I was a brand new Teacher in my 6th week of teaching Computer Science to high school Seniors when one of the brightest kids took their own life. The different ways that tragedy rippled and echoed through the class for the rest of the year was unpredictable, disruptive, and interesting. I look forward to reading your book to gain vocabulary around, and strategies for trying to prevent teen suicide.
Thank you James for commenting and sharing your story. It had to be so hard for you. The other students, your own pain etc.
