Jo becomes tearful as he tells you that he lost his scholarship due to his failing grades and he is feeling “devastated.” He says “I worked my whole life for this. What’s the point now? I’ll never get my degree.” When you ask Joe if he has been thinking about suicide, Jo shares that he has been having thoughts of suicide for the past three days.
