Romeo and Juliet “Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s drink. I drink to thee”(Act 4 Scene 3) This quote is talking about Juliet drinking poison.

Since majority of ninth graders are ages from fourteen to fifteen and that is the age where suicide is most common it would not be a good idea to tell them it is good to kill themselves over
