Rick Murray from Degrassi: the Next Generation

Rick Murray from the TV show Degrassi: the Next Generation, played beautifully by Ephraim Ellis, is a really cool guy, if you're a nice girl and you like being bossed around or told what to do.

Here's a pic of Ephraim Ellis (who portrayed him on Degrassi).


Of course, thankfully unlike his character, Ephraim is a nice guy and he would never do the things his character did in real life (such as abuse a girl or bring a gun to school).

However, Rick had a dark side (as do all of us). To make a long story short, when he brought a gun to school (as a result of being bullied so much that he couldn't take it any more), he shot Jimmy Brooks, who he thought was responsible for the yellow paint and feathers prank (when it turned out later that he wasn't), and then was going to shoot Emma. According to Rick:

(to Emma): You flirted with me. I thought you liked me. But that was something else.

Jimmy was paralyzed from the waist down. In the struggle for the gun, Rick, sadly, was killed.

He was 16 years old.

You were an example to us all of what an abusive relationship is like. You will be missed.
