While attending high school at the Deerfield Academy, she left for treatment for depression. In addition, she returned her senior year and wrote an op-ed for the school’s newspaper.

According to Yahoo, it read, “I didn’t care that students thought that I had left because of an eating disorder, or that I had been bullied, but it concerned me that my teachers and advisors didn’t know what I had been going through. Even though it was helpful for me to discuss my struggles with all of those important people in my life, it was still uncomfortable, and it was hard for me to take the initiative.”

In conclusion, our thoughts are prayers are with the Kennedy and Hill families. This is such sad news. RIP Saoirse.
