There's something seriously wrong in my hometown
This morning the fourth alumni, from my high school, in the past month and half died. The oldest was 32 and the youngest was 19 (her 20th bday would have been last Monday). And this a pretty typical year. It's a small town. Two of my high school boyfriends past away a few years ago. I don't know, it just seems crazy that so many young people are dying.
Laura, what year did your DH graduate? Is this happening to Chesapeake alum too or just Northeast? I'm just in total shock.
Re: There's something seriously wrong in my hometown
That crazy and really sad for the community too. Two questions come to mind, how many student go to/went to your high school, and are they all dying from something similar or completely random things?
My high school had around 1200-1400 students and there were a couple of deaths every year of students and sometimes teachers. I think the majority were from car accidents or natural causes, but some were from playing around with guns or drug overdoses. Really sad stuff.
I'm sorry this is all happening so close together.
I am so sorry deaths are so hard, and it really hits home when you knew them.
I graduated in a class of 120 and I know 4 have died already, and I graduated in 2005. I think it must be normal, but it's still so sad.
He graduated in 2000. His 10 year reunion was last month, and they didn't say anything about people in their class even though they were supposed too. One of his best friends died in 2003, but he was in Iraq. I also feel like its happening more and more in that area. A lot of it seems to be drinking and driving. Seems like every time I turn around I hear about someone else in this area that died though. It sucks.

So sad!
We have only 2 that had died, but our class was 50 students so I guess that's a lot for our class size. One of them was when we were 11 though, suicide and very sad.
For everyone else, my hometown has 2 high schools. Laura's Dh went to the other one. Small world.
