Hmmm I wonder how accurate this is. It’s very hard to believe that 75% of Americans read below a 6th grade level. Not sure if that’s a testament to how good 6th graders read or not. Or is that 54% inclusive of those that are also illiterate?

As a parent this is extremely disturbing. Not only for the topic but that the child felt the need to take her own life instead of asking for help.

On the other side I am very involved with my children and ask them constantly how school is going. If they are having issues they always tell me so I can help. My concern is the daughter did not feel like her parents would help which is why she did not tell them. She would rather take her life. These parents need to take a hard look at why their daughter didn’t want to come to them either this. My heart goes out to the family.
