More on the student at my school who was killed

[Qwepir]

Is it bad if I dont feel sorry or any emotion at all.

Not really, why should you care about some random person you've never met?

When I saw my aunt die from cancer I didn't really feel anything.

When I walked in and saw my grandma hooked up to a hospital bed (she had cancer too) with my grandpa sitting next to her I broke down and cried.
Then again I was probably 10 at the time.

That's really sad.

I remember this year that a girl from my school and her family were killed in a 3 car rollover crash on their way back from vacation.

Death takes people at such an unnecessary time, but we can't do anything about it.

Someone at my school died in a car crash a couple years back. He was an starfish to everyone that wasn't a good friend of his, and his perceived academic status and personality could best be described as "didn't even care about his life enough to drop out of school." Turns out, it still shook most of the school up, so I can only imagine what it would do in the case of a respectable person.

His fault; how do you get hit by a train?

I believe it was mentioned somewhere on the first page that he was listening to music and texting when he was crossing the tracks. But it is a bit odd that he wouldn't feel the vibrations.


That aside, that is pretty sad.

I still don't really get why we cry about someone who we hardly know (I'm not saying it's a bad thing), but I guess it's just the thought of "I'm not going to be seeing that person ever again" that gets us. It reminds me of when my great grandmother died last year- I hardly knew her, in fact, I'd only seen her 2 or 3 times, but I still cried when she died (but I'm still not sure if it was seeing her daughters burst into tears in the middle of the funeral that got to me)

Oh.

He deserved it.

[carolcat]

Oh.

He deserved it.

While it is sort of his fault for not paying attention, I don't think it's right to just say that he deserved it.

[e-maxx]

1) While it is sort of his fault for not paying attention
2) I don't think it's right to just say that he deserved it.

1) It's completely his fault; not just 'sort of'.
2) Have fun lying to yourself.

Why are you sharing this?

[carolcat]

Why are you sharing this?

Because it's relevant to the topic.

1) It's completely his fault; not just 'sort of'.
2) Have fun lying to yourself.

You're quite the negative person, aren't you?

[IUV]

1) Because it's relevant to the topic.

2) You're quite the negative person, aren't you?

1) It's not.

2) I'm not.

[Coolio]

1) It's not.

2) I'm not.

You really, really need to get banned.

[carolcat]

1) It's not.

I don't see you getting onto all the other people who posted about people they at least somewhat knew dying, like these:

last year a kid died at our school

When I saw my aunt die from cancer I didn't really feel anything.

someone at my school died from a train a few years ago.

[Freeze]

It is completely his fault carolcat ;_;.
Still, I feel sorry for the guy.
