Has anyone in your school ever died?

[Pulp501]

For me, although I'm not friends with this guy, I know him and he's a real nice guy. He has cancer, and will probably die soon. No one else has died in my school, although someone died a year before I got to the school. Has anyone from your school died? Or another kid that you knew somehow? What was your relationship with them? I've had two online friends that have died too. How did the school react?

[Elysium]

A girl died at my elementary school, I think probably before I attended it. She was hit by a car riding her bike.

Oh, and if we're including teachers, one of the teachers at my elementary school fell and hit her head on concrete. She died a few days later.

[Stronk Serb]

A 2 years older guy commited suicide near the school a year ago. I was 8th grade while he was attending highschool. Was a nice guy.

[ksdnfkfr]

One kid at my last school from some kind of brain hemorrhage, and a girl this year in a traffic accident.

[conniption]

A guy at my school that was two years older than me died in a car crash. Then, two years ago, a kid in one of my classes died of lung cancer. I didn't really know any of them, but it was still sad that they died so young.

[Karkat]

One of the kids I used to go to school with died August last year. I worked with him as well- he was the son of one of the department managers. He was a nice kid.

[Living For Love]

In my primary school, a boy died while playing soccer. He was only five years old, I think he had a heart attack or something. I didn't know him very well, but we were too young to know what death was anyway.

In my middle school, one of my teachers committed suicide, due to some family problems, involving a divorce, from what I know. She died only some weeks after school had begun, so we didn't know her very well too. Some days after, a girl (that I didn't know at all) also committed suicide, apparently from the pressure her parents were putting on her to get good grades.

[Harley Quinn]

One of the girls in the year above, or something around that, jumped off a bridge and got hit by a train. There's been a few suicides at my school, most of them I was unaware of, but this girl hit the school hard.

[Gamma Male]

I remember my big sister telling me about a guy at her highschool who shot himself a couple of years ago. I think he might've been gay.

[Seemyheart]

Few years ago, 2 seniors died... it was hard on everyone, one of them was the class president and he was loved by everyone, nicest guy you'll ever meet... they were working on a farm and a raccoon got in one of the pipes they were lifting and they put it vertically to try and get it out...they didn't see that one of those wires from telephone poles were there, so the pole hit it and they got electrocuted.

[Bmble_B]

sadly yes... a girl in my school died during open-heart surgery. Ive never talken to her, but to this day I feel a heavy load of grief for her. She was so young, and she was taken so early. From what I hear from others she was a very nice girl, now she's gone.

[Meganium]

No students I've known have died; however, a kid was known to have crossed the street from the dorm side to the school side and got hit by a truck. Thus, a tunnel was built underneath the highway linking the two sides to prevent that from happening again.

As far as teachers, The Director of Academic at my school passed of a heart attack several after retiring immediately before the school year began, and the college counselor, who was also my personal advisor, died due to complications with pancreatic cancer about two months into the school year.

[Jevon]

My sisters junior year I believe committed suicide I was still in middle school

[tundravortex]

in my school a kid got shot(outside of school),another one killed himself,one over dosed,one drank himself to death,one got hit by a car,one did something dumb and landed on that pointy fence,and the last one died in a fight.....over a pair of shoes WTF

[Karkat]

in my school a kid got shot(outside of school),another one killed himself,one over dosed,one drank himself to death,one got hit by a car,one did something dumb and landed on that pointy fence,and the last one died in a fight.....over a pair of shoes WTF

That's intense, holy shit.

[PinkFloyd]

When I was in sixth grade, someone in my grade committed suicide.

[unknownuser]

Yes, two of the people from my year I personally knew, but wasn't really close to them.

[Melodic]

A brother of a guy I knew in Elementary died drowning in a lake.

[Tatii99]

I think a guy died a few years ago. Don't remember the details though :/

[Dalcourt]

A couple of kids from my school died, one in a car accident on his way to school, one girl from a head injury after she fell down the stairs at home. Another guy overdosed on drugs. I knew them all but wasn't really close.

Oh, and two others committed suicide, when they were older and had left school already.

[Plasma]

I sat next to a girl in my biology class who I made quite good friends with. She was a really good girl. When I came back from winter break, I heard that her and her boyfriend died in a car accident while they were gone. It was such a horrible feeling.

[Plane And Simple]

Thankfully not. There have been a few close calls where ambulances have had to rush here though.

