today i found out that a boy in my grade killed himself yesterday! apparently he shot himself and his little sister (a year younger) found him! I knew him a little bit, like we had talked before and I had a few classes with him. He just didnt seem like the type to do something like that. We was popular, nice, and had a lot of friends. He never seemed like he was ever picked on. I was so surprised when I heard. Everyone one at school, including me, was crying and there were a bunch of counselors in the library if we needed support. The whole day was hard, especially the classes that I had with him. Some people made some pretty rude remarks, like a few 8th graders (a grade below me) were saying stuff like "Oh, just another 9th grader to not wait behind at lunch..." And a boy in my grade said something like, "Today was pretty boring, but at least we didn't have homework. More people should commit suicide so that we don't have homework" Stuff like that made me really mad!!! I think I'm feeling a *little* better, but I'm still pretty shaken up. Oh shoot, I'm gonna start crying again now....
