Erin took her notebook and pencil case out. When the teacher came in she had hoped that she would announce to allow the class to have a study session. This was something that she had made a point of doing recently as she knew that the students were under pressure. Erin bit her lip and felt an empty feeling come over her stomach. This was sure to bring back memories for everyone. Jessica's face fell from a smile into a straight face. She took out her notebook and pen in silence. Great, this was going to bring a dampener on everyones days. The lights went dim as the teacher turned them slightly to show the power point on the white board in front of them. The room had changed in atmosphere from loud with rucus and chatter to dead silence. Not even a pen dropped to the floor. 

Mrs. Kennedy stood there with the clicker to change the slides. The first slide came up containing the subject of the lesson. "Now, this I know is a hard subject to swallow. We're going to look over the causes for suicide, the help you can get before you get in too deep and the feelings that you might experience before you get in too deep." She said as she paced across the room. "Now firstly we're going to think about things that we feel may cause someone to feel very depressed. I want you to take a minute and write down things that we feel may cause this." She told the students "I don't want you to discuss these things."

Everyone started writing things down. As Jessica wrote the things down she could feel a cold, shivery breeze come over her. She bit her lip as she wrote things down. No one else seemed to be experiencing the breeze so she didn't say anything. Erin kept her head down just trying to do what had been asked of her.