[DiamondsGirl]

A junior high school student passed on due to brain illness of some sort when I was in elementary school. I didn't know her though.

As for teachers; my homeroom teacher passed on due to cancer when I was in 3rd grade. She's an amazing person. A chemistry teacher in my current school passed on just a month ago or so, also due to cancer. I didn't get the pleasure to know her unfortunately but everybody says she was a great teacher.

[workingatperfect]

Fortunately no. There was a boy who was severely injured when I was in middle school but I didn't know him at all, I just remember the fundraisers we had for him over the next few years.

[Chrisscotland]

A girl at my school died in January she had leukaemia and had been ill with it for a long time.

[ninja789]

a couple of people at my local school where my brother went did
I think 2 suicides at mine in the last 8 years or so

[Etcetera]

Freshman year I lost one of my best friends. She went to school with me and we used to play soccer together, that's how we met. Well, my freshman year, she had a seizure on christmas day and died. It was her first one ever. And to top it all off, her 16th birthday was christmas eve.

Easter break that year, our school lost a senior. Him and some of his friends had went to the beach and the rip current pulled him under.

Sophomore year, another one of my friends died. He was working under his car when the jack that was holding it up broke, causing his car to fall on him and killing him instantly.

Then junior year a girl I've known since 3rd grade died from a brain tumor.

[Vocabulous]

At least one person commits suicide every year at my school. Someone actually died earlier this week, but it was due heart complications not suicide

[Weeping]

When I was about 11, a boy in the school I went to died. There was a storm, and I think he and his father was going to check on their boat or something so he was behind his dad on his motorcycle. A tree fell right between them and the kid died. He was eight.

Looking at the school I'm attending now, a guy in my class was stabbed four times two weeks ago. One of his lungs was punctured, and his spleen and two muscles were destroyed. Fortunately he survived and is doing well.

[LiamC]

A boy in the year below me drowned a couple of years ago, I didn't know him but I did know his best friend so it was really sad. The boy couldn't swim too well and he went too far out in the water one afternoon, loads of people were there and he just went missing apparently, they didn't find his body for a while :(

Also my old Art teacher, I had him in year 8 and he died in year 9. He was quite old so we thought it was an illness, but it was a jet ski accident :(

[Body odah Man]

Not that I know of. I'm sorry about your friend

[Miserabilia]

A girl in my school died I think 1.5 years ago, I didn't know her she had some illness I guess ):

[earl_hun]

Well, no students have died from my school, as my knowledge.
But the kindest teacher in the school, an old lady just passed away 2 weeks before her retirement :(

[Tarannosaurus]

Last month a guy in the year above me in my school died in a car crash.

[man with freaky plan]

In my school there was a girl who suddenly died from a rare disease. It was very awkward for me, as I had never even talked to her, and to be surrounded by people who are talking about it all day, and having to listen to teachers and priests talk about how sad we all are (and try to sell their religion in the process) it gets a little tiring after a while.

Other people in my school have died in different years and times, and my school is now running out of places to put commemorative benches for them.

[bobbi]

A boy had a heart attack and another got hit by a truck they were both a year older than me I knew one of them RIP .

[Cognizant]

My school had a string of suicides (and i THINK one accidental death) by train a few years ago, all at the same rail crossing. It stirred up a lot of controversy, and our school was dubbed "the suicide school" :(

[Willy_Nilly]

No but unfortunately when I was in 6th grade, a freak accident happened where a boy was almost crush to death by the lockers

[Brenda1997]

A couple of people I know of died at my school.
a guy commited suicide by jumping in front of a train, a girl who died from some sort of braincancer.

And probably the most horrifying, 2 girls I slept with in the same room at some camp a couple years ago died. 1 got hit in the neck or head (don't remember) with a golfclub per accident by a family member who didn't see she was walking behind him when he swung his club, 1 from a combination of drugs / alcohol I think. I didn't know them very well, but the fact that 2 out of 6 girls in that room at camp have died scares me a bit sometimes.

[Cygnus]

Regarding students, not that I know of.

Regarding teachers, my 4th grade teacher choked on food and died. It did move the school a lot.

[Vocabulous]

Reading this thread makes me realize that people drop like flies in my school

[Jokeezy]

When I was 15/16 years old, I met a guy who was 18, he was in my school. I didn't talk very much with him, just sometimes. He committed suicide, I don't know the true story because I wasn't friends with his ​​friends and I never dared ask. They told me that he jumped back on track.

