We had two deaths during my time in high school. The first was a senior softball/basketball player. Everyone loved her. Her heart just stopped. I was a freshman, I didn't know her. I didn't pretend to. I couldn't even match a name to a face and my school isn't that big. I'd be insulted if a bunch of random strangers were showing up to my funeral and stuff so they come off as sensitive or whatever their goal is in the eyes of others.
The second death was another girl who was a senior. She wrecked her car. She was unpopular because she wasn't a great student, didn't do sports, and her dad was the chief of police for the school or whatever. The softball girl has a memorial and all kinds of stuff. This girl got nothing.
