A friend’s ten-year-old cousin committed suicide two days ago.
Ten. It’s hard to wrap my head around even the idea of that. Ten is a fifth grader. Ten is four-feet tall. Ten is pre-puberty and also pre-almost everything else in life.
Ten is an unthinkable age to be suicidal.
The police are investigating whether or not she was bullied at school. The school has released a statement indicating that the possibility of bullying is a rumor that hasn’t been proven.
