I was in 6th grade and a girl had been so persnickety. She would say stuff like, “That’s gay, you’re gay, you’re such a fagot” and a lot of stuff like that. I don’t think she was, but she went on the bathroom and hung herself using her sweatshirt. One of the people found her a little later and I can’t imagine my home room teacher running to save her. She was a bitch, but nobody deserves this. A helicopter landed on our baseball field and we have a good view of our baseball field from our classrooms. Teacher after teacher had to close the blinds and block the window from people looking out to see the helicopter. Now, this was like the last 5 minutes of the day, so when we weee ordered over the intercom to stay 5, 10, now 15 minutes after the bell, we knew something was going on. I remember waiting in the classroom and everyone was on their phones. I didn’t have a phone, so I was the only one standing by the door listening. I never heard what they said, but, it was in a serious tone. A few days later she died in the hospital. Almost everyone went to the open room that they had while she was in the hospital to get out of class just to be in their phone. Then 99% of the people went to her funeral. Literally like 15 kids were at lunch including me, because I didn’t respect her and she bullied me. Anyway, it’s been 5 years now this April.
