I recently found out that a classmate of mine from High School shot himself 2 weeks ago. He is the first person in my graduating class to die. I never knew him very well, and he wasn't very friendly with many people, but it makes the event no less tragic. My father is a teacher at the high school I attended, and had spoken with him on several occasions, which made this hit home for both of us in a strange way. My father made the comment that it is always so sad and strange when a person's life is taken or ends before their time.
