My daughter Caroline (17) has a friend who committed suicide this week. This is so horrible. I feel so sad for the family and all of the friends. I don't know if you remember, but her close girlfriend was killed in a car accident in September. This is two friends/peers in 7 months.
Apparently he told two of his friends he was going to kill himself and they did not believe him. He left a note for his parents and his girlfriend. The whole school is in shock. I just want to protect her from bad things, but I know I can't. I read once that the two most important things we can give our children are "strong roots and wings", it is so hard watching them experience the sad but real parts of life. I sometimes want to clip the wings and keep them close!!
