<p>My condolences go to this girl’s family. Depression is a real thing…especially with teens. Listen to your peers
and tell someone if they share thoughts of hurting themselves or others. What someone portrays on the outside
doesn’t always reveal what is going on inside. We should count our blessings and tell those around us we care.
Admissions and college dreams play second fiddle to good health and sharing our lives with our loved ones.</p>

<p>I meant, “I was going to say the same thing” in my post above, sorry!</p>
<p>Edit: whatever.</p>
<p>She was ill, CSIHSIS. You may believe she was just “stressed out”, but that was one ONE of the MANY contributing factors. Educate yourself on mental illness.</p>
<p>It doesn’t sound insensitive. It sounds ignorant.</p>
