college=suicide??
Cornell University has experienced a wave of suicides within their students and two suicides within the past two semesters. it was stated that "In February, a freshman jumped off a bridge over one of the area's well-known gorges. Last Thursday, the body of a sophomore engineering major was found under similar circumstances. Police are also searching for a body in another suspected suicide witnessed last Friday." This is a scary thought for all students attending Cornell for perhaps this "public health crisis" is getting a little out of hand. What should they do to see a decline in student suicides one may ask? I have no idea, you usually do not not hear of this many suicides in one school...and students jumping off bridges as a matter of fact. This tells me the school needs to step in offering "mental heath" classes in ways to check the mental stability of their students. This is a crazy world but if we all jump in, we could all try to change suicide rates by offering life counseling.
