Wow, that is strange that so many people had so many things happen at age 9. It was the worst year of my life for sure. Here are some of the experiences.

Spent the night at a neighbors house, and woke up to the neighbor kid v*ing in the bed next to me. I ran home at 2 in the morning.

Early in the year my granfather died of lung cancer (wasnt a smoker) and it spread through his whole body in no time. We were very close.

Later in the year our house burned down in the middle of the night, and my brother died in the fire. I was started by an electrical outlet in his room, and whole house and everything in it was destroyed. I wasn't home at the time, I was at a friends house. That night changed my life forever.
