I feel horrible. My uncle's fiance's daughter committed suicide yesterday. I feel terrible at school, and came close to crying at school. I am in eight grade, and kids are mean. This is the third teenage suicide in the past six months, the sixth or seventh in the past two years. Every time there are nasty rumors about the people that committed them, especially among the eighth grade. I almost cried buying clothes for my uncle today, and don't know what to do for anybody. She was stunningly gorgeous. How can I deal with the rumors, or even with the teachers talking about it? I don't have problems with crying, but I don't want to cry at school. Should I just ask the kids to stop talking about it around me? My best friend is there for me, but I don't know if I'll be able to hold it together when she's not there, and she's only in one of my classes.

She was only 17. I can't miss any school, I got really sick at the beginning of the year. I was holding it together ok, until I overheard my mom talking about how she did it with my grandma. I can't get the picture of her out of my head. I can't go to the funeral, my mom knows I'll fall apart.

I think it's pathetic that the teachers are joining in on gossip over someone who was very troubled and died in such a horrible way. I think that you should stay home from school for as long as you need to in order to begin the healing process. Meanwhile, let your mom or dad know what's going on in your school and have your parents speak to the principal about this nonsense going on there. Perhaps if the teachers weren't so un-caring, then maybe your cousin could've had one of the teacher's to talk to about suicidal thoughts and might still be alive today. I wish you the best no matter what you do.

I know how you feel. My grandma had been in the hospital and we thought she was doing better until she told my grandpa one night when we all were out of the room and about to leave that she didn't want to fight any more and she was going to give up. I didn't know until the next day after school. I was so upset and my mom made me go to school. I had only told one of my friends. Then during T/A one of my other friends asked me what was the matter and I broke down crying. I went to talk to my guidance counselor at school and sat there almost all day long. She helped me a lot. If you have a guidance counselor I would suggest that you go and talk to them about your problem and whats going on at school. Then if that doesn't work I would have your mom or dad or someone go to the principal. I know it's hard but you can get through it. Or you should see if your school has the three days that you can take off without a penalty if someone dies, my school does.

I would suggest that you skip school for a few days and make an appointment with a grief counsellor. Death is hard for adults to deal with; for teens, it can be almost unbearable. Please ask for some help.
