Quakertown and an outbreak of teen suicides in 1983
from CitizenCast · host CitizenCast
When two Bucks County teenagers leaped to their deaths from a quarry cliff in 1983, they left a quiet suburban community in shock. "That kind of thing doesn't happen here," people thought. Then it happened again. On a special episode, we talk with the author of the original 1984 Philadelphia magazine article Over the Edge. We talk about the details of this forty-year-old story, about mental health issues and how journalists can write about the topic responsibly.
