I expect you to be kind and considerate with your postsHow and when did you come to know of Ms. Todd? What are your thoughts on the circumstances she experienced in high school? Can you draw any parallels, if you are willing to share? Do some research: what is the latest news in the case against Ms. Todd’s abuser? What are the current suicide rates in Canada for young adults and how do these vary by factors like Indigenous and LGBTQ status? What is being done to address suicide and mental health concerns in general in Canada? (These are suggestions to stimulate discussion, each student does not need to touch on all of these points. Choose one or two to elaborate on in your posting. Other ideas are welcome provided they are thoughtful and well informed).
