Quotes[]

  • (To many students): "As the news spreads about Campbell, please let your friends know that there is a team of counselors here to help the school through this difficult time. There’s no right way to respond to a suicide. Some of you might feel sadness, grief, anger, guilt, others may be less affected. All of these emotions are completely normal, but no matter how you feel the best thing you can do is stay open. Talk to your parents, and your teachers, and your friends, and more importantly, listen. Listen, listen to what others have to say. Just know that you’re not alone."
