DYLAN BUCKNER, 18 -- a star athlete and a top student at his Chicago-area high school -- ended his life on Jan. 7. His parents attribute his suicide, indirectly, to coronavirus for ending in-person classes and cancelling the football season, because Dylan couldn\'t overcome the resulting social isolation and upheaval of his daily regimen. CHRIS and KAREN BUCKNER advise: Communicate with your children. Love them. Be there for them. They and Dylan\'s friend-teammate JACKSON CARSELLO share their insights. Says Chris: "It\'s important to me to talk about it and help others."
