READ MORE: Suicide Note Practice: 'Smithereens' Book Studied At Schools: "A BOOK of gruesome short stories, which includes a task asking students to write two suicide notes, is being taught to 13-year-olds at some schools, prompting adolescent health experts to warn it could encourage vulnerable teens to self harm.
Tracey Young was horrified to learn her daughter's year 8 English class at Berwick Secondary College would be studying Smithereens, which includes short stories about suicide, the legal killing of homeless children and a man who murders his abusive brother-in-law.
''There is quite a lot of gross details of murders and one of the tasks after a story is for the kids to write practice suicide notes,'' Ms Young said."
