But what could have been done differently? It's not clear. Would a psychiatrist intervention helped? Antidepressants? Would it have seemed like an overreaction at the time? I don't know.

Nobody does & never will. You have to love, to talk, to care, to make clear, that everything can be said. Must be said. But depression has its own way of acting. You just can hope, that your beloveds are able to speak out & then try to find the right way to cope with it.

We teach them how to program robots but not how to be happy.

Jesus Christ that's horrible :*. Depression mixed with overweening intelligence, the ability and proclivity to sucessfully hide in plain sight, agony perfectly hidden. RIP tortured beautiful soul.

Such a sad read. RIP Alexandra, beautiful girl, gone too soon. So similar to the Maddie Hollern story. “What made Maddy run” should be on all parents reading lists.

Way too long a read but clearly there is immense pressure on kids to define themselves these days. Discovery is replaced with identity and conformity and time is compressed. I hate these stories and my heart goes out to her and her family.

Thank you for saying words that reflect my feelings after reading this story. It makes me so sad to hear that a child can hide their feelings so completely.

This brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. We’ve got to change the narrative for our children about how they measure self-worth.
