Today was a difficult one for ourschool family, but it was inspiring to see our students and staff come together to support each other. Star XYZ was a special member of the school community who touched the lives of everyone he met and will be deeply missed. Please join us in keeping his family close in thought and prayer.
We began our day with a moment of silence, and each of our first block teachers gave students an opportunity to process their feelings and reactions. Counselors from throughout the district worked in the auditorium with students who needed additional support. We’ll continue to be watchful of our students in the days ahead and will provide assistance as long as it is needed.
A sudden and traumatic death like Star’s brings many feelings to the surface and we want to assure you that we are here to support all of our students, regardless of why they are hurting. As we grieve the loss of our classmate, student and friend, we are reminded of others taken from us too soon.
Please talk with your teen at home and do not be afraid to share your feelings with them as you offer reassurance and comfort. Some young people, especially those who have recently experienced a traumatic life event, may be especially upset and have lots of feelings to talk about. These reactions are completely normal and usually will not last long.
It is important to look for changes in behavior that may signal that your son or daughter needs additional support. Experts recommend watching your child for the following warning signs: excessive fear of darkness, separation, or being alone; clinging to parents; fear of strangers; worry; increase in immature behaviors; not wanting to go to school; changes in eating or sleeping patterns; increase in either aggressive behavior or shyness; persistent nightmares; headaches or other physical complaints.
If you feel your child is having any of these or other problems, please talk with his or her counselor or pediatrician so we can work together to help our students. Thank you for the privilege of working with your family and for your support and encouragement. As always, please don’t hesitate to call me at 381-3546 with questions or concerns.
今天对于我们学校的家庭来说是一个艰难的一年，但是看到我们的学生和工作人员聚在一起支持是令人鼓舞的。星星XYZ是学校社区的特别成员，他触动了他遇到的每个人的生命，并将深受其害。请与我们一起保持家人的思想和祷告。
我们开始了沉默的一天，我们每一个第一批教师都给学生一个机会来处理他们的感受和反应。来自全区各地的辅导员在礼堂里与需要额外支持的学生一起工作。在未来的日子里，我们会继续关注学生，只要有需要，我们会提供协助。
像星星这样的突然和创伤性的死亡给表面带来许多感觉，我们想向你保证，我们在这里支持我们所有的学生，不管他们为什么受伤。当我们对同学，学生和朋友的损失感到悲伤时，我们也提醒我们其他人从我们那里过来。
请在家里和你的青少年谈话，不要害怕与他们分享你的感受，因为你提供安心和舒适。一些年轻人，特别是那些最近经历过创伤性生活的年轻人，可能会特别不高兴，有很多的感受。这些反应是完全正常的，通常不会持续很长时间。
寻找行为变化很重要，这可能表明您的儿子或女儿需要额外的支持。专家建议您的孩子观看以下警告标志：过度恐惧黑暗，分离或孤独;紧贴父母;害怕陌生人;担心;不成熟行为增加;不想上学;饮食或睡眠模式的变化;增加侵略行为或害羞;持续恶梦;头痛或其他身体不适。
如果您觉得您的小孩有任何这些或其他问题，请与他或她的辅导员或儿科医生谈话，以便我们能够一起协助我们的学生。感谢您与家人一起工作，并得到您的支持和鼓励。一如往常，请随时致电381-3546致电我的问题或疑虑。

化名，但整个事件是真实的
每年有好几千中学生自杀的。
全国知名了。
二娃是学校Source of Strength成员之一。前两周有一同学有Attempt，警察也来了。二娃跟他说想谈心任何时间都可以
初中时这个同学活泼开朗，才一年就判若两人。
到了高中，除了学习压力，还有毒品，男女关系不少操心事。 我们这儿不时来几个 BOMB threat 写在 restroom 墙上, 美国家长居然习以为常，最多说stupid。这个抓住就送青少劳教所。
不值得推荐
说是适合十七岁以上的人看
不明白为啥原著会那么火
学业其实还好，很多压力来自家长。
to warn parents about the risks of teenage suicide。 有一些teenage已经有看的，家长要引起注意。我肯定不让家里的孩子看的。
很过分
湾区还有几个亚裔过80%， 好像都没出事，或者很少出事。
还有几个我认识的中韩小孩抑郁退学，成绩最好的那个为躲避压力弃两个藤校而选了排名将近30的学校。
