a kid was brutaly beaten to death yesterday. And this morning when i came to school i found out that he went in my school! all classes was canceled there were kids crying and the school was in chock. You dont react in the same way when you see in the news that a kid been beaten to death but when you realise that he went to my school and that you know who he was then it suddenly feels so close and scary. One of his closest friends is in my class it will feel weird tomorrow.
could be some guilt that they didn't care before and now will never have a chance to. and you don't have to be close to someone to cry when they died. i've had to go to several funerals where i barely knew the person, and the manner of their death was so tragic that you can't help but cry your eyes out.
