Please talk to your kids about suicide

<p>My gut says “don’t name” the school. By identifying the school, we, as parents, can exhale and think that the problem is somewhere else. I have no idea where these kid(s?) went to school, but I know many schools are just now finishing up exams, and yes, the pressure on the kids can be intense. At every school.</p>

<p>Also, if I knew of a suicide at a school, I would not mention it. I think it does a disservice to the school because we, as outsiders, will really never fully know what drove a child to suicide. And for many parents, (and kids) reading these boards, a good school could be taken off a list of potential choices.</p>
