The location and method are a statement. Who she's talking to and what she's trying to say will always be a mystery except to those she intended. Tragic, still.

Like some kind of performance art? Awesome.

wtf

The 31-year-old teacher who hanged herself in a Placentia high school classroom earlier this week had previously taught a class unit on suicide and depression.
Jillian Jacobson, a photography teacher at El Dorado High School, experienced a similarly tragic death in her family before she took her own life. Her father, Richard Prisbrey, committed suicide at the age of 55 in 2011. He had gone missing, and was found in his car in the desert with a bullet wound to his head, according to AP. Jacobson openly talked about her father's death to her students, and even did a week-long session on depression. She encouraged students to get help if they ever felt sad, and told them that they should never resort to suicide.

Pretty messed that she'd do it at the school. Really makes you wonder what is going through someone's mind when they actually follow through with offing themselves.

I'm sure lot of people with depression or other life issues go through a phase where they think about it, but to actually do it is a whole other story.