(Sorry if my english is not right, I'm french haha)

[NeuroTiger]

A guy, one year younger than me, died while swimming somewhere...

[Thatcarguy]

My school in gr 9 or 10 some guy murdered some girl in my school about a minute from the school then he jumped off the bridge onto the highway and got hit by a truck was a weird and scary day

[Babiole]

A girl in my history class died of a drug overdose five months ago. It was so sad.

[lyhom]

Not that I know of, yet.

EDIT: Well, apparently somebody who went to my old school died today. Not someone who I knew, but hey, I guess it still kind of counts. :P

[mermaidfairy]

Not students in my time there. A teacher I'm close to passed, though, and the security guard.
Apparently a few years before I came there was a suicide.

[Cece14]

A couple years ago, the best school athlete who broke records died in a car acciedent and another guy over dosed, and thats it

[Miri]

Reading through this made me really sad.
I'm fortunate enough to be able to say that no one in my school has ever died, that I know of. There have been a few near-death accidents, all of which hit the school hard, some of which we're still trying to deal with.
The truth is that these tragedies happen every day, which you see in this thread, and I'm finding them very hard to fathom at the moment.

[Harizu]

As far as I know, nope.
But some people have been assaulted.

[Body odah Man]

For me, although I'm not friends with this guy, I know him and he's a real nice guy. He has cancer, and will probably die soon. No one else has died in my school, although someone died a year before I got to the school. Has anyone from your school died? Or another kid that you knew somehow? What was your relationship with them? I've had two online friends that have died too. How did the school react?

Not that I know of. My condolences :(

[sqishy]

I think someone died of leukaemia a few years ago, before I was in the school.

[Darth Vader]

Nope

[nklarke]

Yes, a girl died, she had brain cancer.

[Rene]

My best friend died in a car accident last June :,( I miss her so much.

[Leon03]

I know of a girl who died from cancer last year. And a boy died last fall in a car accident he caused a week after he got his license.

[Danny Phantom]

4 kids from my school died in a car accident (the car made a wrong turn, flipped over and sunk in a creek off of the East River) about a month ago. They graduated 2 years ago.

Another kid from their graduating class died 4 days before them, he was killed by his barber over a discrepancy over money.

These kids were only 19/20, a shame..

[Nicola14Swaggy]

Yep, a kid from 3rd grade died,he had a disease very uncurable ,we collected money for him so he could have a surgery in a more developed country but he died.. And also the librarian died she jumped off 4th floor (suicide)

[Snowfall]

Nothing in my school as far as I know, the closest we came was to a Chemistry Lab accident where a kid got scarred by a bottle of HCl somehow spilling over his face.
Although there is a rumor that a kid died some decade or so back, but I can't find anyone confirming the story or how he died or anything.

[centropede]

nope, nobody has died

[killer_queen]

Some kids in my district a few years back died in a car crash with a drunk student-driver.

[bob97]

Yes my freshman year a girl in my grade died. She was bulimic/anorexic. Dont know which one. She was so malnourished that her immune system was crappy and she got a stomach virus and died. Didn't know her well though

[Typhlosion]

5 people this year in a car accident, and
a girl murdered last year.

AFAIK.

[Abyssal Echo]

yes a Senior died in a motorcycle accident my Sophomore year.

[alphazenofi]

A boy died a few weeks ago, he was just 16 :( He had a cancer or something like this

Rest in peace, Andrea

[andybn]

Yes, two this year. Very sad.

[CosmicNoodle]

No, none of the people in my school have died. However A boy from another school near by was raped in the bathrooms.

[savory embers]

My eighth grade year a sophomore died on a bus wreck on on his way home from a football game. The same year my cousin died from an overdose. Even though he was technically not enrolled in school. Last year (my freshman year) a senior girl died in a wreck. Finally this year my friend, whom I was in love with, and his brother passed in a car wreck. I loved him so much. I still cry thinking about him. I'm tearing up as I write this. I'm getting a tattoo for him when I turn 16. My school' starting last year will by the time I graduate have had one student per class (with the exception of next years class with two students gone) not attending graduation. It's so sad, you always hear about these things happening, but you don't really pay attention until it happens to someone you know.

