[Margaret Pilkington]

She was an educated person........I'm sure it was a difficult transistion to make, but it is was what she chose to do....she must have thought that she could cope with the repercussions....and something that no-one has considered (or mentioned, if they have)...Lucy would have been on female hormonal supplements...these are known to affect mood....so they may have been to blame in some part.
I agree with what Neill has said to a great extent, but (being Devil's advocate) and trying to see it from the perspective of the School, the head teacher and the Education Authority....how many incidences will they have dealt with that come anywhere near close to this event........I think you can probably count it on the fingers of.......well maybe one finger. It is very easy to be wise after the event.........and we can all criticise, but until you have walked that road in bare feet, you know nothing much at all about it, to be qualified to criticise.
It is a very very sad outcome to what is a tragedy which will affect many people....and what makes it so much worse is that it seems that everyone thought highly of Lucy Meadows...but the question is, did they tell her?
