i'm so shook right now. In class we were planning on having a field day today so no regular classes but 1 hour before all my classmates got a message saying "the field day has been cancelled because something happened. get on the zoom meeting at *this time*". i didn't think it was anything serious , perhaps higher corona restrictions so we weren't allowed to meet outside while social distancing or something or idk. anyways, i log in and all the teachers from all my classes were on (including my other classmates of course) so i thought that was weird? anyways. Our main teacher was very taken back and said that John (not his real name, but his one of my classmates) was taken to the hospital at 3 (i think) in the morning because someone who knows him was worried about him and called the people at our school that specialize with mental health and stuff and they rang his doorbell but he didn't answer. (i assume they called the ambulance?) anyways. my (main) teacher also prefaces it by saying that he didn't feel good (mentally) and weeks ago i heard John say something in our zoom meeting that he felt proud that he's getting used to asking for help or something, it's blurry and it was a while ago but i remember feeling bad for him when he said that. i have never spoken to him. i don't know anything else about him. but our field day was cancelled and 2 hours later we got an update that the ambulance got to him while he was unconsciousĀ but still breathing. i have no idea what happened. it sounds like drugs but he didn't seem like to type to use them and i have never seen him under the influence of anything at least not in school. it feels so unreal when something like this happens in your own life. sure you heard about this sort of stuff all the time online but i didn't expect this to happen to anyone in my class. it makes me wonder if i could've done anything to help. he didn't seem like someone with those type of issues because he was talkative in class and came across as calm and rational. our teacher told us not to make assumptions and only listen to the information we're given. we'll have normal classes tomorrow so i hope we'll be able to hear more about that. most importantly of all, i hope he's okay and that he's able to pull through. someone in my family (i don't want to be too specific but it isn't anyone in my closest family if that makes sense) had drug issues and has been in a coma since almost a year back. he's not able to do anything. he doesn't react to anything, he isn't able to communicate or move. as much as it pains me to say this, he is pretty much just a vegetable. since we didn't get more information about John i have no idea how serious it is. it would mean a lot if you could pray for his recovery. even though he's just a stranger to me, i still care and wish him full recovery.