[phuckphace]

yeah, there was a kid in middle school who randomly died in his sleep one day. everyone assumed he OD'd but it turned out to be a rare disorder that caused a blood clot to form in his brain. I knew him pretty well and it was really mind-boggling how he was there one day and gone forever the next.

[Giando]

Yeah, a classmate of mine, it happened last year...

[dakota1998]

My best friend since kindergarden I grew up with, played with, caused trouble with, did teen thing with, played basketball, basketball, and track with died in frount of me. He had a problem I can not discribe and he decided to not take them. We were playing cards after our basbaball game and he seizured and i saw it and his dad saw it and called the EMS, I am not gay but when he was on streacher I got to tell him I will see him soon and hugged him. He died 2 hours later. We were 9 years old and I was upset with GOD. His parents called me over cause I was too upset at EVERYTHING. They told me what happened and asked me about his meds and I told them he stopped takeing them. OOPS that is why he died and something else. They had a suit out for him at the funeral and I told them Mick and I talked about death because of our Catholic schooling and I told him what I would wear when I died and he did to . So UI told his parents and he was in dress pants a whith dress t shirt with the St. Christopher Necklace strung out over his head and on his chest witha a dress shirt open. SADDIST DAY IN MY LIFE SO FAR.

[jjlewis]

a teacher at my school died last year I think he had a heart attack or something
and there was a girl that got killed in a car accident a few years ago but I didn't know her

[Exocet]

Yes,a girl died in traffic accident this year..

[TheLoneWolf]

Yes, when I was in Primary school a boy in my class died from leukemia. We were about 8 years old then.

[TheN3rdyOutcast]

(Note: I am not being a troll and at least 99% of the things I say in this post are true)
Although it's sad, I am completely sure that my school has had causualties, mostly because things down here tend to "pop off" easily. Gun fights, drug raids, stuff like that. :(

[ashjk]

3 girls I know committed suicide. A girl, one year junior was kidnapped and then killed.
My teacher was killed. All this when I was in the 9th grade.

[CharlieHorse]

multiple people within the same year killed themselves at a highschool in the area.

[Hudor]

A girl of my school committed suicide a few years ago. She was the daughter of a teacher.

[xXoblivionXx]

yeah, people keep dying by ODing on heroin at my school, 4 last year

[Dracula]

My pregnant friend was murdered a month ago, a boy hung himself a couple of months go, a year 7 died from a blood clot in her brain, and another guy died from drugs.

[Apassionato]

Oh my god what kind of schools do some of you go to? Suicides, rapes, murders, ODs?

One person at my old high school died of a Brain tumour, that's it. No suicides or attempted suicides as far as I know, no murders or attempted murders either, hell, there hasn't even been a serious fight between students while I went to the school, everybody just kinda got along. Nobody was ever bloody or had to go to the hospital.

[tovaris]

yust a cuple of weeks ago some guy killed himself... They put up the blac, flag and everething

[plebble]

Yep. An 11 year old girl in January 2013 from some sort of problem in the brain, she just dropped dead on the school grounds suddenly. I can imagine how horrible that would be for everyone around and her family, teachers and friends.

I believe a 16/17 year old boy committed suicide sometime in 2008... I didn't know him.

And also in April this year a 16 year old girl from my school was murdered by her boyfriend and she was actually pregnant at the time.

I didn't know either of these people. 3 that I know of... awful.

[hipster101]

I come from a small town where my High school was small and we all knew each other. This grad year was hit with the loss of one student, by means of suicide. I knew him, he was brilliantly smart and very nice. It brought the school together and brought us as a class closer. RIP Dylan...you were so close buddy...

[hockeyfan]

A girl in my class at my elementary school died yrs ago. We weren't close but I felt bad for her family and close friends.

[CrazyPerson101]

Noone's died where I live that I know of, but one of the teachers had a MAJOR panic attack and is parilized but thats the worst we have I believe

[Hollywood]

When I was in 3rd grade, a kid in my grade (or one above, can't remember) died in a fishing accident. At the same school sometime not long after, one of the teachers a couple of grades below me collapsed and died right before class.

[riverboy]

A not close friend drown and the whole class went to his funeral.

[anrigirl]

Someone at my school got shot over the weekend, but it wasn't a really close friend

[Soccertees]

yes, one of my good friends, yesterday

[FairPlay137]

Nope! I've never seen any deaths at any of my schools!

