I had meant to post about it before but on Friday I found out that one of the kids at the school I tutor at was missing.
Today they've found his body.
Damn.
:(
I didn't know the kid -- he was a 9th grader and I work primarily with 10th graders but I know some of the kids I tutor knew him... God, this just sucks. I mean at my high school, we've had deaths before (and we've always joked that every class has to have someone die so they could remember them for air guitar to get the sympathy points) but this is no joke and it's a real damn shame. I feel for his parents and for his classmates... I'm glad I don't have to work on Monday when the kids will all be told about this...
It's selfish, I know but I barely know how to handle this news, much less helping others come to grip with it... I'm just really glad I won't have to step into that school until Thursday.

I'm so sorry. It must be shocking, especially when the kids are so young. And I'm only 6 years older!
