During the weekend, word began to spread that another Parkland teenager had also died in what authorities called an “apparent suicide.” The student’s name and age were not released, and authorities said the death was under investigation. The protest was led by student activists from Parkland, including senior Aalayah Eastmond, who spoke at the Washington march. She said there aren’t enough resources for students across the country, but there’s also a shortfall in her own school, too. “I think we need to talk about it, I think we need to be educated more about it,” she said. More resources probably would help, but also the resources that knew them [are] leaving.”To reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, call 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
