Never anyone I knew, but my years in school were marred by over-dramatic teenagers:
1 in elementary school
3 in junior high
7 in high school (2 of which followed the suicide of another kid)
Then, if you count murders (1, a murder/suicide involving a jittled boyfriend), car crashs (three kids burned up in a drag racing incident, while another kid died in a hit and run while changing a tire), fire (2 kids in different house fires), drugoverdoses (1 kid mixed alcohol with prescription medicine, while another died at a rave on ecstacy and acid) and jail sentences (1 kid murdered his entire family, but did not kill himself), the result is my high school reunion being rather empty.
Note: However, some of the deaths were from the grade below me, since people have a tendency to graduate as juniors, I decided to count them too.
