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

Blimey. That all sounds a bit grim!

@Oneofthestormboys right? When I heard about the latest overdose I started sobbing. I didn’t even know the girl but Jesus Christ that’s like the tenth death in a few months

@DeluxedEdition How come so many people are into hard drugs where you come from?

@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?
