[quote=Anonymous]First of all, they don't track suicide by IQ and there is no indication that gifted kids are more at risk. Suicide is a problem for all teens and young people (all age groups, actually.) Second, while a cluster of suicides is terribly troubling, its important to note that suicide is contagious, especially in small communities like a school or college, so that one suicide often begets another. I'm not sure its a great metric for mental health issues at a particular college. There are a lot of important issues around mental health at colleges and they vary widely in how they manage these issues. But if your DC is in high school and is already showing some vulnerability, it is far, far better to aggressively address those issues now. In several situations of which I'm aware, there was a crisis in college but the warning signs at been there much earlier.[/quote]
