Our school is still a pretty depressing place to be. No one talks except to whisper, no one smiles, people just walk directly to their classes without looking up. Winter Carnival has been postponed indefinately. We laugh, occaisionally, but it feels like we’re just fooling ourselves.
All I can think of is why. I didn’t know him, but from what I’ve heard, he had a really nice life. He had tons of friends. He had just gotten back together with his girlfriend. He was a member of the Hockey team that had gone to Ontario for some championship before exams. He had depression, but from what I’ve heard, he was well on the way to recovery.
I hope that it won’t trigger another suicide. If that happens, I think the entire school might break down. I’ve heard that there were once seven suicides in a year at our school, but that was a really long time ago. I wish that things would get back to normal before anyone else gets hurt.
