how do you deal with it

the date for me is the 26th of june 2006 its 9:26am on a thursday morning and right now im supposed to be writing areport on the construction of two coal fire
powerplants near the town of collie in western australia

yet... i find myself talking to the community of The lancers reactor

why?

because this morning i found that two 16 year old girl apparently walked into the police station yesterday afternoon and confessed to the murder of another student suspected to be a 15 year old girl whom has been missing for 4 or so days

this shocks me because its so close to home... some people may see muder and people being killed almost everyday but for me this is a first,this kind of thing doesn't hapen very often here, i've only ever know one person personaly to die and that was my grandfather, and now that i think of it. my grandmother doesn't have that much longer to go, i didn't see this personally but the victim (possibly) was the daughter of a friend of my mothers so it does affect me someway

so how do you deal with it?
has this ever happend to you?

Hi macc
No, I never made the same experience. But when I was about your age (looong time ago

) I was eye-witness of a terrible car accident: a car hit a motorbike with two persons on, rolled over the legs of the person behind and the chest of the bike-driver. As you can imagine there was a lot of blood - I will not go into the details.
The most shocking moment for me was when the less badly injured co-driver saw what has happened to his mate and wanted to stand up. Then, his legs were folding like a harmonica, because the bones were broken to pieces.
Later I heard that one person died.

Why do I tell you such terrible stories ?

What you live now, your feelings and concern, will be part of your life from now on. Some times closer, some times forgotten. Such strong shocks in your future life will continue to build up your personality though, your character and memories. You should know that not only "bad things" can cause such strong shocks, "good things" may have the same effect. Assisting to a birth of your own child for instance. (There the "Why me?-"question has another impact

).

Try now to be extremely sensible about your reactions, think about them, talk about to your parents, girl friend or another person you trust in (you may also talk to God if you believe in. But trust me: God alone will not be enough, you need human communication). Open your mind - and you will learn. Grow up. Get on.
In my case I concentrated on the survivor: I will never forget his example of bravery and courage to try to stand up even though he was badly wounded to assist his friend.

All the best, Macc.

Note: English is not my first language, I apologize for any incorrect words.

@zazie
Your words sounded pretty right to me, actually. I was having a little trouble coming up with all the right ones myself. Good job.

I've seen similar things happen try being seven years old and see a five year old get squashed by a tractor-trailer it kind of messes you up

I still dream about that sometimes. bad memories never leave you

unfortunatley there's a lot of stuff like that going on, in the next street a guy was mugged for a crate of beer.
