One test at the end of the year is not important compared to the lives lost and the trauma of the event. People died today, we need more time than 3 days to be able to step onto a campus where students, people we knew died. If anything please let finals be optional for those that need the grade boost.

I lost my brother to a drug overdose, and he got a chair at graduation. If someone battling an addiction disease can get one, a girl who lost a battle with depression should as well.

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.
