I hate to think that we get so callous when it comes to the death of people who acted irresponsibly. Dunno, it could just be me, but I still feel bad that he died. Death sucks for young people.
Some years ago, I attended the funeral of a student of mine. He had been playing in traffic with his brother and friends, and he was hit by a van and dragged to his death. That may have been the saddest funeral I have ever attended. Sure, he died because he was acting irresponsibly, but that didn't stop me from wishing I could make it better. He was such a bright kid, mischievous, full of life. Now, he's in a hole in the ground. He was fifteen.
