One more thing on suicide. We have found out that several times, Caleb mentioned to a friend that he had "once thought about" suicide, but he was "better now". But nobody said anything. Our students have had drilled into them over the last ten years that if they hear the word "gun" or see one, they need to immediately run to an adult and tell them. It should be the same for the word "suicide". Even if the person says they no longer feel that way, they mentioned it for a reason. Betray your friend's trust and let an adult know. You may save their life or be able to get them help that they didn't even realize was out there.