[Waleedbt]

A friend of mine who i graduated with died a DAY after his high school graduation.
It was so bad for all of us to accept since we got a BBM broadcast and all of us thought it was a sick joke.
I can still remember that day, the message was sent at like 4 am. It was hard.

[carolinae]

Last year around November a girl in my year slipped while showering and hit her head and fractured her skull. She was home alone and was found hours later. She died of blood loss. We only had a few classes together. It was really sad, though.

[kylem1229]

Nobody on our school died...yet

[Pulp501]

OP here, this has been commented on in a while, but I thought I should say that the guy at my school who had cancer died today.

[xMetalxMachinex]

My favorite sub teacher was hit by an SUV while riding a motorcycle. He was thrown 20 feet and landed in a ditch. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 7th grader got bullied for being gay, he couldn't take it anymore so he killed himself.

This is a cheerful thread.

[Elysium]

OP here, this has been commented on in a while, but I thought I should say that the guy at my school who had cancer died today.
God, I'm sorry. That's awful. My condolences to you, the school, and the guy's family. That's really, truly terrible. All of these stories are.

[Pulp501]

God, I'm sorry. That's awful. My condolences to you, the school, and the guy's family. That's really, truly terrible. All of these stories are.

I agree, all of these stories are terrible and very sad. I didn't know him really well myself, but I know he was a really great guy, and since he's had cancer for so long the school had built around him in support over the years.

[Croconaw]

There were suicides in my old school.

[Stephan]

Actually..

Now that I think about it..

When I was a freshman in highschool roughly 4-5 years ago? a girl in her senior year went behind the school where there are railraod tracks.

But typically that area is fenced off, so she somehow slipped past the broken area and wait for a train to hit her.

I remember I was in history class, a student from my class runs in saying someone just got hit by a train.

Its kind of sad, because that girl looked really bright, and I was in orchestra class with her, she played the violin heck of a lot better than I did, and now all those years have past, and her life can never be reclaimed back ever again.

The next day, school continued like any other day, and this incident was never mentioned ever again.

[Croconaw]

It's sad that it was never mentioned again. I hope it's not because nobody cared.

[Southside]

One of our star basketball players got gunned down a couple years ago

[everlong]

I actually can't think of a death of a person in my school. Either that or I just never heard of it.

[RunnerRunner]

well there was a fight where a jock got stabbed by an underclassman.
a girl died by texting and driving after school.
and in the beginning of school 2 years ago this dude overdosed.

[Ross231]

A guy two years older than me died in a car crash. There are only like 150 people in my school so it really badly affected us all.

[JacobIN]

Car crash in front of the school. About 06.
Kid died in a basketball game from cardiac arrest. About 08. Now we have defibrillators everywhere.
There were a few others, cant really remember them.

[slopestyle]

There's a handful of people from school over the years who've passed for various causes. But I lost one of my very best friends last year unexpectedly :( literally the worst thing I've ever had to deal with. The support from everyone at school has been insane from his passing, it's helped so much

[Hideous]

I'd say two people, but I will not share how or when they died.

[Magenta]

Yeah, a girl I knew and was in choir with got stabbed to death and bled out outside her home one year.

Then a friend's brother got hit by a bus.

And another girl jumped in front of a subway train.

Also, my math teacher died of cancer the day before my birthday. I heard on my birthday, and I was at home when I heard and a friend came all the way from school to give me a hug.

[justarandomteen]

Yeah last year some eighth grader died for unknown (to us) causes. Even though I never knew him it was still sad.

[Phonix]

Man, I think that these things just need to be talked about.

I think that sometimes it's alright to talk about the bad things that happen, but I also think that you should move on from it after a while, don't look back on the bad things that happen, because if you keep looking back you might fall off a cliff.

[SmokyChica]

Just last year a kid named Ebo died in my school... Poor guy. I never knew him but from everything I heard he seemed like such a nice guy. RIP

[xXoblivionXx]

yeah, mostly from drugs

[Bigdon]

When I was in about 6th or 7th grade a girl in 11th grade got killed in a car crash after prom.
The study hall teacher had a heart attack at his house my freshman year (He was about 85 years old though)
Last year a kid in my class committed suicide

[Gumleaf]

About a year ago a guy from my grade at school died from a heart attack of all things. He was a smoker and had been a heavy drinker as well. That mixed in with an undetected heart condition resulted in a heart attack. He would have been 19 when he died.

