Is it common for people who have been to boarding school to have suicidal ideation? 

And how many people have actually attempted suicide or taken their own life while at boarding school? 

Today I share stories from Richard Branson's autobiography Losing My Virginity, Sir Ranulph Fiennes' Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know and Roald Dahl' biography. 

I also share some quotes from Alex Renton and his book, Stiff Upper Lip and Pete Walker's book, Complex PTSD. 

If you are feeling suicidal then please do contact Samaritans in the UK: https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/ 
Or in the US: https://afsp.org/im-having-thoughts-of-suicide/ 

And for my interview with Charles Spencer: https://youtu.be/NJBGrRdgKm8?si=tXZP5K7rhat1THu3 

And for episode #91 with a paediatrician who I went to boarding school with: https://youtu.be/Aa8eicN-G0A?si=x4qbGcVmvcJI-wp6 

Take care,
