The Verve Pipe - The Freshman

Released in 1996 (15 years ago... now I feel old) by The Verve Pipe, The Freshman is a take of a young couple that gets pregnant, has an abortion and then feels guilt stricken to the point that she kills herself with an overdose. The suicide never actually happened but the story of the abortion is based on real events in the artist's life. In the end the song is basically saying "we were all kids (freshman) at one time in our lives, we all make mistakes, let it go."
