Black guy, Kelvin, nutter. Was mental for michael jackson when we were kids and could proper dance when at the school discos, couldnt play football but thought he could. Always nicking stuff and fighting, he wasnt a good fighter either strangely enough.. Also used to run around the school playground with his d1ck out when he wasnt getting enough attention. God knows what was going on behind closed doors. Died from ecstasy tablets aged 13 in 1991.
Another black guy, andrew, was playing football at lunchtime, decent player. Was running for the ball and kind of collapsed as he was going. Remember people laughing at him for falling over so pathetically, before they realised he wasnt getting up. He was on a life support machine by the end of the night and they turned it off the next day. Brain Haemmorhage, virtualy no chance of surviving, died 15yo in 1993.
RIP the pair.

Two mates(to differing degrees) died from a motorbike and car crash when they were 18 but had finished school then. Suppose everyone has stories like that tbf,

when I lived in edinburgh there was a mixed race kid in our class, he had diabetes, anyway, one day they announced in school assembly he had died. the thing was, he always had special food for his school dinner that nobody else got, including a lot of fresh fruit; anyway, it was a pretty rough school in gorgie and the other kids used to nick his fruit so he didn't get what he should, while the geriatric dinner ladies turned a blind eye, possibly too scared to intervene, although too ignorant is probably closer... I always wondered how significant that was and always regretted not sticking up for him more
 RIP James Rosie (aged 8) |

Also remember when I was about 10 everyone were talking about an eight year old that they knew, but I didnt, had hung himself. At least one guy thought it was funny. Imagine what brings an eight year old to hang himself? Or for a ten year old to think it is funny.

By:
or how an eight year old would even know how to do it? jeez, that is sad... like you say rob, makes you wonder what's going on at home

This was at a catholic school in town, i had grown up in the country, only just arrived there a year earlier, a real eye opener. Hopefully social services are improving(hard to be perfect) regards helping troubled kids.

Best mate's sister aged 10 road accident. nuff said.
I was off school for a day aged about 13 and next day asked if I'd missed anything, any fights or bollockings etc... nothing. Went through whole day, assembly and everything and walking out up the entrance from school, a lad said 'that was bad abut Mansley, wasn't it ?'. I had no idea what he was on about, turned out the night before I was off, Ste Mansley had fallen out of a conker tree on the school grounds and died, I just missed the one day aftermath. |

Three. One of a long-term debilitating illness, he'd long since left school for. The other two, in a road accident (no seatbelt), one in a bike crash (no helmet). There was another in a wheelchair for the rest of his life through trying to ride his moped when battered. Makes you think, not all health and safety legislation is bad.

By:
Badger,I sometimes look back at a lot of people i went to school with, and their behaviours, and wonder what went on behind closed doors. Maybe didnt think so much at the time but looking back
 a tricky one for teachers and social services etc but sometimes the signs are quite obvious that something isnt right. |

When I was in primary school, a lad called Scott Devlin drowned in the River Irwell, which was opposite his house. I think he'd had a lucky escape in the river once before. We must have been seven or eight years old at the time. They planted a tree in front of the school in his memory. I remember it being tiny. Almost 30 years on, that tree is fúcking huge. How time flies.

Lad I knew from school was walking home a couple of years later after a few beers and slipped down an embankment into the canal and another had brain cancer and died very young.

By:
Two i always remember, good kid called David joined in my last full year at school, good footballer, swimmer, runner and good rugby forward had a brain hemorrhage before his our A levels. Another one was Leanne K, in the same year as me, stupidly dropped a bad E in the early 90s and basically boiled herself to death on the dancefloor, long time ago but you dont forget these things.

A mate from school was part of a group of us that still got together years after. Died of bowel cancer aged just 27. Another mate at the same age died in some mysterious/dodgy circumstances in Thailand. I sometimes wonder what they'd be up to now

My mate was on the back of one of those 125cc scrambler-type motorbikes. Going quite slowly by all accounts, but the driver lost control somehow and skidded under a parked car. The driver walked away with hardly a scratch.

As a five year old I remember the teacher telling us that a girl classmate had died. All I can remember about her is that she used to eat leaves.
At college an immature student reckoned he could jump off a fifty foot high roof into a tree. He went missing one night and in the morning was found dead below the tree. |

Two boys in my team and someone elses mum died in a road accident on the way to a under 12s football match, the kid who lost his mum was in the car and survived.
A boy who was a year above me that I used to swap Amiga games with was 15 when he was stabbed and died on the park over the road from my childhood home, a relation of his, I'm not sure if it was a cousin or his step brother was also stabbed to death about 10 years later. |

26 Jun 13 02:36 None. I had no mates at senior school. blackestnight 26 Jun 13 02:38 u lucky then SQ blackestnight 26 Jun 13 02:38 Or maybe not ? Not really. One of my mates was murdered when he was 19, we went to different senior schools. Another mate was murdered when I was about 24/25 And my ex-best mate (who I disassociated from when he got into drugs when I was 30) was murdered when I was 38. An associate, not a mate, was shot dead in pub when I was 44. And the baddest facker of the lot, who was odds-on for 20 years to get topped by another villain, dropped dead in the street last year with a heart attack. |
