    I don't know what is going on

    In the past two weeks in my two oldest sons school these things have happened

    Last week early week 17 year old boy took his parents gun put it in his mouth and blew his head off

    Last week mid week 16 year old Oded on drugs

    Over the weekend 15 year old girl run away from home and they are still looking for her.

    This week early week 16 year old died in a car wreak he didn't have his seat belt on and was ejected and the car rolled over on him.

    This week day after 15 year old died in car wreak and she was pregnant her boyfriend almost died but it reported to be doing better.

    This sure is making all of us parents grab our kids remind them of the importance of a seat belt and tell them we love them very much.
    I speak my mind because it hurts to bite my tongue!

    Wow, that's a lot of bad, in a short time. Hope it's not a sign of the times.

    the first couple sound like peer pressure.

    ...or depression. It's horrible when any of these things happen singularly. Grouped together at one time it's overwhelming. I hope the school has counseling available for their students.

    WOW how horrible!
    They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.

    A lot of that same stuff I have been hearing in our local news.

    My 16 year old son came home very upset a few days ago.
    He told me that one of his good friends had died. The boy and a few friends were burning trash or had a fire of some kind going and one threw either a hair spray can or gasoline in the fire and the boy was burnt over 90% of his body and died the next day during school hours. It was all over the school. I just saw it on the news this morning.
