Disturbing Information

For those of you who don't know, I went to a pretty "ghetto" high school. It wasn't nearly as bad when I started as a freshmen, but by the time I left Shiloh High, it was depressing. My Senior year we had anywhere between 15-25 people drop out. I really think that the number is higher, but apparently the group of Seniors who go into trouble were allowed to graduate, just not walk. Anyway - it was stupid. My Senior year we had six people who were pregnant through out the course of the year. We had one girl who "disappeared" after freaking out and telling her mom that she had been sleeping with a teacher for about three years and a half years. What happened was the teacher had told her that things were becoming too serious and that things should stop. She goes nuts, tells her mom, her mom goes crazy, seeing that its a hard core Christian family they take her out of school, what a nightmare and you can only imagine the gossip stories. It didn't help that she was probably the prettiest girl in school and, in my opinion, the biggest bitch. I never really liked that whole, "I'm better than you because I'm a Christian and I go to church" crap. Aside from that, we had three huge drug busts. Two of which were kept on the down-low, but the big one involving a very well-known Senior always seems to stick out when it comes to that whole situation. We had one girl stab her boyfriend to death. I think that they were under class men, but still. It was scary.

So now it brings me to this. I had a very good, close friend in high school who meant a lot to me. He was always very kind, very passionate and thoughtful. He seemed to have such a good heart and I really thought that he would go somewhere with his life. So, this is after graduation, my graduation (he graduated in 03) when he starts dating someone that I utterly cannot stand. Of course, my tongue was tied, I hadn't talked to him nearly enough about the way I felt about things. I hadn't really ever given her much of a chance. All I knew is what I did know about her and what I didn't like about her was enough for me to not want to give her a chance. So anyway, a year goes by, I haven't talked to him but I keep hearing all these AWFUL things about him. Like he was addicted to cocaine and she was doing heroin. Just one bad thing after another. The worse thing was, however, after about a year, she became pregnant with his child. Now mind you, this is the third time shes been pregnant. Well, only two times that I'm sure of, the first time (or two times) she's had abortions. So, anyway, they are "in love" and they are "going to get married after the baby comes" and all that other total bullshit. Well, I just found out tonight, he's been cheating on her for the past three months with some other girl and has now left her. She's about a month away from having this child or what, now the doctors think, may be we twins.
Before I hated her, now I pity her. Before I pitied him, now I hate him.

Hate: v. hat·ed, hat·ing, hates
v. tr.

1. 1. To feel hostility or animosity toward.
   2. To detest.

I usually refrain from using that word towards people, but honestly, I dont know how else to describe it.
It's all Jerry Springer drama anyway, I think thats a vast reason for me extremley disliking my high school to begin with.