[Cognizant]

I don't think there were any faculty deaths but one dude got shot a few years ago and there have been plenty of suicides due to the intense stress level at my school.

[Warrior]

High school kids die all the time, recently we had a kid who was killed by gunfire in a drug deal gone wrong. In a neighboring town 2 kids committed suicide in the same week, maybe day.

[ImagineRepublicCity]

I only ever heard one. In year 8, a kid in year 12 committed suicide, apparently, the mood was very dull for the rest of the day, but because all the year 8 didn't know him, we didn't act appropriately...

[GoGoDiego]

A second grader in our school (a batch mate of my younger bro) died in a bus accident. Her mother survived although.

[danibu]

As far as I know, none.

[Paladino]

Four people that were in my year have died. It's sad and scary at the same time! One of them had a heart attack at 17/18. Two of them had tumours of some sort or cancer and one went to sleep one night and didn't wake up. The boy that went to sleep and never woke up's best friend came to my Great Grandmothers funeral with my cousin as they were in a relationship, a few days after he died. The strength of the boy! Felt so bad for him that day because he was holding back the tears the whole time I was with him that day.

[Perfectly Flawed]

A boy in weights class in the 8th grade collapsed and died from a spontaneously.

My seventh grade English teacher died from leukaemia.

My good friend Abby killed herself in the 8th grade.

A guy I knew died from cancer in our sophomore year.

When I was a senior a freshman girl had her nude photos leaked and she later killed herself.

There were about 3 deaths in cars on the way to and from school over the 4 years in high school. It's a pretty small road for a large school.

I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones that I could remember.

[asrlem]

I never experienced anything but this one kid in my math class had a seizure and it was scary as shit because i was sitting right next to him. Then my best friend passed out in band when he was dizzy and cracked his skull on a chair. Blood everywhere and he was in the hospital for a week and a half

[James Dean]

Yes during summer vacation a boy who I wasn't really that close with, infact I had a rocky relationship with him, but we were both on the school softball team together.

I was invited to go to his cousins party and for some reason I had a feeling that told me don't go. So I didn't. I later hear in the news and on the papers they were playing with his dad's gun and it went off and he shot himself. :(

I'd rather not talk about it anymore but yes it's very sad. But that's LA for you. Lots of kids including myself just feel like we can always do what we want and not get any consequences.

[CharlieHorse]

in the school over some years back a few kids killed themselves.

[allisonmyers]

had a teacher and a classmate died it was surreal

[ForLackOfABetterUser]

Yeah my friend (and my cousin's best friend) died in a car crash

[Jack_smith1234]

Ive had two.
a girl had passed away while in the toilets from a brain clot :(
and a boy had passed in a drink driving car crash :(

[danielgrand]

one of the most popular people in my school committed suicide last month. he was a senior.

[dontfiguremeout]

In elementary school, but I feel like she wasn't in school, yet I think she was. She was one of my friends sister. She drowned in a pool.

[SethfromMI]

one of my best friends was killed in a drunk driving accident. it is one of the reasons why I don't drink

[Cognizant]

Former high school student killed himself a month ago, and a current student (who I kinda knew) killed himself last week.

[Action Cat]

When I was in Primary school (like Year 5 maybe?) a little kid a few years below me was mauled to death by a dog. I didn't know him. It was really sad. When our headteacher actually told us the news, I felt so weird, I can't even describe it.

[Charlie48]

Didn't know him but some guy died from cancer about 5 years ago. There's a tree in memory of him.

[Uranus]

In my Elementary school years, back in the first grade, a girl died. I was new so I did not know her, I only know that she was found in the park.

One year ago, a senior student on my high school committed suicide. I heard that he was mentally unstable and tried to do it years prior, he was treated, considered OK and just before the graduation, he hung himself. The reasons were not officially announced, but our teacher had a long talk about how we should not be too depressed by our grades, so I put one and one together.

It is always a sad business to lose someone, especially when you know you could have avoided it. :(

There actually a few, a girl a year older than me got run over by a bus when she was on her way to a friends house. Another was the kitchen lady, she slipped on one of the stairs and fell on her head, it was raining so..
There are others who died of sickness but idk the details. But yeah, tragic:(

From school, two guys died in a hunting accident, and one of my best friends went nuts, stole her dads car, hit 3 telephone poles, and wound up in the hospital damn near dead.

