I told [Paola] that because she waited a long time before seeking help for her pain, she might die. She replied and said I want to die, and I asked her why she would poison herself, and she said in front of a group of students that she simply wanted to die. I told her that the school authorities should be informed so she could be taken to a health facility, and I immediately communicated with the Inspector General […] and the school's vice principal, immediately informing them where she was and explaining the problem. At that time, Ms. Luz de Azan made her pray and suggested she ask God for forgiveness for what she had done. Minutes later, the mother and the aunts appeared, crying and asking the student why she had made this decision. She did not answer quickly.
