又一個自殺的高中生!上帝!請幫助我們!

(2009-06-03 14:54:05) 下一個

昨天晚上又一個十七歲的高中生跨進飛駛而來的火車的軌道中,選擇結束她年輕的生命!在一個月不到的時間,同樣的地方,同一所中學,我們生活在這個地區的孩子的父母們,還沒從傷痛中複員,又出現一狀相似的悲劇!

我的頭腦已不會思考!究竟是為什麽?一個是十七歲花季年華的少女,剛剛收到紐約大學的入學通知書,學校裏舞台上的明星學生,就這樣義無反顧步入永遠的黑暗之中!

上帝啊!請你幫助我們!是我們的社會出現問題,還是我們人類已到了如此不堪的地步!

Train victim, 17, identified as Gunn senior
Shock of second Gunn-student suicide within a month hits students, parents, teachers, officials

The 17-year-old girl who ended her life Tuesday night at a Caltrain crossing was identified today by friends as Sonya Raymakers, a senior at Gunn High School who had been accepted at New York University for next fall.

Shock spread through the Gunn and Palo Alto school community as word spread of the death when she stepped in front of a northbound train at 9:55 p.m. at the West Meadow Drive crossing.

The girl reportedly left a note.

Sonya was heavily involved in theater, working in costume-design, and for years had been involved in creative writing. She won first place in the Palo Alto Weekly's annual short-story contest for her tale "Nighthawk" when she was in the sixth grade at JLS Middle School.

The Oracle, Gunn's student newspaper, featured her in an article published March 16 about how she designed her own clothes and jewelry.

Her Facebook page lists nearly 370 friends.

Trains were halted in both directions for more than an hour until one was allowed through slowly, heading north on the southbound track, after 11 p.m. A southbound passenger train was allowed through at a moderate speed shortly before midnight, as a soft rain began to fall in large drops.

The crossing is where "JP" Blanchard, 17-year-old Gunn student, died in an apparent suicide May 5, a day after a 29-year-old woman, Heather Russell, sat down in front of a train some distance south.

"I am completely shocked and speechless," Philippe Rey, executive director of the Adolescent Counseling Service, which provides counseling for Palo Alto area students and young persons, said of Sonya's death.

Rey said he met briefly with Palo Alto school Superintendent Kevin Skelly today and "all either of us could do was stand there an look down at the ground -- we didn't know what to say."

清水如歌 回複 悄悄話 回複beautyinautumn的評論:

女兒上的中文學校就在Gunn裏,在禮堂邊上。今天是畢業日,看到畢業生們都穿著畢業服,而禮堂門口,我看到了Sonya的照片和朋友們送的鮮花,寄予的祝福,留言。我不知道這麽一個優秀的女孩為何走上這樣的不歸路,不然今天她應該也是驕傲的畢業生中的一員啊!心痛!
beautyinautumn 回複 悄悄話 回複清水如歌的評論:我也是無語、無助、還加上有點無望。
清水如歌 回複 悄悄話 Gunn 怎麽了啦?怎麽啦?我已經無語!

昨天看報導,又一個Gunn的學生周四晚上想要怎麽做,幸被母親阻止了。太可怕了。
