School forced to apologise after pupils told to write their own suicide notes

‘A school in London has come under fire after telling 60 teenage pupils to write their own suicide notes during an English class assignment.
The task was given as part of the year group’s studies on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, in which Lady Macbeth dies “by self and violent hands”.
Senior staff at Thomas Tallis School in Kidbrooke apologised for upsetting students, some of whom are said to have friends who have taken their own lives.
One mother said three of her daughter’s friends had killed themselves, and that her daughter was “very distressed” after being asked to write the note.
She said she complained to the school as soon as her daughter told her about the task.’
