I did not get a chance to check back on that other thread that you mentioned. I am so sorry that your area has experienced student suicide. I do not have any experiences to compare that to or share with you. But, I can tell you, sometimes, I worry about the children ( in the type of area you allude to ) who might be caught in a dicey situation, in that one parent might be gifted (and, somehow, that led the family to an area where academics are more emphasized), yet the other biological parent is not gifted. If the child takes after the latter, then the family might not understand that this particular child cannot keep up with the legacy of the gifted parent; that could feel / be devastating. Imagine having every advantage, but the academics do not come easily to the student; that could make the child feel awful. Hopefully, everyone's input all together will help somehow. All the best.
