Suicide comes from many things. Bullying is only one of them.

I was bullied in middle and high school. Only in mine, understand. I had no problem making friends and even dating in, say, Haverford.

But my (two) suicide episodes were not related to that at all. Nor to depression, according to the therapist who talked me down and the psychiatrist who diagnosed the underlying problem, although the therapist had a pretty good idea from talking to me. It just wasn't her specialty and she wanted to be certain.

I dealt with my bullies with horribly mean practical jokes.
