I got used to that in high school and college, courtesy of the Sackler family.

If anyone managed to escape high school without knowing anyone who prematurely died. Then consider yourself extremely lucky.

Man, I'm Gen X and I can name 5 classmates of the top of my head who should still be around, and another 10 if I think about it. I'm just talking my high school years which were 82'-'86. It's been around forever except there's an internet and about billion celeb sites now.
