i'm sorry..
i don't recall ever having to deal with anyone's death before, but i remember when i left my private school to go to public school.
it was depressing for me, i never really knew how good i had it.
i lost all of my friends. i haven't seen them since january '09, though i actually just started talking to them the other day. we're thinking about meeting up or something. (my sister's all "oooh mom i haven't seen my friend in 2 weeks i'm gonna cry" deal with it <_<)
it's hard dealing with the fact that i will see them probably like once every year (they live far away & my mom doesn't always have "time" to drive me to their house). i've only known them since 4th grade, but it feels like i've known them forever. i'm praying that'll we'll one day be close again<3.
leaving my private school wasn't so bad at first, but now things have completely changed. i know this isn't something as depressing as your situation, but eh.
my friends say "we miss you & can't live without you!" but, i doubt that's true. they don't really act like they miss me at all.. it's confusing.
again, i'm sorry about your teacher

. & sorry to everyone else who posted :c
EDIT: oh hey, i just remembered my brother graduated yesterday. eh, that's going to be easy to deal with.
