Around ten of my classmates have died this year from overdoses

☹️ we had a very small class of like 300..... I think around 30 people have died since I graduated from overdose and car accidents and drowning a boy shut himself in the face with a shot gun another father of five kids hung himself

Can anyone else relate? Is this normal? Is this because I’m from a small town with nothing there? I don’t understand

Is this just the reality of growing up? Pretty sure 1/3 of my classmates are using hard drugs

It sounds like frustration took over the town
@DeluxedEdition its a horrible fact that its not uncommon.

Small towns are easy prey.

And modern drugs like ice are very quicky addictive.

Its horriblly sad .

@Khenpal1 I always found stuff to do in the country. I would go on adventures in the woods or go bike riding. I had lots of hobbies, I crochet, paint, draw, play video games I don’t know what’s wrong with my generation 🤔 yeah let’s all do hard drugs until we die

Now I know why my mom and grandma never let me hangout with anyone from there....
@Khenpal1 yep.👍

Small towns just aren't prepared for this shit.

Drinking and hootch just dont hold the bar to these new drugs .

Its devastating

Unfortunately, suicide usually occurs when someone sees no other option in their life. Guessing why a person or group of persons have suicided is not a productive thing in my mind. Even those closest to them usually do not know.

It is a tragedy for your class and your town.

Maybe a local psychologist would have a view or the college counsellor.
That’s terrible. No all my friends from school have had mixed fortunes but on the whole are doing okay.

Do you live in a place that has a problem with this? Maybe there was dealer targeting your school.

@SirenCalledLuce I cant really say all I know is for the past few months people my age I went to school with were dying like flies. I asked my sister what the hell is going on and she didn’t know. Finally more people started coming out and saying overdoses.... which makes sense all those kids are on meth and dope meth is especially bad

You should leave. That’s a sign the town has nothing to offer and there’s a great degree of hopelessness.

Move on and find somewhere that’s not so small and actually live…

@Adogslife I left years ago for better job and schooling opportunities.... I live in a much bigger town with more things to offer. There are drugs here but drugs are everywhere.
It seems like my older town had a significant problem
🥶

@DeluxedEdition sorry to hear that, but more happy that you’ve moved on. Congrats to you. I wish you great success. 😊

No it isn’t normal. I guess that area had a problem. It sounds bad, like Junkie High.

@CakeByTheOcean it certainly doesn’t seem normal........

Blimey. That all sounds a bit grim!

@DeluxedEdition How come so many people are into hard drugs where you come from?
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@Oneofthestormboys I have no idea that’s literally why I’m asking you guys. What causes people to use hard drugs?

I left because when I tell you there are no jobs there aren’t. There are no schools no colleges no small businesses just farmers and they don’t make any money either honestly.

I wonder if that’s a contributor? Because there is nothing else to do?

@DeluxedEdition I don’t know. It certainly doesn’t sound like a place where human beings like to be eh?
Iv'e known a couple of people that killed themselves but not well. They were pretty young at the time like 30.
Same thing happened to my graduating class between 2000 and 2004. It may be a local phenomenon
