In class writings, Cameron Carico said he wanted to “meet God.”
The teen, who had an upbeat personality, wrote that he often cried in his room. And though Cameron’s family knew of his depression, they had no idea how severe it was.
On Jan. 28, 2012, the 15-year-old Johnston High School freshman took his own life. The next day, another Johnston student did the same. There were a total of three suicides that year in the Des Moines suburb’s school district.
