At that age you think you’re 8 foot tall and bulletproof. The first few deaths in my graduating class should’ve been enough to remind us of our mortality. Lord knows they came soon enough. But of course it took a few more before the lesson sunk in.

Yeah, I remember.
However, my brother learned his lesson in high school when a car load of his friends, who he was supposed to be with that night, had an accident and they all got killed. At the last minute, he decided to stay home and do some homework which is why he wasn’t with them.
It hit him really hard. My mom told me later that he really turned his life around after that. I didn’t notice, just being a teen myself.
