Her parents came and gave a talk in our school and I know they saved our lives… myself and my group of friends bar maybe one, never did drugs, never saw the need when we were underage drinkingWe must be a similar vintage! It was ecstasy she took, she was only 18. I remember all the teenage magazines after being full of ‘how to look after your friend if they’ve taken ecstasy’ articles with first aid advice not long after she died. I have never and would never do drugs because of it - not because I think I’m better or smarter than anyone else, just because I wouldn’t risk it. Her parents were really brave to allow the photos of her in hospital to be published and I think they probably saved countless lives in doing so.
News next week so people will move on to some other bit of gossip. I just hope she’s okay after it all.
