[quote=Anonymous]What struck after reading the piece was how lonely Tyler was. I don't think that should be overlooked as a contributing factor to his suicide. The roommate situation may have been the last straw, but if he had had friends and self-confidence the way the other Tyler did/had, I doubt things would have ended this way. One of the take home messages to me is to try, as best you can, to build your child's self-confidence so that 1) they aren't targeted by such attacks and 2) if they are, that they have the mental fortitude to withstand such treatment and rise above it. I recognize this is no easy feat and probably depends a lot on the child. Such a tragedy. And obviously, very easy to play Monday morning quarterback.[/quote]
