Everything Happens For A Reason....But What Good Reason?

Why is everybody dying? It's so depressing and so many young people have died. It doesn't seem right at all. Why do kids who haven't even began their lives yet. They have plans for growing up and best friends they go to school with and a lot of family that are ready to watch them grow into adults. 4 people from our senior class has died since their 8th grade year. Out of the 300-some people in that class, four of them won't be there for their graduation. How depressing is that to think about?

Now I wasn't close with any of the people who have died. But it still really hits you that your life can be over just like that. Sometimes people think that bizarre accidents can't happen to you, but when people you go to school with and see on a day to day basis aren't there anymore, it's put into more of a perspective to you. It's really sad to see people that you are friends with hurting so bad because one of their best friends is gone. Most of the time when young people die, it is a freak accident. Hopefully this time people will learn from Mellisa's tragic mistake and be more careful and wear their seatbelts so our school doesn't have to go through all of this sadness again.
