I attend a public school in Alabama and there was a student who has committed suicide after being bullied for being gay. Him and his friends had gone to the principal of the freshman academy and reported the bullying and suicidal thoughts and she didn’t do anything. The school doesn’t care about the students mental health, as the administrators think all of the students are just making it up or something, last year i was in the freshman principals office when she got a phone call about a student who was supposedly trying to commit suicide, she hung up the phone and told me “Why are all these teenagers pretending to be depressed? why do they want to commit suicide? they have nothing to be depressed about, they aren’t even in the real world yet”. The school only cares about their reputation and absolutely hates when something bad happens and the news finds out, for example, getting in a fight will give you 3 days of suspension, and recording the fight will get you expelled. Back to the recent events, the school faculty is telling us to not talk about the suicide, and they said they do not want to do any sort of memorial for him and the school is threatening to suspend anyone who contacts news outlets about it.
is the school allowed to suspend students for contacting news outlets? Will i get in trouble for talking about what the principal said to me?
Sorry for bad formatting i’m on mobile.
