My great-grandmother survived her first husband saving their children and then sacrificing himself by being struck by lightning. Then she remarried and had five more children. She took them swimming and one of them drowned. Then the following year her only daughter was stabbed to death by her husband, leaving her to take care of her three grandchildren under 5 yrs old. Her second husband passed away and then she remarried her third husband at 86 years old. He died two years later in bed next to her. She made it to 93 years old and I never saw her ever not smiling. She was the most peaceful happiest and most content person I've ever known in my whole life.

We see this over and over again with child stars. The blame can’t all be shouldered by the parents, however. The entertainment industry exploits children until they’re broken and then tosses them away like toilet paper when they cease being highly lucrative. None of us know exactly what this girl was going through, but she was clearly hurting and couldn’t find some way - or someone to hear her - to express herself. A lot of people contributed to letting this little life down, and until we figure out how and why I don’t have much hope for preventing future child suicides.

Usually, if the cause of death isn't even hinted at, it's suicide. I know losing a loved one particularly in that way is extra devastating , but I really think people should be more open about it.

For fireworks like this girl, suicide is usually due to the pressure of success. Perfectionism combined with severe depression and low self esteem. A deadly combo.

How very sad... this young lady had a lot going for her. Posey had earned a spot on the high school's football cheerleading team for the upcoming season, and she was named to the Dean's List during the 2020-21 school year. After high school, the teen planned to study aviation in college and become a commercial pilot. So she didn't sound suicidal or reckless... condolences to her family and friends.

Since there is no spoken of cause of death, I can only assume it was suicide. Of course, I could be 100 percent wrong, but it is what seems to be the case for me.

I was quite uneducated on this situation and might have thought it could have been suicide because I knew nothing about this girl. I will try to be mindful of the things I say.
