I didn't really know what section to post this in, so I hope it fits in here. I live in CA and if any of you watch the news you probably have heard about that shooting at the high school by the police officer. If not here is a short version: there was a 17-year-old sophomore who beat a police officer with a baseball bat. The officer fell to the ground and went for his gun and the clip fell out! So he went for the gun on his ancle, shot the teen one time and he died. While the officer was on the ground, the kid kept yelling, "Go ahead shoot me" The teen had messed with the bat to make it more of a weapon and during the investigation police found a 8 inch knife on the him. He was on anti depressants and has had trouble with the law before. I think the teen wanted to die and did it on purpose. The pd is getting a lot of beef about it, but I think the officer did the right thing. I think that teens on anti depressants should have to see their dr. more often or a pychologist since many times it can made you suicidal.

I think that every teen who gets put on anti-depressants should see a psychologist as well to make sure they dont start getting suicidal intentions. Parents should also be aware of this. There have been waaaay too many cases of teens going crazy because of anti-depressant side-effects.
