It's terrible and troubling question how well do you know your children and for too many parents. The answer can have life or death consequences as the final entry and one young girl's diary made all too clear.

Jim Axelrod will report our cover story, 17-year-old high school junior with a golden future straight A's, loving parents and a bunch of friends to such a happy girl waited so full life, but there was another darker side to the story leaned over the embankment and looked out of my scar set up in us, but it did happen. Why these parents are sharing their heartbreak.

On Sunday morning. Whatever your political affiliation.

Julia Louis Dreyfus may be just about everyone's favorite vice president, our show rape is launching a new season.

Tracy Smith catches up with her still young woman gorgeous looking my neck in her final year on HBO show, Julia Louis Dreyfus had both the role of a lifetime and maybe the light of her life. Through tears and laughs. I don't know it's awful. Forget it waited another season behind-the-scenes that the later on Sunday morning our series now serving continues this morning with Martha Tyson's visit to America's test kitchen if America's test kitchen. This is a particular skill. It is believed if a recipe appears in one of its cookbooks know that it's been tested and pasted hundreds of times mission has been the same for 25 years, which is to empower home-cooked succeed in their own connections.

I had the Sunday morning we follow some carrots from peeler to page Lee Cowan gives us a radon best-selling author Delia Owens on this St. Patrick's Day will be hearing from the chorus of University College Dublin, and more all coming up when our Sunday morning podcast continues life cut short is a tragedy, especially for parents who lose a child and never saw it coming. Jim Axelrod has a cautionary tale from the final entry in a young girl's diary.

The home video he looks so familiar. So many sweet little girl singing and dancing her way to seniors which is recognized for achieving outside the home and say we cherish this with Alexandra to such a happy girl and so motivated and so will life but familiar wars just weeks after a family ski vacation file. This 17-year-old high school junior straight a student class officer in robotics with red tidied her room, walked to a highway overpass in Grafton Massachusetts leaned over the embankment and looked out the Dolores Alexandra's father was just hoping for but there was no stop all the cars driving by my side. I saw this, she is Jean and his wife Alicia found two journals in their daughter's belongings. Her final entry was written just hours before her death, listening to a playlist she entitled goodbye. Doesn't matter what was 200 pages of self-loathing and despair written in Alexandra's own hand in your burden. You are lazy, you're a failure. She was highly motivated to achieve sharp and confusing contrast with their happy strumming her way through adolescence and still talking to her parents conversation doesn't seem possible, but it's what reality because we didn't suicide at a 40 year high for young women Alexandra's age and now the second leading cause of death for 15 to 24-year-olds of both sexes is this disconnect that most haunts Dean and Alicia. Below are the girl who seemed to love it when her parents took her to a concert by the Scottish rock group 50 Cairo went home and wrote I hated I just wanted to be alone weeks.

She died on March 19, 2018. Alexander's robotic team one regionals and placing the international finals. We were so excited that made the Journal.

Instead, the next entry I need an excuse as to why I'm doing poorly.

She was able to obscure this feeling of despair.

This is hence thinking the journals were a complete shock to her English teacher Tim DeFreitas licked her candle power. What is that rank nine years worth of school kids number one and number two absolutely that smart head can find it in him she was having a hard time thinking motivated is chalked it up to teenage angst. It's always playing back.

How would you do things differently that the outcome is seen as the rest of course. How do I go forward and have kids sit right in front of me and I don't have a clue what's going on in their personal lives, but still trying to figure oh if there's something going on. I think we all carry a little guilt because we all thought we knew her so well. Her friends are also haunted Holly Turner and Zoe Mahoney were two of Alexandra's closest friends at Blackstone Valley technical high school. They were in engineering shop together distinctly okay hang out with my shop is someplace I can let my guard down a bit more. I shouldn't do this really am pretty sure they've noticed by now I been out of it for a while but I don't want to concern when you hear that make you all happy to know that was a safe place for her or something else like I feel so happy that she was able to let her guard down, but I feel like she should have had had a guard up at all like at any time. Did you notice she was in her words out of it.

