An ugly side of increasing academic competition and rising standards is increasing stress on students striving to compete. God bless Ms. Walcott and her family.
Who knows the circumstances but there was a news report in Denver this week that more people per year in CO die of suicide than from murders and car wrecks combined. No idea if this is unique to CO but that would seem like a large # of suicides. Also, I have no idea what the trends are, but I can imagine there being a lot more pressure and stress on college students today than there was even in the mid-to-late 90s due to social media. When I made a mistake, it was usually known by me, maybe my parents and a few friends. E-mail changed that some but now FB, Myspace, etc. =s fewer truly private matters.a tad presumptuous...

Why do you think his was an ignorant statement? More than likely this will be the case.Completely ignorant statement. My thoughts and prayers with Hailey's family.
I looked at her Facebook. She's a typical TCU girl. Absolutely gorgeous. Looked so happy. It makes no sense. So so sad.

Would it make you feel better if he posted that she died from a heroin overdose? Before you say that is over the top check Plano. Southlake certainly fits in the same category.
That said, whatever the reason, this is tragic. Girl had everything going for her. This may be a societal problem, but chances are we will never know the truth.
