Re: dying high school kids.

When I was a junior some 15 year old at my previous high school jumped out of the back of a moving pickup and died. I didn't know the kid and I didn't really feel all that bad even though I knew people who knew him once I learned the circumstances. Apparently he was drunk, and the friends driving were not drunk but had been drinking. And were going about 35mph when he thought it a good idea to jump out of a truck driving down the street. Apparently his twin brother tried to stop him.

They called it a tragedy, I called it natural selection.

Some people call it humor, I call it being kind of a dick.


Besides, a tragic hero is the protagonist of a tragedy, and they are defined by coming to ruin due to a fatal flaw or error. Strictly speaking, a drunk kid making a poor choice and dying because of is a lot more like a tragedy than an innocent child dying of the croup (which could be seen as more like natural selection).
