hmm..i've never heard of a hit and run at school, although there has been a couple of deaths of people i know that went to my school. the first one was in 7th grade. this guy that i went to elementary school with hung himself in his room. he was adopted, and his sister found him. then in 8th grade, this girl that had leukemia died. she was in my spanish class, but i've known her for 2 years. a lot of the guys in that class would make fun of her. i tried to help her out because i noticed that one of her legs was messed up. i went to her funeral with a couple of my other friends that knew her. that same year, my favorite teacher's wife died from lung cancer. they both smoked. it was so sad, he was grumpier than usual, i couldn't look him in the eyes after that. a year later, he was diagnosed with lung cancer as well. then, in 9th grade, one of the foreign language teachers was on one of the planes that crashed into the twin towers. then, there was this guy i knew that died from falling off some rocks at Red Rock. a friend of his dared him to climb some rocks, and i guess he lost his balance. thing is, his 'friend' called the police after he ran off. i don't even think he went to his funeral. he must feel horrible. that guy was only 18. =T
