Deadly Secret: The Robert Bierer Story


Was this the one about suicide?

reply

Yes it is,I remember because actor Wil Wheaton plays Robert and Dale is the friend who dies by suicide.

Whoa! We watched this in Health class in 7th grade and then again in high school! I almost forgot about that!

I know this episode was based on a tru story. Does anyone know much about the real guy ? Did the real story happen in the early 80s?

reply

I remember the year vaguely, but I'm guessing it happened in either the late 80s or early 90s. From what I've read, Dale had become suicidal during his years in high school; Robert tirelessly and desperately tried to save him. He (Dale) had attempted suicide on numerous occasions, and he would put himself in the middle of risky situations. The story is tragic and unforgettable.

I have yet to think of a signature. When I finally do, I'll include it.
