A lot of kids at my school are angry, very angry, about our Homecoming being shut down and how our new Principal is handling the dark cloud above our school. 

 At my school we recently had a horrible tragedy, actually several, a girl in my grade died in a motorcycle accident and shortly after a friend of her's committed suicide. The whole school district was shaken and a majority of the people I hang out with knew the girl who passed away, I felt a sense of blankness or maybe I was numb to the situation, I didn't really know the girl but it hit a lot of my friends really hard. I couldn't think of her face but in my heart I knew she was in the other world. Our new Principal didn't do anything, that I can recall, that would be basic protocol to follow when a student dies. For the longest time she didn't announce funeral times for the girl and she didn't even touch on the subject of grief counseling for her friends or siblings. About a week or so after her funeral we got the news that a friend of the girl had committed suicide and THEN the Principal managed to get on the morning announcements and make it known to the school that Grief counseling was available. 

 Safe to say, the whole situation was handled very poorly, the new administration at my school doesn't really talk about the deaths of these kids. I feel sick thinking about how their families must feel right now. I want to mourn, but I never knew the girl very well and yet I know how much she meant to a lot of people! If I could at least be a comfort to my friends maybe I will find peace...