I think we noticed that she was little more stress than usual with Junior everyone stress it's normal to stress. I have more kids who are cutting who are attempting suicide who are entering inpatient psychiatric facilities. Students who in the past would've been considered the sort of model student. Many of Scott White's 40 years as a guidance counselor were spent in affluent New Jersey communities full of high achieving kids in your view, is the spike were seeing in teen suicide related to this what you call an unhealthy culture.

Absolutely we have a culture that makes kids think that if they're not perfect their less than good Alexander's journal.

It begins with a checklist. What will get me into MIT elder Taurean first robotics Capt. hundred plus our service award model UN attend both, when there's something wrong with these goals. There's no balance on these goals. There's no check is to not every person can reach them.

Whether that child can reach them.

It's sort of unknown but if she did, there would be another call me on you know that and I know that for Alexandra. Nothing was good enough.

There was no pressure that you have to get into the school you have to do this.

She put pressure on herself. I don't want this notebook to end. I love it more than myself she wrote I need a place where there is no need for me to be perfect when Alexandra was drifting towards. As you read through the Journal is a place of unhealthy thinking, and I would probably wager that this type of mental diagnosis, which is why divorces are taking the clip pain public most key private headlining suicide prevention will visiting schools to share Alexandra's story. The sadness is evolving and now there's this thing called living so that the person sharing the story of their daughter may be another family will be spared this trauma on the possibility of a lot of other kids out there that are like her that are high achievers that are balancing a lot. That's what makes her very relatable and why.

Maybe it's affecting people and why they're listening because I have a child like this to the pain of what Alex wrote to her parents and her final entry hours before she took her life. Don't blame yourselves for not seeing warning signs is also what the Dolores family hopes to salvage from her death. Some meaning for others is so many emails last summer the morning after an interview was published. They found this note on their doorstep. But he said and Alexander's article truly changed my life knowing that I can about the mental health. It lets me know that she didn't die in vain's having such a huge impact feels really good when you marking this.

Patrick's day with the Carl scholars of University College Dublin. So is the perfect recipe for preparing a hard-boiled egg, now surveying an inside look at the show that answers all your culinary questions.

Our server is Martha Teicher a whole year before publication. America's test kitchen was fine tuning a contender for its newest cookbook at its headquarters in Boston. A recipe for roasted carrots and shallots. Day one.

Testing was about experimentation carry on day two of the test chefs made adjustments to try resting the current lack tried again turned out really nice. Their conclusion medium-size cowards any kind cooked in butter at 450°.

End of story. Not on any given day television show is likely being dozen or more recipes are being developed to test kitchen suite stylists tidy up the pictures for future magazine, one of America's test kitchen website. I take special yeah phone calls while you're does that look good enough to eat. What's left is headed for the take-home fridge. An irresistible perk for ATK's growing staff who now number almost 200 in 2017.

The expanding edible Empire moved this 55,000 square-foot space along Boston's waterfront so we have the €2000 or two magazines 15 books a year and then websites chief creative officer Jack Bishop like a lot of ATK's experts is a regular TV shows what makes great fish sauce for dispensing the often surprising results of 80 K research searing meet does not seal in juices. You do not need to sift flour, you should be steaming your eggs rather than boiling them about 5000 books. Bishop cofounded the company in 1993. Mission really has been the same for 25 years, which is to empower home-cooked succeed in their own connections. Once you know how to play game changed. It was and is the opposite of slick. America's test kitchen. The first host of ATK's TV shows wasn't some flashy celebrity chef spent most of our time eating bad food.

