Sweeping it Under the Rug

Last week, the day after our loss anniversary, a teenager at my daughter's school took his life. But there has been no talk about it, the school isn't providing support/counseling for the students, many of whom, like my daughter, are struggling with this loss. It is being ignored as if it didn't happen. I understand one suicide in this age group can lead to more, but the students all know, they are discussing it. There has to be a solution that will support survivors without glorifying suicide. I feel angry as my daughter cries as she talks about all who are struggling but not getting help. Are they right to keep it quiet? It just feels so wrong.
