Done reading the fourth novel that deals with the sensitive topic on teen suicide. It is sad to note that all the teens in these books suffered pain and depression because of bullying. Depression is a mental disorder that when left undiagnosed and untreated, the teen tends to end his or her life which seemed like the only way to relieve it.
Meanwhile, their best friends or families were left raw and grieving, full of sadness and anger and regret and questions that will never be answered.
There's only one thing that bothered me: the guidance counsellors in all of the four books seemed not at all helpful, (before and at the time of death), even if they got hints that a teen has suicidal tendencies.
