Really, I figured, it would be better for the world if we all just killed ourselves. Except of course that would break our parents’ hearts and set bad examples for our little brothers and sisters, and everybody at school would have to go to endless assemblies about what to do if you get invited to participate in a group suicide, and we didn’t want to be remembered like that. It’s much better to be on the murder victim wall, right? The Died Too Young wall?
