OMG I just saw this today. Thats horrific. not that being older would be better but its so young too. A 14 year old did that at my school. She jumped off the top of one of the buildings in the middle of the night. I sometimes think that she would be nearly 30 now. Her parents didn't thinkthey abandoned her cause they sent her across the world to one of the best schools (she was from Japan) but to be shipped off to the other side of the world when you dont speak the language well and when you're so young and by yourself and can't fit into the school or even the country its kind of like the same thing. They blamed the school saying she was so smart but I think they were just really stupid. She wasn't related to me or a friend of mine so its not the same like that but even not really knowing them it was horrible, I remember the next day and everyone from that house having to bunk up in other houses cause it was an aweful scene and some girls saying they heard something in the night. It must be so much more awful when its someone closer to you. I'll pray that those who were her friends are coping.
