re: More Title IX Madness: Male Student Commits Suicide over Ruling

First of all, anyone who has ever dealt with the suicide of a loved one understands that 1 thing is never the reason for the suicide. Suicide is never a rash rush to judgement decision that one thing could trigger, its a result of many things and the in ability of the victim to mentally cope with them.

It's sad in this country that we kid ourselves that we understand what mental disorders are and how they effect people. It's sad that in the US we still kid ourselves when events like this happen as say he/she was always so happy, and we never would have dreamed that they would do this. It's the defense mechanism of the survivors who are left feeling guilty that they didn't take the situation more serious or wrongfully thinking that they should have or could have done something to stop it.
