A lot of students joke about wanting to die as a form of exaggeration. To point out how much they hate a class or school overall. But are they really jokes? Or is there a deeper meaning behind it? Sometimes I’m afraid someone is not in fact joking and is actually asking for help but isn’t being heard. I’m afraid their cries for help are going unnoticed, blending in with the crowd, so obviously there and out in the open but still not getting the recognition/validation it needs.
