My friend and teammate Tyler died early sunday morning after being pressured into taking some kid's dad's oxy codon pills. He fell asleep and didn't wake up.
What sucks is that someone could've done something about it.. could've helped him away from the bad influences in his life. He was only 15.

Thats terrible. A group of girls I was real good friends with started drinking like crazy. Every weekend they go out and get drunk. The motto "Whoever is the least drunk drives us home". I see a disaster soon. 
However there is nothing we can do. The girls parents are either oblivious to what they are doing or just idiots. 2 of the girls parents BOTH are teachers at our school. Smart parenting.....not.

This isn't the same, but I've watched two of my good friends waste their lives on junk - one (my best childhood friend, actually) died two weeks before he turned 25. Second - whereabouts unknown
But that was back in the day when junk was junk - now kids have so many options, that parents can hardly keep up... God, I only hope that this will be a lesson to many. Again, hang in there, brother! We're here for ya

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. His funeral was this afternoon.
What really gets me upset is his 3 little brothers that he left behind. The oldest (9 I think) of his little brothers prepared a speech and about 4 words in fell to the floor and burst into tears. Basically the entire church broke down, but I stayed strong for my friends and team. I remember the day last year when the captain of our high school hockey team walked into the locker room laughing about how Tyler was sick and couldn't come to practice because he smoked marijuana for the first time. He was just a little freshman, still trying to make friends and was taken advantage by the captain (a senior and big time druggie) and that's when he started down the wrong path. No one stepped in to say anything and to try to help him out, and now he's gone.
Our last game of the season is tomorrow night and we are planning on starting the game without a center, to commemorate him. Please if you guys have friends or family that are making bad decisions step up and help them out, even if they don't understand because you never know... might just save their life.
