Jane has also been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Asperger’s syndrome, and borderline personality disorder, the lawsuit states.

Oh look, an easily-manipulated teenage headcase is trans? What a shocker...

And the school never considered or bothered to find about her past trauma from her mom dying or her conditions.

Of course not. Schools never care about a kid's mental condition, unless the kid in question is unmistakably in the "impending shooter" category, which typically means white male social outcast. It's a completely ass-backwards system where they'll happily seek out and amplify even a tiny hint of "queer identity" in one kid, but ignore the obvious suffering from that one at the rearmost corner all alone. Oh, and let's not forget the contradiction of how parents mustn't know about the queer thing, can't let them get involved, but also why aren't parents doing more to get involved in their kids' school life instead of expecting the schools to do the parenting?!?

The education system often fails to address the mental health needs of students, particularly those who are not exhibiting明显的迹象of distress. This can lead to a situation where students who are struggling with mental health issues are ignored or even punished, while those who are more vocal about their struggles may receive excessive attention. This can create a hostile and unsupportive environment for all students, and it can make it difficult for students to get the help they need.
