A couple days ago a girl at my school died when she got hit by a car at night walking across the street with her boyfriend. Her name was Heather but I did not think I knew her but I just found out today when I went into English that she was the girl who sat right in front of me. She was a pretty cool person and that was pretty tragic to hear. I did not know her much at all but it just felt strange looking at that empty desk where she was just 2 days ago and knowing she no longer exists in this world. Anyway now this part weirds me out. My friend told me she was out at night with her boyfriend because she skipped her Bible study thing or whatever to hang out with her boyfriend. Just an unlucky occurence I hope but he thinks God used some powerz. I don't think that is true but could it be?
 
Ya man, I mean I didn't really know her, but when you talked to someone awhile ago and then now you know they are dead it's like, wow I can't believe they are gone. I hope it wasn't too painful a death, I'd hate to get killed by a frekin car.
 
I'd take a sting ray over a car.
 
Bullet to the head (in the right side in my temple) for me. Hopefully an instant kill because I'd hate to be writhing in agony.
 
One of my brother's friends died in a snowboarding accident. Path was shittily marked and she ended up going straight off a cliff. I really had no relationship to her other than she was my friend's girlfriend's sister.

For some reason, it really tore me up. Ended up going to the funeral and I just walked out feeling like complete shit over what happened to her. I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that, on the day of her death, my friend got a call from his girlfriend while we were shitfaced in some pub. He couldn't understand anything she was saying with all the crying, and I just told him to shrug it off as female emotional bullcrap. It was only when I got home that my brother told what happened.

I've got to say no matter how old you are, it's taken you this long to figure that out?

Also, it doesn't matter how you die, you still die. It doesn't matter in the end. Granted, I would like it to be somewhat quick, but once it gets there, it's just done.
 
Dude Ive known it is strange all along, but when death strikes out like that its just surprising. Maybe you think death should just happen, but this girl was just a junior in high school. Her life has been cut short and I think she deserved longer.
 
Or Candyland, whichever floats your boat.

Death happens, and we all think the people we know/have had contact with/think are somewhat cute deserve longer lives. I think that the people I know who've died deserved longer lives, but it happens and it SUCKS.
 
It scares me how dangerous automobiles are in this country. When I think about how I could be out walking, or driving my car, and some idiot does a stupid thing... my life could be over that easily. It happens to people all the time, every day in this country. Just walking and BAM... a car hits the street lamp you were waiting at, killing you... or you're crossing when the light is green and some asshole speeds a red light and kills you.

Happens all the time. There have been a couple instances where I would have been right at the exact spot a car hit, if I had made a different choice.
 
I can't imagine what it'd be like for the parents. To walk in her room, find her bed undone, her computer's still on, find the place still full of life... but she's just not there anymore...
 
I was in a grocery store when a man drove through the wall. I don't know if anybody got hurt or anything, but it easily could have been me, my mom and the other kids with us that could have been hit, if we had decided to check out a little earlier. I hate to think what it would be like if any of my friends from school died.
 
I never really think of death, I just accept it as a part of life, I dont even try and think about what happens after deaths, in the end, we will all find out. The death experiance I am afraid of is of illness, because it means you have to lie back in your death while you feel your body slowly start to lose life, and your cant do anything about it. My brother died in a car crash when I was 9 at the age of just 17, I was pretty young to understand at the time so I never really mourned, but when I turned 17 myself this January, it really did hit me properly then, I didn't break down and start crying or anything, but at the moment I am looking the future with university, deciding what I want to do with my life, currently getting into a fine girl in college and getting plenty of money from little gigs my band sets up, and it really hit me that that is exactly the sort of stuff he would have been thinking about, basically still got his whole life ahead of him, and he died before he could find out.
 
I just graduated from high school and someone I knew sort of well died in a car accident.

Actually, two died and I knew both of them, just one a lot better than the other. Both were in a few of my classes though. Just feels weird to know he's not around anymore. I've had both grandmothers die recently, so I got used to that, but it just seemed normal to me. Nothing out of the ordinary, they were old.

