Trigger warning.
A freshman jumped off the dorm and killed themselves last night at a college where a friends child attends. The loss of a student life is devastating of course. Unimaginable to the parents. I cant imagine the emotional pain. Its heart wrenching. For the college, the increased liability, panic, counseling, etc, etc, etc that this is causing makes me understand why they may flag any essays that discuss mental health and suicidal thoughts previously with an automatic deny. Students must be their first priority. Just because you write about how okay now you are, they may not be willing to risk it because they care about you.
