Allan’s mother said she has come to terms with her son’s death, and that Christmas, which would have been Allan’s 15th birthday, wasn’t as difficult for her as others expected it would be. “It’s OK,” she said. “I’m fine. I’ve dealt with it.”Three months removed. No exaggeration: this woman is evil. Your son fucking killed himself 12 weeks ago because you made him live in shit and skip school to run the household and you're fine, you've dealt with it. You need to go. All the way away.

I am no expert on teen suicide, but one thing that seems unusual in this case is that the boy didn't seem to be unpopular, bullied, a loner, etc. He seemed to be well liked at school and he had activities and goals.While it can seem to make perfect sense, it's not only the unpopular, bullied, loner kids that fit the mold. Any factor can prove to be the tipping point with a fragile adolescent from a clearly hostile home life as in this case, to clinical depression, to even the pressure to succeed imparted by what we could call "good" parents. The scariest part of this particular illness is that it can be very hard to identify, especially when it's being hidden and suppressed--further emphasizing everyone's need for an institution where they can let their guard down and be mentored.
