Taya killed herself when she was 14. After her death, Taya's parents discovered the journal in her room and brought it to the school, where they learned Taya's teacher had not informed the school counselor or administrators of what she had seen. They don't blame the teacher but will always wonder what if she had not ignored the signs of danger. (AP Photo/Jae C.

In it, she drew a disturbing portrait that showed self-harm and wrote about how much she hated her body and was hearing voices she wanted to silence. Her teacher read the assignment and wrote: "Taya, very thorough journal. I loved reading the entries. A+" Three months later in February 2016, Taya killed herself. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
