How Do You React To A Schoolmates Death?

I'e had three school mates die this year sad some i used to talk to... some i barely saw. How do you react in situations like these? i always feel very odd when these thing's happen. Because i feel sadness... but not a great big deal of it. An old school mate of mine died in a street racing incident that happened last night.

And he was someone i talked to in middle school and high school. It's just a weird concept that someone you grow up with from a young age is dead. And that their life was ended at such a young age /: it's just a weird thing to think about.

How do y'all react when school mates pass?

both sad and blessed (crossing fingers); one of my very best friends of junior high died of leukemia when he was 23

not only things didn't work out for him in school, but then he developed a cancer and died after 4 years of constant fighting/treatments

makes you wonder that some people are just born to suffer and die relatively quick confused neutral pray

Man WTF is wrong with the formatting? Up until a few days ago, the enter-shift, or enter, worked fine. Now sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't . I can hit enter, ten times and the paragraphs will still come out all jumbled.


Sorry for your losses. Loosing a friend, or even a casual associate, can be tough.



I can somewhat relate to your situation. Over the years, I've had quite a few High School friends and associates die young. Some of them were still in high school or in their early 20's when they died, but most were in their early 30's or 40's. Over the past month and a half, i got word that two more of my high school friends have recently died. One was 48 and the other one was 44. That brings the total to about 12.



Having people that i know, die young, just reaffirms my beliefs that life is unfair, filled with tragedy, and is extremely short. It also makes me realize that behaviors have consequences. Most people cannot live wild and fast, and expect to have longevity.





And how i react to schoolmates dying? I used to react with extreme sadness and melancholy, but its gotten to the point where I'm somewhat numb to death, period. That's not to say that i don't think about the times that i spent with the friends who have died, and wish i could see and talk to them again. Its just I'm at the point where i really have no choice but to embrace the fact that everyone dies. That's why its important to live life to the fullest, and also, to make healthy choices. It is possible to do both.



Dammit, the formatting sucks!!

Fixed it

When you are younger... late teens early twenties, you assume the road of life natural stretches out to give you time to what's needed and what you'd like to do. When classmates of mine passed at a young age, it was always a jolt. You think about the seasons of life, college, marriage, family, whatever... its been just cut off. t. Its humbling and scary. I had a classmate though he was a year ahead of me... from 7th grade thru 10th (11th) grade we shared a class together. He committed suicide at his home the last day of school of his senior year. We weren't close but he had shared with me his plans and goals about school... we were going to atttend the same university.

Most of my classmates have died from illness, one was murdered... tomorrow isn't promised.
