Should schools have a moment of silence when a student commits suicide?

Harper

This past weekend a boy who attended the high school which I am a senior at committed suicide. Word has spread about the school, but I don't believe everyone is aware. In the library there are people there to provide support for the students, to help us cope. Also, some of the teachers took time to have a somber conversation with us about the boy and suicide. However, I feel as though we should have had a moment of silence for him before morning announcements this morning as a way to respect and mourn him. What do you think? Would a moment of silence for the recently passed student have been good, or is it better that we didn't, as to not further upset the students?
