Well, I heard this from a few friends today, that a kid from an across town school drowned over the weekend. Apparently he and a few friends were on their way back from Arizona and their plane was delayed in some other state along the way, and they stayed over night at the hotel. Well I guess he and the friends he was with (no parents present) had been drinking and they left this kid alone for a while; when they came back, he was at the bottom of the pool...dead.
One of the kids he was with is an old friend of mine that used to play on my soccer team as well.
Here's the article from our newspaper about it.
It seems people at my school and surrounding schools are dieing every year that I've been in high school (3 years) from alcohol or some other reason. Like earlier this year two kids died in a car accident from my school while speeding. Really sad.
Does stuff like this happen at your schools or surrounding schools? Especially alcohol related incidents?
