A suicide letter to the high school paper triggers a frantic search for the suicidal student - and some sober self-examination by his fellow students about why there were so unaware of how much pain he was in. "I'm on the outside looking in", Jeff wrote. "The pain is just too much. I can't compete. People expect too much of me." Jeff had reason to be depressed. A recent transfer from another school, he didn't feel he belonged in the new one. The girl he had been going out with - Nancy - dropped him for someone else. He blew his SAT tests. He was cut from the track team. He was behind in his studies and the articles he had written for the school paper had been brusquely rejected. His father was always to busy to talk. Yes Jeff had reason to be depressed. But how about Nancy and the track coach and the editor of the paper? Why were they so unaware, so insensitive? And how about his dad? Why didn't he take time to listen? A probing look at the causes and remedies of teenage suicide.
