Ania... so tragic. I know it is hard and earth shaking when it hits so close to home. I had a friend commit suicide when we were in high school. He, too, was a shy poet. He reached out to us in his own way by writing poems about it but none of us took it seriously. Then the guilt sets in with why didn't I do something, tell a teacher, something! But at that age you have this feeling of indestructible and nothing could harm you. We were just not mature enough to do the right thing and suffered the highest price for it.
But it sounds like the school is being proactive. And after such an incident parents need to really watch their children for the signs of depression and keep an open door for them to talk about it.
Your family and everyone else touched by this tragedy are in my prayers.
