4 - thanks for sharing. My heart goes out to your daughter. My best advice would be to keep doing what you are doing -- keeping the lines of communication open with your daughter. Several decades ago, I took suicide prevention training, and I volunteered for one year on a distress line. I believe what I learned back then still rings true today. . . the person who commits suicide is in so much pain that all they can think about is ending that pain. It breaks my heart that 10 to 12 year olds are in that much pain so early in their lives. That is so awesome that your daughter and her friends are planning an anonymous peer support group, and I hope they get the support needed from the principal, guidance counsellor, and school board. Take care.
