Wow...this guy I knew from my school in one of my classes that sat in front of me died at his best friend's house today. He was riding a motorcycle without a helmet and fell off. His best friend was right there when he died. He didn't even make it to the hospitol. He turned fifteen 4 days ago. He was a freshman in high school. I feel like...like ****. People shouldn't die when they are in high school. This is wrong. I'm sorry, I don't know what I expect you guys to reply on this topic...I just wanted to share this, and to remember to always live in the moment I guess...I mean, what if that was you? Would you have fulfilled all of your goals?....

so?

I've been reading all of these replies. DWM is right, she's only being honest.

I agree with uniqeperson. My sister died when I was a few months old. And my mother died a few months ago. My grandmother died 3 years ago, ect. It still hurts. Even if I never met that family member or didn't know them very long or don't remember them well it still hurts. You feel like you are missing something, someone you could have gotten to know or love. That makes people sad. I hope this makes sense, but that's just how I feel.

Sucks, don't it?

It is true indeed that death is a part of life. That doesn't make it any easier or better when it happens, but it's part of life.

I am sorry about what happened, and that it has really upset you, but the kid should have been wearing a helmet. That was just stupid. He knew he could die if he didn't wear a helmet, and I'm not saying that helmets can keep you from dying, but they can offer extra protection. In a way it is sort of the kid's own fault that he died. He knew it was very possible and decided to ignore that, and ended up saying that ultimate price. I guess it just goes to show that you have to value your own life and take care of it as much as you can, which includes wearing your helmets, kids!

I'm not trying to be insensitive, I really am sorry about it, but it could have been provented to a certain extent. That's the truth...it was his rash behavior that was probably a significant factor in his death.

i kin agree with dwm but i can't get over my mom's death even though she died when i was 3 now i am 14. That was 11 years ago.

DMR: I feel sorry for you. If you don't live life optomistic, what reason is there for living at all? i thought i could post something on here because i was venting. would u like people to just forget about you once you die? would you like no one to remember? to think of you? i'm sorry, but i wouldn't. it feels like there is a hollow place in me, and i know that you are supposed to get on with it and push it into the past, i didn't post this topic to be told the obvious. i appreciate your honesty, but not your bluntness. life is blunt and it hurts enough.

Geez, DWM, that was kind of harsh

---

yes it was. but you know what? life is harsh too, and we all need to get used to it. living with optomisim may be nice, but it makes you blind. whether you see the truth or not, youre still in denial of it. pessimists see the truth, accept it and accept that there is no hope. death is a part of life. none of us can escape it, and weeping over someone who is dead is a waste of time and energy. you'll be there soon, so stop crying and start living.

i wasnt yelling at you, jen, just so you know. just a rant

I just got back from school. They announced it over the intercom and a bunch of people were just crying. The person who sat behind me was his carpool and everything. It was so sad. The entire day you could walk through the halls and people would just like....be crying. He was in my religion class and his seat felt so empty. I really hope that it doesn't feel like this forever....his best friend didn't come to school today because he was there when he died and he felt really awful. i wonder if this is what its like when you are older and your friends start dying....I know that death is a part of life, but it still doesn't feel right. He did a lot of volunteer work and he was on the jr. devision of the fierdepartment where you work 12 hours a week, a licensed scuba diver, and a liscensed paramedic. He did a lot in the time he had, but I know that I would be really dissapointed if I died now....there are so many things that I haven't done...

"death is a part of life."
this is true.

My cousin's friend one night went up to his room after dinner to work, and then his mom went up to see him and she found him dead...at 15. It's sad, but like dwm said, it's something that happens.

"I mean, what if that was you? Would you have fulfilled all of your goals?...."
I don't know if I'd fulfill my goal by that time...I guess it depends when I die

my best friend's friend died a few months ago. i had just talked to him on the phone a few days before. he overdosed on drugs. I forgot which one. my friend was devastated. I was so worried about her.

yah..they shouldnt... hes in a better place...once ur dead..i dont think dreams and worldly things should matter

Geez, DWM, that was kind of harsh...true, but harsh...

Anyway...I know that it's hard seeing someone your own age or someone you know die; it really brings it home, somehow. Makes you realize it could actually happen to you, I guess...especially the first time it happens. Best of luck. Love, Jen.

I'm sorry that has happened to you, that's sad. My best friends brother killed himself when he turned 13, sad. My old b/f died at 13. ect. I hate it when people die so young. Everyone should live a long happy life, but a lot of the time it doesn't happen.
