Okay so there is this kid that goes to my school and he's a pretty wierd kid but I guess hes had a really hard life. he works at the mcdonalds in the center of my town and he doesn't have a car. So i guess last night him and his brother were walking home and he got hit by a car.... he always wears this big dark colored one piece worker suit thing so i guess the car couldn't see him... and he died last night. And the really bad part of this story is, today at my school they didn't even have a moment of silence or mention his passing or anything. nothing.

p.s. you should make a t-shirt or something about this, or at least argue to your school that they need to do that, sometimes that stuff works and you might end up a hero!

I think the worst part about this is that if it were something like a drinking and drivign accident he would be acting totaly different.

It seems so disrespectful to not mention the loss of a student.

that's fucked upppp

my school had a moment of silencec for a kid, quincy coleman, who was a gangster and sold drugs (crack), but suuuper nice and generous at school and when he wasn't around those people

you should watch the video in my signature, it's super well made about him

Well when i was in middle school (in highschool now) like ten years before i got to middle school a student had died of cancer of some kind. This student was on the basketball team and supposly always a cheerful good person. What my school did to recgonize his passing was to frame his jersey and hang it in the basketball court or gym then there was a little plague underneath it talking about how great this kid was..i think your school should do something like this in a way to recgonize the passing of a student..

yeah, for sure. it's sad no matter what.

but, Seattle (where i live) has been having a huge gang problem recently. especially with kids joining gangs. my school is in the hood, but it is kinda seperated almost. there are the ap students (my friends) and there are the "hood rats" or whatever you wanna call them. most everyone is super chill at garfield, but it's just so easy to say, "fuck school, i'm going to go hustle and sell drugs and join a gang." so, quincy was shot in a drive by, literally right next to our school at about 9-10 on halloween night. RIP

anyway, it's terrible that this is happening to your school, i'm gonna send your principal a respectful email

To all who may be concerned,

Today I heard about someone who passed away two nights ago, a student at your school. He was a hardworking person who led a harsh, tough life. Yesterday, you didn't act upon the death in any way. You didn't have an assembly, or even a moment of silence. I'm curious why you didn't acknowledge his death, for his friends and family, or even the general populus of your school. Please do something to remember him.

Thank you,
Peter Killory

yeah i was about to post that today...... i found out that his brother was walking home with him and that he saw the whole thing. the two of them had a hard life. their real father was a dick and would rape their sisters....... they moved in with a foster family and things were going ok until their foster dad died. their foster mom started to treat them pretty bad and any paychecks they would earn from working went to her. she never even offered to give them a ride to their jobs, which probably could have saved him. its a sad story

I said this, i think it's pretty good:


To Whom it May Concern,
I heard about the recent passing of a student at your high school. While I may not be from your town, and have never met this kid, it made me a bit down. What made that feeling even worse was when I heard your school was doing nothing to remember this student, despite students wanting a memorial. The deceased lived a rough life, and he worked nights at McDonalds so he and his brother could give their family some money. That story is nothing short of inspirational to me. A hero like this should be honored, not forgotten. I ask that you please, make an announcement about his passing at the very least. Something needs to be done. At my school, we had a memorial for a student at the middle school. We also had one for a kid who overdosed on morphine. And from what I've heard, your school community is a smaller one, which I can only imagine makes the passing harder on the students. I remember seeing kids sobbing when the kid from my high school passed, and I go to a school of over 2000. So this is your time to step up and be there for your students when they need you the most.
Sincerely,
Brian Sweeney

well, he was caught up in some gang violence

he was in a gang, valley hood (madison valley in seattle) and they had lots and lots of beef with a south end gang

so, that's what happened. later that week, the assassin of quincy was found dead and there was some kind of signature from valley hood. so, it's just endless killing, really sad
