And by the way, my son was another child who was expressing suicide thoughts and making suicide gestures because of school. By the time he was in kindergarten (school for 4 and 5 year olds), he was coming home from school and saying, "I hate my life. I wish I was dead". By the time he was 7, I found him one day with a rope wrapped around his neck and he was pulling tight on it and saying he wanted to kill himself. He never did that again after I got him out of the schools that were abusing him so badly.
