Young teens at a pricey private school on New York City's Upper West Side were asked to write first-person suicide notes a macabre assignment that some of their parents have blasted as "inappropriate."
The English-class homework at York Prep required students as young as 14 to write goodbye missives from the perspective of a character who offs herself in The Secret Life of Bees, a best-selling book and film.
The task included justifying why they had committed suicide, a grim process that rattled a few nerves.

I understand that suicide has became an epidemic. I do not think this is a way of going about bringing awareness. :banghead:
