In her post, Ashley expressed frustration with the lack of acknowledgment from the school after Jasmyn’s passing.
She highlighted how students were discouraged from openly discussing their grief or honoring Jasmyn’s memory.
On the other hand, other aspects of student life, such as building sports facilities, received significant attention and resources.
Ashley questioned the community’s priorities, emphasizing the importance of addressing students’ mental health alongside their physical and athletic development.
The post also drew attention to the broader implications for students struggling with mental health challenges.
Ashley urged the community to step up, saying that silence and neutrality are not acceptable when young people are in pain.
She encouraged parents, teachers, and neighbors to speak out, provide support, and ensure that grieving students are not overlooked.
Her message emphasized that this issue extends beyond Jasmyn and affects current and future students who may face similar challenges.
Following the post, Ashley has received support from friends, family, and community members, with many sharing their condolences.
Many in the comment section have praised her courage for speaking out and have called on the school system to take action.
One in the comment section writes;
Sadly, denial of mental health needs is a problem in the community. I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss of Jasmyn. How devastating and the lack of acknowledging this by the school system does nothing but make it worse.
In the same post, another one writes;
My deepest condolences to you and your family, but my deepest im sorry goes to her. She does matter and so does her memory. Scream for her always, I know you will. They should be ashamed. I read about her not long ago and my heart broke at the silence. Be better “Greater” Jasper Schools.
As of now, the concerned authorities have not issued any statement on this, but Ashley continues to raise awareness and share her grief with the community.
She continues to honor Jasmyn’s memory and urges the Jasper Schools community to prioritize mental health, break the stigma, and stand up for the well-being of every student.
