Well, I didn't know it was taking place at the time due to loud headphones but I was seconds away from getting hit by a train while crossing the tracks on my bike. I didn't realize it until after I had crossed and the train went zooming by.

My close friend got hit by a train while walking home on the tracks, also wearing headphones so he didn't hear the horn. Spent his 18th birthday in the hospital in a coma, bro went completely off the rails after that, no pun intended. 

Personally when i was 18 i got jumped by 25 dudes because one of them owed me a measly 20 euros & i dared to ask for it back. They tried to drag me into their car & in this shithole of a city that means they'd take you to the forest, fuck you up & leave you for dead. Ended up stabbing 2 of them, causing both of them nerve damage that lasted many years & even though it was self defense i got 4 years 6 months of probation bc 1 statement vs 25 false statements.
