What I'd tell 18 year old me: Some of your friends are going to die tragic and avoidable deaths. Warn them.

That is very ominous. My condolences if you personally experienced such tragic circumstances in your personal life.

They wouldn't listen. This is the voice of experience talking.

I'm sorry if you've had to experience a loss like that, my condolences.. but I'd like to add that I don't think you should hold guilt to those events. Regrets, fine, but even though inaction can be irresponsibility it would've been someone else by their side instead of you-- they would have probably been in the same trouble.
