My geography teacher died in a car crash...
It's awful! She was on the way back home from a wedding when a truck or a van (Not sure what it was!) slammed into her car! It's a day of mourning, so we don't go to school today, but that doesn't matter now...
And the police didn't even have to take a sample of the truck driver's blood. He was so fucking drunk when they found him on the crime scene, he could barely recall his own name! I hope they fucking execute him (even though death penalty is illegal) by drowning him in a barrel of alcoholic drinks, when he prefers them over somebody's, AND his own life... |

that's terrible to hear. i am really sorry!
i agree with you, drunk drivers should be punished as hard as possible for harming and killing other people because of their stupidity |

That's tragic, really.
Personally, I wouldn't spend too much energy to hate that drunken driver - it won't make things unhappen... I just hope that - while hearing or seeing those kind of tragic occurences - as much people as possible will realize which danger drugs (alcohol in this case) can bring when you don't act responsible-minded.

I agree with everybody who says drunk drivers should be punished. WTF is happening? More people get busted for speeding than for drunk driving, even though there are more DDs than speeders. Hell, being drunk isn't a state of mind that just comes and goes like that, it's something you inflict upon yourself. The teacher's death really taught me how oftenly and easily drunk and/or drugged driving kills people.
P.S.
Do you know of any foundation or any other type of social organization that is there to battle alcohol addiction/alcohol usage? I'd really love to join one. |

remember
you can die every minute - one second and its over.
a few days ago we had here in germany a big storm
i was at work till 16.45 then im driven home though the storm
in the next day ive heard someting horrible.
in my street where i drive everyday to and from work a man (35 years old) died a few minutes before 17 o clock because a tree fell down on him. if i stayed longer at work (like i do it sometimes) i could be now dead.
sometimes we all should be a little bit more thankful that were healthy and alive _________________ maxud braucht funk food denn dann bleibt maxud maxud

Knjaz - I am sorry to hear of the loss of life. I will keep you and the family in my thought and prayer.
As for this answer. I'm not sure what country you are in, so I don't know how well this will apply, but there is an organization called 'Students Against Destructive Decisions"...It was originally 'Students Against Drunk Driving', which is a spin off of the other organizations that are against Drunk Driving.
The link for SADD: http://www.sadd.org/
Here is the link for MADD - Mothers Against Drunk Driving: http://www.madd.org/
As far as I know this is only based in the USA, so what I would do if I were you is reach out to them and see if there is anything they know about in your country.
If this doesn't work, then why don't you organize something yourself in honor of this teacher. Maybe like selling ribbons for a small price and you all can wear them on the same day and the money raised can go towards her family or even a local organization that maybe does awareness in drunk driving. If you need help, then ask your fellow classmates who also had her as a teacher. I believe the color of DRUNK DRIVING AWARENESS ribbons are red in the USA, so maybe use that color or just another color.
All you have to do is buy the ribbon, which should be cheap, get small safety pins, fold them over, pin them and then give them out. We did it here and sold them for $1.00. That was for the Oklahoma City Bombing years ago.
If you can get the whole school to participate you can raise a good amount of cash. If it goes well, then maybe it can be done every year to commemorate and remember this teacher.
PM me or email me deesha34@gmail.com if you need any help.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear what happened to your teacher, it must of been such a shock for you and so much anger considering the driver was drunk. My heart goes out to her family

sorry for my comment but
i would be happy if my teacher is dead
because he hates everything
he cant teach us neutral everytime
he tells us about what is happened with germany in 1970-1980 and has many other stories to tell us that are more important for him than the stuff we have to learn
he hates immigrants and has a lot money
and hes 60 and in my opinion thats too old for a teacher
ive never seen such a crappy guy and i never want to see him again but i have to.
the good die young _________________ maxud braucht funk food denn dann bleibt maxud maxud
