The Cause Of Suicide In The United States

It was a rainy day and it smelt like fresh cut grass that has been watered. It was just a normal day at East Town Middle School, the birds chirping and the kids laughing and playing. Then there was a boy named Ryan, he is 13 years old and has a speech problem and slow learning abilities, so he was in a special ed class from pre-k to 4th grade. He fastly discovered quickly that he was still not academically strong, and as he headed into middle school it bothered him deeply.
