The "trashed" story is about a white kid dressed in all black with no shoes on was found in a dumpster dead. He was facedown in a push up position in a dumpster. He was forty miles from his home. His neighborhood was described as a very good community that tourists liked to go to. His school was described as a very prestigious school for example "Its girls’ soccer team, for example, added another state championship to the five it had already won that decade, setting a state record for most wins in a season in the process. Academically, the school had come close to graduating 100 percent of its senior class, and colleges had lined up to recruit its students."
What did this kid die from? Heroin. I do not like the fact that the article specifies that it is a white kid because that is a large stereotype and just because he is from a clean neighborhood does not mean that he does not do drugs. Many celebrities do drugs most of them being white. http://radaronline.com/photos/hollywood-heroin-28-stars-who-used-the-drug-that-killed-cory-monteith/photo/552719/ - this is a site showing twenty eight famous people who did heroin. TWO of the twenty eight people were black. It just goes to show that anyone can make this mistake. I just do not like the fact that the article spends the first part talking so much about his home life, his school, and his race. It should not have to specify because many kinds of people do and die from heroin not just black "thugs".
