That's so sad. I went through some depression when I was a teen too... it's probably worse when there are friends there to keep enabling the behaviour. A 14 year old girl from my hometown just hanged herself a few months ago. It was all planned in her diary too... she even got her parents to buy her a really expensive dress, and in her diary she had instructions to be buried in it. It just seems so sad... nobody even knew she had a problem. I'm so glad there are adults in your situation who are aware and able to step in and help.

That's so sad, Lindsey. I feel so sorry for her parents and what they're going through.

Janet, what you did was the right thing to do. The parents now know that they have a bigger problem on their hands than they realized and hopefully, they'll take action and nip this in the bud. It sounds like these two girls need to be separated. As a parent I would have wanted to know about this too. Who knows you may have saved their lives by your actions!!!

Janet, I think you did the right thing. I would have done the very same thing in your place. My daughter is in middle school and I am terrified every day that peer pressure will eventually get to her. She comes home with some of the craziest stories!I am just so thankful that she still feels like she can talk to me. This world that our kids are growing up in is very scary. It is nothing like it use to be and that alone is very sad.

I went and spoke with the assist. principal. There's just not a lot they can do right now. I can't write her up, because I didn't see or hear anything. The school can only record what happened for future reference. Makes me so sad and the Assist Principal too.

I will be calling the girls mother tonight to see how things are and if there is anything she'd like me to do.
