Don't know anyone that screwed up their lives personally, but 7 guys from my second HS ended up dead or in the hospital recently. There were 5 guys in the car and they saw their friends on the side of the road. So they popped the trunk and the two friends jumped in. Well, around this turn on Compromise Line and Route 66, the driver lost control, spun out, and hit a tree. The two guys in the back were thrown out and hit by an oncoming van.
The other guys had minor injuries from the crash. Haven't heard anything else about the follow-up.
The school seems to be a gathering ground for idiots. One guy put a wig on his head and lit it on fire. Another one had those shock-belt things that are supposed to help you lose weight. He put it around his chest and set it to the highest setting. Gave himself a heart attack (this was AT school).
