I never knew Justin personally, but we went to the same school and i was a grade above him. I used to be friends with his brother and hearing the news really changed how I see things. Even though I wasnt friends with Justin, i had seen him and heard about how he always made people laugh and always made people happy. Rest in peace Justin, you didnt deserve this.
