know it's not the same but this thread reminded me of this.

Halfway through my first year of uni
Two people, a guy and a girl, were driving back to Lougborough Uni from seeing a Man United game. Had a head-on collision with a lorry on the motorway and pronounced dead at the scene.
Now, I was properly shocked - they were the first people I've ever know personally to die who weren't over the age of 50. But I wasn't sad, and a few of my friends who knew them better were upset with me for not wanting to come to the rememberance service.
I didn't know the girl at all, I barely knew the guy, and he was a massive twat in school as well. Suddenly he was a saint. Sure I was shocked at his death, and would never wish it to happen or had happened, but it's a bit much to say I should go to that when I probably wouldn't go to my postman's funeral when I know him just as well.
Oh, and there was a Facebook group. People left it after a couple of months, which confirmed my original suspicions that it wasn't a really sincere gesture.
