    Ours had some theater kid pretend to be dead for a week and did a fake memorial on the football field. They played it like he was actually killed while driving drunk.

    I also remember not really caring cuz I didn’t know him, and wondered why the whole school had to pretend to care. I kinda wonder if it was puberty that made me not care or if I just ain’t got that empathy in me.

      That’s very extreme lol.

      There were a few deaths throughout my time in public school. I didn’t think too much about the people I didn’t know. Only 1 person that I was friends with, so I did attend his memorial at which i cried. I think its normal to not spend too much time thinking about the deaths of people you don’t know.

        People die every day. I still feel bad for them and their families’ pain, but if you truly mourned each one, it’s all you’d be able to do.
