Something's not right. Who died first?

> Summer Devi Mehta, 17, stepped into the path of a Caltrain on February 3, just 10 months before her classmate, Ash He, died the same way.

> Mehta struggled with depression as well as the death of her best friend He,...

Contradiction, those two statements can't both be true.

What are the percentages again? 46%?

Aside from the tranny thing, Palo Alto has long been a sort of national capital of teen suicides. The kids are mostly the offspring of either folks affiliated with Stanford University or top-tier tech workers. There’s a lot of brain power but also a lot of pressure or high expectations, as well as a long-known associations of high IQ with depression, anxiety and other mental maladies.

Because the Bay Area is a known bastion of intolerant hateful right wing extremist Christian hateful (or did I already say hateful?) transophobic poopyheads.

Good riddance to both of the freaks. Kudos to them for not going out with bangs to classmates.

They don’t just suicide due to mental illness anymore. They romanticize it, because they’re remembered and talked about, and get to post pretty pictures from tall places. And each one will inspire the next.

Tough situation for the pronoun police - if I refer to Ash He as “he” how do they know I’m not just calling him “He”?

When you exchange truth for lies, there are consequences.

Many times its family problems.

Good.

[TheGunny]

It’s just as well.

[Uncle Miltie]

Trannies be wack.

2 is a starting point. Next month maybe try for 10.

[norwaypinesavage]

I blame the staff and teachers at the school. They should be arrested for aiding and abetting suicides.

[DeplorableTrumpSupporter]

According to HIS<\B>family, Mehta struggled with depression as well as the death of HIS best friend He, who identified as non-binary.

Fixed it...

Their pronouns are now was/were.

Palo Alto High School has had a suicide problem for many, many years. I know it was making the news a lot around 15 years ago when my kiddos were in high school in the Bay Area.

Here’s an article about the previous cluster of suicides. There were a high number of them from the LGTBQ community back then too.