It was nerdy New Englander Christopher Kimball will dry this was not an obvious rent for the huge success ATK garlic bread is actually very real phenomenon, especially since the company didn't then and doesn't now accept any advertising. One problem handles get really hot over gas plant. In addition to the rest is the review contents very important part of mission, America's test kitchen that's difficult to do if you are also accepting advertisements from the same company is reviewing 500 Lisa McManus gets paid in this case skillets wow okay that in order to figure out which ones are tough enough to just jobs. Action always try to find out why did the winners win in the essay take our word for it. We want to prove why is executive tasting and testing editor. How's that for a title. Her rigor is part of the reason people trust ATK product recommendations that some of the worst gadgets of the year. Trust is the reason ATK's cooking shows reach more than 4 million viewers along the way. We have worked fast.

Our whole business is picking things the wrong way so that we can eventually find the right way. Bridget Lancaster and Julia Colin Davis to longtime test chefs host the TV shows now after you've lost your parsley back into a bundle. Take your knife and you just start shaving just like on the outside they come across like skilled stand there viewers that's so easy to truly eat up their advice.

Such a technique which brings us back to that carrot in Charlotte recipe we sent out the road tested by volunteer home-cooked and we don't get 80% of people to say yes I want to make that recipe again because back in our test kitchen and gets reworked about 90% of my kitchen equipment is based upon the recommendations Stephanie Patterson of Wooster Ohio is one of 17,000 volunteer home-cooked signed up on the website to test recipes. Currently right now there's four new ones to test how long nine years, Carol Chris home. Del New Jersey is another almost like there's too many recipes and too little time to say their groupies is an understatement on their Facebook group and on Instagram there's a lot of people so a second class person who has muscular dystrophy. It's actually more. It's a world like I'm helping them make the recipe is good as it can be before they printed and makes you part of their family exactly yes yeah so did they like the arts and shallots high marks hi hi Park, shallots, or sensational. The recipe made the comment it's on page 86 of America's test kitchen's just-released vegetables cookbook the very thing this morning has a story that gives new meaning to the expression in the long run. No one wants to feel like news like the glory days are gone but Andrew says that's exactly how he felt.

In the months after his celebrated record-breaking back in 2016.

Then 93-year-old Bonnie and this person ever run across America, San Diego, California all the way the state Simons Island, Georgia, a huge crowd joined is this World War II sailor storm one last time chance in line with your that all happened about two years. Today he still runs for exercise still dreams of the glory I was running three days a week, but it's the same old thing and I just got bored.

He recently got so restless he decided to do something and I don't use that would likely if you pulls this off. This would be truly remarkable yesterday at the age of 95 money returned to the Georgia beach where his run ended to start a new back across the country again rescue the bus early this day as he begins his journey in Ernest's last trip. Three years now. His run is more like a booth expects this one. He hopes to reach San Diego sometime after his birthday. Matt is nothing if not an all runs plan to 2025 wheelchair gurney whatever it takes is out of a golf just like last time he is dedicating his run to the LST. That's kind of ship the same kind of ship he served on the war. There's one left and it's open for tours in Evansville, India is running to raise money and awareness. This shouldn't be forgotten should be like a person do you know we call it the great lady like you love this lady. Oh yeah, as part of my soul honoring his naval passed by plotting toward the Pacific and in this week early and just leaves behind all the proof you'll ever need that. There's no fun and fading into the sunset. At least not when you can run into it. Julia Lori Dreyfus was a laugh out loud funny as Elaine in the classic sitcom Seinfeld.

She struck comedy gold. Again, this time mining the world of Washington politics is Tracy Smith. Why do I have to tell people I want to be present to hear about their jobs if only politicians were really this funny videos. The Julia Louis Dreyfus Meyer, a one time fee and accidental president and a full-time cleanup disaster. I like to begin today. Her character is a narcissistic train wreck politician that inner and state first elected lady now in her seventh and final season. Dreyfus says it could be her role ever the role of a lifetime to feel that way you've had some really good exactly. I really haven't and I feel like this assertive unsurpassed for me anyways what we were busy writing culture references in funny song about the speaker in Selena's world nothing is sacred know when something is done that military-industrial complex. These are the presidents flying monkeys and she's pretty high maintenance. Tony Hale is faithful assistant Mary for the perfect moment. Perfect life is like you describe Gary feelings for he worships her as Jesus.

