Tragic, my prayers go out to all.


Please change the wording here. 12 years old is not a teenager.


I am in tears this morning…suicide is tragic and when it is a child it is beyond comprehension. I was touched by suicide 5 times last year. I know the absolute grief anger, and confusion that engulfs those close to the victim.


A 12 year old?! I think that may be the youngest suicide I have ever read about. Not even a teen. still a child. What a shame.
