I believe it is possible for schools to stop teen suicide. For one thing if you read it in their writing or see it in class it should be reported no matter what. That should be the main concern of teachers. It said in the article that teen"s develop mental health issues related to their highschool experience and that teen suicide is the second highest cause of death by teens first is car accidents. I don't understand why this doesn't concern the teachers or the staff of highschools?
They said in the article that the teachers weren't trained well enough to see the signs. I think we should train them then! look at the statistics we see teen suicide is a problem in Canada and it is cause by highschools. Schools can fix this problem by making the teachers more aware of what students are going through or in order to be a teacher have the right personality and attitude in order to lift up a school not bring it down.
“We don’t want teachers to have to become diagnosticians,” agreed Van Buskirk, the Peel board’s chief social worker. “That’s not fair or appropriate for them. They have their plates full.”
Is that a serious statement? I don't think teachers would mind learning the trick of the trade in order to save kids lives. That is ridiculous. I am rattled for the first time ever.