She is awful person, but to him. This is the second coming. Take all these meaningless syllables with you. Just shows real whipping boy is Jonah Ryan Simon Joan is a bumbling aide will eventually run for president himself is been incredibly fun ways. It is kinda hard this all the time it takes some smarts to be this dumb. It does, I think you thank you so screw like so many great American TV shows has British rootlessness derive a political comedy called passive course.

Total meltdowns are funny over here to meet Paul to do this job. You have to know this is bad decision that up Chief of Staff is played by Anna clunky people.

Like a lot of young women especially will come up to me like I'm here you are running America worst thing into this country gets one more time and show runner David Mandel knows how to bring out the best in the deep cast, especially Julia. He worked with her back in the 90s as a writer on another show Jillian and this one. Remember the man hands episode.

Mandel wrote for V. The standards are just as high Mandel and cast shoot the same scene again and again adjusting the timing and punchlines, and facial expressions until it all just works all sound stupid but I mean we would crawl through glass to get an extra laugh into the scene. My favorite thing is when people say I was watching stop and go back because there's so much in there. I was laughing and didn't hear the next two lines and that's that's been that's all I care about. Are there moments where offstage. You're trying not to laugh out loud. Oh God, you'll see. If you're watching me up tomorrow if we were lucky I'm somewhere where I can. That's number one.

If you were far enough away. I will well can't help know I am a laugher.

I guess I ascribed to the happy parts of comedy I'm going to run I can be miserable as the next guy that I like what I hear joke. I like to laugh, but I will I will cover my head sometimes. I will bite my fingers especially. Sometimes I'm on the set behind the cameras of throwing different lines and stuff and I'm cyanide I so worry about like I'm here. I don't want to make any noise on. Sort of like knowing trimethyl look at them really close to like actually seeing what face Tony's making or not. I don't know how sometimes have Julia even handles it with that close to Tony pace as my gosh, so you bozos used to dealing with angry, aggressive, dysfunctional men, i.e. men now just as with Seinfeld, Julia Louis Dreyfus is leaving her audience wanting more shows before and you know you tend to think think about a shows when they're up here is this different than said goodbye goodbye I will say that our final table read that we had. I was actually surprised by how frankly hysterical I became. And that's because I know I more cognizant of what a treasure this is just because I'm older and I've been doing this a while and I'm sort of aware of when it's good, very lucky thing. And the enemy goes to Julio. BJ is the operative word in 2017. Dreyfus won a record sixth consecutive any no one could tell accepted her statuette she was waiting to hear whether or not she had cancer so strange because that Sunday night we won the enemy. She one we won we were at the party we were at the after party. She was there at the after party.

She knew she most likely had to look like 90% sure we didn't know she knew she is at the after party. She learned her diagnosis. The next day and not long after that she told the world with a note on social media saying one in eight women get breast cancer today. I'm the one God. At that point, like what's good you know what show what's going to happen to her.

Truth is not even she knew that when she began chemotherapy didn't stop her from showing up to work.

Yeah it's funny because I'm so yes it is. Is been a tremendous gift to come back to this and frankly even when I was going through my chemotherapy that I had. I didn't come back here every three weeks needed table reads and stuff just so that we know The machine operating and took it as an opportunity to sort of get scripts written in advance and and that was in so many ways very billing it was hard to do critically. 20 and I was pretty strung out right there sale doing the table to table reads, but nothing beyond that. I will say that I had to really serve hunker down and just focus on getting better, which I did, but then coming back to this you know if it's sweeter than ever because I don't know. It's it's a great gift to be able to do what you love to get something down and I really love doing sure about this part where I say I would be president for all American delight all and now year and 1/2 later, she says she's cancer free. Trite but did add to appreciating things certainly added to appreciating life.

