CEDAR PARK, Texas (KXAN) - This week marks one year since Meagan Allen, 15, killed herself at Leander High School. Her mother, Angela Kandis, filed a lawsuit against the Leander school district on April 3 claiming they did not do enough to help the struggling teenager.
There were warning signs on the outside to suggest she was hurting inside.
"She stopped wearing her contact lenses and started wearing her glasses -- that was kind of unusual for her. She stopped wearing her makeup, she stopped really dressing up," said Kandis.
The obvious change came in the classroom when the freshman's typically high grades plummeted.
"There were 24 zeros in a three week period," said Kandis. "She had a 12 average in math. She was in all advanced placement classes."
Meagan's mother, whose military husband was deployed at the time, said she met with teachers and fired off numerous emails to counselors and the assistant principal to try and figure out a plan to turn things around.
