From the Boston Herald:
Saoirse Kennedy Hill, the daughter of Courtney Kennedy and Paul Michael Hill, was a Boston College student who chronicled her struggle with mental illness and a suicide attempt, and also rallied against gun violence.
Born in 1997, Kennedy Hill attended Deerfield Academy and graduated in 2016. She published a revealing article in the school’s newspaper, The Deerfield Scroll, titled, “Mental Illness at Deerfield.”
“My depression took root in the beginning of my middle school years and will be with me for the rest of my life. Although I was mostly a happy child, I suffered bouts of deep sadness that felt like a heavy boulder on my chest,” Kennedy Hill wrote.
If anyone has seen the movie “In the name of the Father” starring Daniel Day Lewis, her Father is one of the people portrayed.

“In a 2016 opinion piece for the Deerfield Scroll, the student newspaper for the Deerfield Academy boarding school, Hill wrote about her bouts with depression.
‘My depression took root in the beginning of my middle school years and will be with me for the rest of my life,’ she wrote. ‘Although I was mostly a happy child, I suffered bouts of deep sadness that felt like a heavy boulder on my chest. These bouts would come and go, but they did not outwardly affect me until I was a new sophomore at Deerfield.’
She added that ‘someone I knew and loved broke serious sexual boundaries with me’, leading her to pretend the incident hadn’t happened and attempting suicide.”
She shoulda rallied against dope. Drugs 'r' bad, m'kay?
