The lack of morality teaching and the utter hopelessness taught by many teachers/professors leaves the modern student with nothing much to live for. If they are churched as children the probability drops, especially if they see more than themselves in this world.
The fool has said there is no God. Without one what is there to live for, behave for, strive for?

Was there an investigation as to if the teens were on psych drugs? The number one cause of teen suicide?

i can think of a million things to live for, actually i could see the church causing suicides more than preventing them...calling children sinners, and abominations and whatnot, when they do not adhere to your antiquated morality.

Teenage stress my arse. If all this is stress related then we have both dumbed down the school system and the intestinal fortitude for which anyone can scream mommy or daddy and the nurse sends them home because the are not willing to take on the responsibility and the liability to have these kids buck up and be responsile young adults.
The suicide is bad, but why point fingers and blame something or someone. It doesn't make sense that you wouldn't hold the killer,(suicide or other) responsible. Move on, we cannot help these people any more, or any less.

Daily Horoscope for November 30

Sagittarius

As much as the robust Archer would like to indulge, today you must mind your health. If you go out to celebrate the holidays, go easy on the rich foods and spirits. Too much alcohol and you might find yourself saying the absolute wrong thing to the right person, thus blowing what could be a perfectly lovely evening. Strive for moderation.