Two of my cousins died in car accidents too. One was about 3 years older than me, but was like my best friend. He was riding his racing bike down a city road, and a semi truck t-boned him. He died on impact seeing as he was going about 200 mph
The other was 1/2 year older and was walking on the sidewalk, and his girlfriend was walking in the middle if the road. An SUV came speeding up behind her and he ran out and pushed her out if the way and got hit. He died a few days later after a lot if suffering in the hospital.

Like 20 years ago a kid died playing football for my school, he got paralysed then drowned because it was raining and he was face down, thats why my school doesnt have a football team.

When I was in year 10 someone in year 13 died from cancer, didn't know them. Also remember someone died in a car crash.

To be honest I really don't know

[Semi_IronMan]

Yeah. Our teachers son-who was also a learner at our school- passed on a few days ago. Also... Our IT/ CAT teacher passed away earlier this year.

In my last year of elementary school, one kid who was in the same grade as me died. I wasn't friends with him, and I don't quite remember how he died although I think it had to do with something in his brain (?) but I believe he died in his sleep. He seemed like a nice kid though.
When I entered high school, I think a person did die also because I remember passing by a locker that had pictures of a girl and seemed like a memorial. However, my second year there was this one guy that died that I did know. I think we had talked a couple of times and he seemed like a nice person. I do not remember what happened to him though. A teacher, music I think, also died that year. I think he was extremely overweight, probably obese, so maybe it had to do something with that.
A year later, a boy in my AVID class (kinda like an english class) was shot in his home in the morning of a school day. I don't remember if it was gang related or if it was a home invasion. It was strange because like a week before, we did this thing in class where we would have a class discussion of some topic. My teacher thought it would be a good idea to record us discussing so that later we could see how to make the next discussion even better, and it turned out that instead, he recorded the boy still alive a few days before he died. I think he gave the tape to the boy's family.

When I was in the 8th grade a teacher in my school was murdered. She had her throat cut from behind when she was walking to her car from a grocery store and they never got the guy who did it or found out what his motivations are and they think he fled the country. Anyway, the whole school was hit really hard by it since she was a really nice art teacher and although I had only known her for maybe a month or so, this was in the beginning of the year and it was my first year at the school, I did know she was really nice and it really sucked for us all.

a girl i knew in 4th grade died of some rare disease and for some reason even though we were friendly it didn't have much of an impact. I guess i was too young to understand. A girl that i only slightly knew in 9th grade was killed in some freak boating accident over the summer and that had a much bigger effect.

Yeah, there was this boy named Jacob in my class who died of cancer back when I was in grade six, we were best friends.

The entire school did a whole pile of fundraisers for him and our class went of a field trip to visit him in the hospital.

Me and our other friend, Julia, shaved our heads together in support of him that year.

His parent's made a website called "Jacob's story".

A few years later, when I was in grade eight, there was another kid named Gabriel who got cancer in that school. But I don't know if he made it or not.

EDIT: I shouldn't be saying the word "commit" suicide. Just recently, a friend of my friend killed herself - suicide should never be a crime. Not sure how but I never knew them that well.....

In primary school a girl two years younger than me almost died, she landed on her neck while she was swinging on the monkey bars. But she's fine now.

Since October of 2014, two students and one alumni (that I knew somewhat well) have committed suicide.
There was also this girl in my 10th grade english class who got cancer. She's fine now though.

At the school I left last year there had been quite a few deaths, mostly teachers but a couple of students too.

In year 7 my twin brother died. I dunno if they announced it or what at school coz I wasn't there but they did have a special church service for our year to remember him.
I dont think it really affected anyone at school cept me.

[Abhorrence]

A few people have died from my school since I've been there. I think there's been about five. One girl died from cancer when I was in year 7, when I was in year 8 there was two suicides, in year 10 there was a guy who died in his sleep from unknown causes and then recently a guy who used to be in my tutor group was murdered. This world is a shit place, RIP.

[Lottie]

I just kinda noticed how many people have responded saying people they know have died, its so sad!

During WWII, the Germans used to shoot resistance members, Jews and gypsies in my highschool's basement. We have IT classes there and the feeling is weird.

[Ben101]

A teacher died in a car crash at my school last week, but thats it. Havent heard of any kids dying since ive been there.

[Drummer Ben]

Two ended their life and one died in a long boarding accident down a large bill where he wasn't wearing a helmet.