Life doesn't go on forever and so that sort of you know came right up to my face as a reminder and so I'm kind of a pretty solid sense of priority, shall we say moving forward now moving forward is bittersweet cast members that seem to hate each other on screen genuinely admire could even say love each other in real life. I miss the most. I guess they gather relationships with people you know you see them at their best in their worst and at this point you just realize how much they say it's okay to take away from the long run in comedy, as in life, good ever comes easy along this fight school as we possibly can and cannot be torturous at times. And yes to.

I know this is CBS so I can't swear you can beat me off, but once you've walked through the awful to find your way to the right moment. The right language, the right motion any land. It's like chocolate cake for days. This week's New York Times bestseller list is out, and once again number one where the crawdads saying from author Delia Owens just how the novel came to be is a story in itself is Lee Cowan explains it's almost in Canada with a view, one that's just how remote this northern corner of Idaho away from this is really special diesel audit like Delia Owens wildlife is sure isolation you will I get lonely sometimes I feel like I can bring you like part of the book were the chronic thing Naaman recent book fair in Savannah, Georgia, readers lined up around the block just so many stories I can become a fixture in the New York Times bestseller list of the last six months we visited the publisher give her a call and why tell her she just made it to number one for the third week in a row.

Thank you. My cell what makes her successful remarkable Owens 70 had never went novel. I have had such a great response from my readers I I just feel overwhelmed with gratitude. The book is pretty tough to categorize love story or mystery drama over to the outdoors: all copies of the manuscript to be hilarious to read that it took the better part of a decade inspiration coming whenever it came I sleep at night with a low pad of paper in my bed with a flashlight in the pan and I wake up in the middle of the night and write something down, something occurs. I think it's brilliant. And then when I wake up in the morning out. I'll look at them now I can't read what I write now long-awaited moments became the little scraps of keep secrets not better than that one made it to the book saying keep secrets much better title for the crawdads saying was taken from the Fraser mother used to use purging or tomboy.

The daughter to take to the woods around the world. Georgia home was to what those woods had to say I learned from the book that crawdads don't really sing what I learned from my mother that if you go far enough into the wilderness by yourself is nothing but human nature. You will hear the crawdads sing. She took that advice to heart. Bring a BS and PhD in animal behavior, 24 one-way ticket to Africa to put her science background to work with her then husband Mark Owens made a name for themselves in the wild writing three books together about their experiences with elephant line tooth eruption anywhere help the Owens determine Lions age even appearing in this National Geographic document states that only two people area the size of Ireland and that no people came talking very very rare to since divorced. But Owens kept on writing. She wanted to explore was something she felt all those years in Africa, but really measure the scientific way that was her feeling of being alone. I would watch the Lions in the late afternoon sun setting behind the dunes and they beat playing and tumbling with their cubs in each other's cobs and maybe think about my girlfriend's back and naming realize how isolated I was not have a group and that was one thing I wanted to write about in my novel was the fact that isolation and loneliness can have on a person see for her first novel was planned. She chose a setting place in the March like the one she took us to just off the coast protagonist is a girl named Kyle that the marsh is noted town forced to scratch out a life out here all by herself.

This is just sort of habitat she would be in after her family abandoned the light, we should see her coming and she's real very real to me. Kia this was the wild.

Her teacher, both in love and loss, much the way Owens herself found her way through life feel at home when Tessa Mountains out away from anything else feel like perhaps it's my writing fixers. After all, it's a pretty solitary pursuit of being a successful writer anything but hard to get some books on the very heart and crown and talk. I've lived a remote life. I'm not used to seeing so many people in one place, and although I'm sure you're very nice excitement that I get right now so the same as me and we can put the genie back is even sold the rights for an upcoming movie one Reese Witherspoon is producing probably would go is a different animal. Delia Owens remains happy just like right here finally found it like that. I'm Jane Pauley. Thank you for listening and please join us again next Sunday morning, it's me Drew Barrymore all my goodness, I want to tell you about our new shout to his knees… And in each episode mean weekly gas that can cover all the quirky find inspiring and informative stories that exist on the ball because well I and maybe you do too.