But having hearing about the guy's I knew at school being dead left a weird feeling. Didn't really bother me that much since I wasn't really friends with them or anything, just a weird feeling.

Also made me think about all the times breaking 200 KM/H on the highway in my friend's Audi. :O
 
I try to avoid death. Worked well so far.
 
I've successfully avoided meaningful death. But that doesn't really mean anything, considering I'm only 15.
 
I never go to bible study. Shouldn't God have it in for me alot worse than he did for her, according to that logic?
 
My friend almost got run over by some idiot in a car once, he slowed down to let us cross then sped up on purpose, my friend had to jump and lift his legs up and went over the bonnet.
 
Yeah, this sort of thing really sucks. This summer, a kid at my school was shot and killed in Boston. I never knew the kid, but just seeing the people who did sort of tears at you, you know?

God's biding his time :p.

Anyway I haven't really had anyone around me close to me die yet, but it's just a part of life really.
Also I'm too young to be making proper lifelong friends (though a lot of my school friends will stay in touch with me no doubt), so I dunno.

pshh whatever.

*dies by a series of painful and strange events*
 
One of my friends from school died two years ago on st.valentines day, he was thirteen at the time. He was knocked down by a car after running out between two cars, it wasn't the drivers fault. He died in the ambulance. What really hurt me was I was sat next to him no less than two hours before he died in a Maths lesson, we talked about what we wanted to become, he wanted to be a psychiatrist.
 
Sorry to hear about that, as most probably already said, death is a terrible thing.

Let's just hope we live long enough to find out who the gman really is, eh? ;)
 
Cmon who would like die in 3 years or whatsoever time?


*Dies*
 
Long ago, when I am in primary school, one of my friends died. To be more accurate, he commited suicide. In fact, I was talking to him, laughing just the day before! It's just like... he suddenly vanished from my life, without any reason. I found that that was not as bad as I thought. People die. We must face the fact. No matter that it is a suicide, an accident or simply a death due to natural courses, people die someday. We cannot hide from it. We are facing it.





p.s. I actually laughed when I heard his death since he bullied me a lot.




p.p.s. he sucks
 
You laughed? What kind of friendship was that?
 
If god kills you for skipping bible class then he's a jerk.

Oh yeah, and my buddy died in a car accident on the way back from work a few weeks ago. He was super religious and always helped out with the church, so go figure.

I was sympathetic till I read the last few lines

if god was the vengeful god people think then why strike down Heather and not say Osama bin laden? or saddam? or papa doc duvalier? or george bush? Please for your sake try to rise above silly superstition
 
Well, if god operated by some mechanism, then it would **** up all of our known physics and we'd see some evidence of it. The only "proof" of god's existence and interference with our universe is the unexplained existence of the universe. That means that the only place where god could have decided to affect the course of things is back when he created everything from nothing, the big bang or whatever you believe. That means that if he punishes you, it's because he predetermined that you would anger him and then punished you for it billions of years before you were ever born. So if he's that much of an asshole then we're all ****ed.
 
It's it's not its.

Yeah, I'm sure god... oops sorry, God would smite me for lowercasing his name. Actually he probably would since he's a bastard.
 
Thank god I worship Satan. He wouldn't strike me down for skippin out on a ritual sacrifice.
 
I've never seen anyone struck down.

Anyways, a girl at my school recently committed suicide. Her parents were going through a bad divorce, some other things were going bad in her life probably and she hung herslef in her basement. :( I didn't know her, but it tears me up almost the same.
 
Yeah, it is weird. Something like this happened in high school, there was an accident and a kid a couple years below me got hit by a bus. Didn't think I knew him but then found out it was one of the kids who used to play handball near where we'd hang out. We used to throw their ball over the fence whenever it rolled over to us >.>
 
My sister's best friend died in high school. I was like damn.
