My mom was handy with an encouraging word, but didn't step in to solve the situation for me.
The thing I hated the most about it though was the few friends that witness it and didn't speak up. They didn't add to the torments, but they just kept quiet. talk about feeling alone in a crowd.
Please keep in mind in your professional setting you are seeing the extreme, not the majority.

But you obviously didn't commit suicide... which is the extreme reaction, which is what you see in the professional setting.
