Freshman commits suicide.
Teachers are asked to read aloud official announcement that he has "died at home" over the weekend.
Teachers are asked not to condone rumors and gossip during times like this.
Students report that it was due to bullying.
Teacher downplays rumor but allows discussion to continue.
Students say that they perceive that teachers, staff and admin do nothing about bullying.
No official communication regarding bullying issue. Other children continue to get bullied each day.
Cyberbullying workshops are arranged and scheduled.
Nobody ever admits that the workshops have anything to do with the recent suicide.

If we address the issue of bullying, we do so based on a variety of assumptions instead of being able to provide whatever real information may be available.
Meanwhile, kid is dead. A kid described by my students as "warm," "kind," and "just a baby."
