A lot of this is caused by PALY and the parents at PALY. As a former paly student, I can attest that paly is insanely difficult. Not only are the classes like 1.5 or 2 times as hard as normal high schools, it is also expected that you get straight As instead of Bs and Cs (like normal schools). This is because parents pushed for harder classes, and maybe even because the school board wants to make more money by having higher scores. Also, parents don’t step up because they think “oh my child would never do this” “oh they’d tell me” “oh I could fix their mental health”. No. Maybe some, but not all. For every kid that kills themself, 50 more are struggling with depression, and 200 more are stressed and overwhelmed. Sure, paly students generally go on to have better careers than the average student, but what about the sacrifices? What about the people who burnout in HS or college? What about the many who don’t even care about the advanced courses they do? I’m sure every paly student reading this knows friends whose parents made them take advanced courses that they hate. I wonder how many go on to struggle with mental health for their whole life (however short it may end up being). And you know what’s sad? The school doesn’t even care. It’s their policy to mention it once, because it’s too obvious to hide, then never speak of it again. Paly ASB isn’t even allowed to hold memorials because the idea is to make people “forget about it”. The school thinks that by ignoring the dead student’s life and pain, they prevent suicides, but all they do is tell students how little a student’s life is worth. If a literal child dies, their life is worth a single message to all of the students (which chatGPT said was polished with AI) and that’s it. You know who didn’t “forget” about Ash’s suicide? The person who just killed herself. It was her number one reason to do it. Maybe if the school had respected Ash’s death, she could have found more peace with it. Maybe if she was able to get actual school therapy she wouldn’t have killed herself. Maybe if the meager “mental help” the school offers didn’t have a reputation for notifying parents, she would have sought help. Maybe if she had actual free time (a rare commodity for a paly student) she could have had time for school therapy, or time to mentally recuperate. Maybe if the school had even bothered to change a single thing after Ash’s death, Summer would still be here. But she’s not. And she will never come back.
Brooke supported: Petition for Active Suicide Prevention at PAUSDMy family and I came to the USA as Jewish refugees.We love our country and don't want to be afraid of being Jews.The agenda of Zohran Mamdani contains the threat to our existence and safety.
Maria supported: Remove Zohran Mamdani from Mayoral Race for Endorsing Violent ExtremismI am a 26 year-old woman on the autism spectrum with a whole host of other mental issues. It's a fight to live a good quality of life when you're like us, and Mikayla, she didn't lose that fight. The opposition played dirty in such a way that cost Mikayla her life. I hope from her tragic death can spring activism and awareness and support for others like Michaela and myself who struggle to see the light amidst all the darkness that is this world. Rest in eternal peace and love Mikayla. May your family find solace and beauty that you brought to the world through your rescue.
Emily supported: Shut Down r/SaveAFoxSnark (and others)Those people bullied her to death. That is absolutely unacceptable. I almost lost someone I love very dearly to suicide and I believe that we must do everything we can to stop bullying.
Opshori supported: Shut Down r/SaveAFoxSnark (and others)I don’t want my future kids or my younger siblings being taught that this is ok for someone to be doing anywhere in public.
Gabi supported: Ban Lilly Tino from Disney WorldAfter watching Lilly Toni’s videos I do NOT feel comfortable bringing my children to the park. It is my absolute dream to bring my kids there to share the magical experience I had as a kid, but I do not feel safe knowing my young children could be exposed to such vulgar speech and be photographed IN THE BATHROOM. Disney is about magic and play pretend, not explaining human anatomy and surgeries. Absolutely not acceptable for young ears, and not acceptable for a children’s park.
Samantha supported: Ban Lilly Tino from Disney WorldGrowing up in California, Disney was my childhood. We went minimum once a week and vacationed to DisneyWorld multiple times. That is a tradition I want to share with my children. However, I fear that Disney is creating a space where agendas are being pushed and perceived by young minds. People are seeing Lilly Tino go viral for these inappropriate subjects at Disney, and they’re going to follow shortly behind. It’s only going to get worse and Disney is not going to be kid friendly
