When a student takes his own life
On Nov. 2 a student in my class died from suicide. Three staff members who work at my school told us about what happened and told us the information they knew. But that was it.
It’s disgraceful that no action was taken for remembrance or anything paying respects. I am antagonized by my school for not taking further action with this, because this is attached to everyone’s mind and will never go away.
What if there are students walking around my school or your school who are influenced from this?
Awareness and communication are the most effective ways of preventing one suicide leading to another. By stopping one death, you can end a chain of deaths.
