Doors were beginning to open for Madison Holleran. She racked up straight As
, ran track, and pushed her Northern Highlands Regional High School soccer
team to two New Jersey state championships. As she entered her junior year
in 2011, Lehigh University soccer coach Eric Lambinus became a regular at
her matches. Lambinus hoped to recruit Holleran as his center-midfielder,
the most physically taxing and important position in his system. “What
impressed me about Maddy,” he s... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 6276 | 4 MADISON HOLLERAN’S FIRST SEMESTER at Penn was tough, despite her 3.5 GPA.
She had a big, close social circle in high school, a support system built
from childhood. That chapter of Holleran’s life can still be seen online —

hotel bed.
Those bonds aren’t forged overnight at a new school. But Holleran was
probably a lot more popular in college than she believed. The new friends
she made remember her stopping, repeatedly, anyw... 阅读全帖 |

Hale’s death was a tragedy on many levels — a profound loss not o... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 6276 | 6 WE SPEAK SO LITTLE OF SUICIDE that the issue might seem esoteric. But
according to survey data by suicide experts, about 10 percent of the country
’s college students think about killing themselves (what health
professionals call “suicidal ideation”) at some point in their college
careers. Almost one percent make an attempt. If these numbers sound small,
do the math: Penn has about 24,000 students, meaning that roughly 2,400 of
them will suffer so profoundly from a sense of pain or depression th... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 6276 | 7 “I AM VERY LUCKY to be alive,” says Jack Park. He is tall, slim and well-
dressed, with dark eyes, a gentle demeanor and a soft speaking voice. A
junior at Penn, Park announced in February, through social media, that he
had attempted suicide in his dorm room — twice. Park has attained a kind of
celebrity in recent months, a fact about which he seems humble, even
bemused. “I am very pleased that you are interested in my story,” he says.
Alerting the world to his battle with mental illness was bra... 阅读全帖 |
