The only school-related thing I can come up with is the piano smashing prior to a play we were performing (that's what I call an omen
Then theres the romour of the girl who got so stressed out by her exams she stuck a pensil up her nose then rammed it into her brain during her first exam...not sure how true it is tho or if its just one of those stories that goes round all schools to scare people about to do their GCSE's
We had the story of the girl who'dworked so hard for the whole of year 10 and 11 and then collapsed before exams and couldn't sit them and failed all her GCSE's. Obviously, the upper sixth started spreading that one around after we'd all got overworked with coursework. It was complete bollocks, of course.
I'm so sick though, I had to giggle at the guy who died by brushing his teeth.
Also, my first headteacher made himself almost deaf in one ear by banging a piece of wood against another RIGHT NEXT TO HIS EAR (have to get that bit in), and it did something to the inside. Not sure what like. He had to resign ;(.
We had that one too, I believed it till just now! Just shows how thick I am I suppose! :banghead:
One of the bully girls in my class slapped a boy on the ear with such force that it burst his eardrum! Oh and a stupid twat boy put acid in his eye in chemistry so that he could get out of the lesson. Turned out to be a bit more serious than that.
I don't think my teacher (who, incidentally was THE coolest teacher I ever had) meant to hit the bit of wood so hard. It was a shame he resigned, I missed him.
He did come back on our last day when we moved though
On a more serious note, a couple of years ago my old form tutor's 7 year old daughter died quite suddenly from some sort of cardiac damage that the post mortem was only able to attribute to the common flu virus! Apparently she came into her parents bed to say she did not feel well and just collapsed...it's just so tragic :crying:
One girl who I'd been to school with all my life died from solvent abuse aged 15, a boy in my year fell from a tree and was crushed by the branch in year 8, and two girls in the year below died, one from cancer and on in a car crash. All really sad.
That reminds me of the day at school I wondered what would happen if tried to put a staple in my thumb. :crying: I was only 7, and it hurt, the school secretary had to drive me to the hospital.
:eek: One of the little kids i was at infant school with decided to find out what would happen if he put his finger in one of those pencil sharpeners, that all the teacher used to have, where you used to turn the handle to sharpen the pencil...needless to say he also needed a trip to A&E.
Though i'm not much better cos i had a toy sewing machine when i was little, with a real needle i (how dull are the toy manufacturers?!) I wondered what would happen if i wound the needle all the way down, i wanted to know if it would actually penetrate my nail...needless to say it did, and it hurt like hell :crying:
That's a lot of deaths
In my time at school, only one girl has died. She was a few years above me and died while on a school trip (to the otherside of the world) and fell off a mountain to her death. I didn't know her whatsoever, barely even seen her around. But still really sad. It must have been about five years ago now.
last year, a boy got 'squished' on his moped (I say this, because he was hit side on and then into a van)
year before that, that kid got stabbed (remember the one who apparently got killed because of a game? stephan. didnt really know him though)
year before that I think we were ok... I cant remember
I know the year before that a girl got knocked over by a car, and the year before that was another girl (they've put traffic calming measures in place now).
When you consider its a school of about 800 students, 1 death per year is quite high!
I had her all through secondary school, for five years and she was absolutely lovely. She always used to listen to the girls problems and stuff she was a bit like a mum but at school! I was so sad when I found out.
blimey that is a lot.
Just one person at my school has died, and about 1,200 students in the school in any academic year. I've been there for like seven years! We have a really low deathrate around here..I hope.
Since leaving school 4 of my mates have died, 3 in seperate car accidents and one from solvents.
Pretty grim really.
