tragedy

[Guest guest]

A mom on a mom's internet group posted this early today after she

learned that a classmate of her son died, makes me so sad, and I wonder

if the boy was on some sort of medication, too:

I found out later that night from a neighbor (our children have all the

same classes together this year) that the boy committed suicide. He put

a plastic bag over his head. Up until that point I had been curious and

wondered if it was an accident of some sort. But when I had checked

the papers and the internet for the boy's name, I couldn't find

anything. I guess he had been teased a lot. The neighbor said he was

on the autism spectrum and was extremely bright. He had been in the

special G/T program through elementary school and now in secondary

school.
