A girl named Andrea, whom he has been pursuing, has told him that she has no interest in him. He tries to talk to his parents (Mariette Hartley & Howard Hesseman) about this but can't bring himself to, thinking that they won't understand. He commits suicide by driving his car over a cliff onto rocks. Now, his parents are in denial saying that his death was an accident. However, his best friend, Ken Cruze (Charlie Sheen) who was the last person he saw before his death, was told by Skip that he was considering killing himself and is feeling guilty that he didn't try to stop him. Skip's sister Cindy (Dana Hill) tries to bring her family out of denial so they can heal. Partial cast
Critical receptionThe New York Times wrote "In any television project of this sort, the dramatization elements tend to be shaped by requirements usually associated with a how-to manual. This is the problem, we are told, and this is the way to cope with it. Experts are recruited. (Silence of the Heart lists Charlotte Ross, director of the Suicide Prevention and Crisis Center of California's San Mateo County, as technical adviser.) Not infrequently, dramatic clout gets lost in the authenticity shuffle. Fortunately, this is not the case with Silence of the Heart, a David A. Simons Production made in association with Tisch/Avnet Productions. Steve Tisch and Jon Avnet, the executive producers, have been steadily compiling an impressive television record since the release of their film Risky Business and this production gives them still another solid credit. Phil Penningroth's script and Richard Michaels's direction are effectively restrained, avoiding unnecessary melodrama. (The use of a volume of Sylvia Plath's poetry is a trifle pat bud not entirely out of order.)"{{fact|date=September 2017}} References1. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/30/arts/silence-of-the-heart-teen-age-suicide.html| title='Silence of the Heart', teen-age suicide| work=The New York Times| date=October 30, 1984| accessdate=August 4, 2011| first=John J.| last=O'Connor}} 2. ^{{cite journal| title=Television| publisher=Newsweek| date=August 27, 1984| accessdate=August 4, 2011| volume=104| page=114}} 3. ^{{cite book| title=The Midnight Show: Late Night Cable-TV "Guy-Flicks" of the 80's| publisher=AuthorHouse| first=Ken| last=Knight| year=2008| location=A credit to her craft: An interview with Silvana Gallardo| page=10| isbn=1-4343-4148-8}} 4. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/11/arts/3-tv-films-on-suicide-by-youths.html| title=3 TV films on suicide by youths| work=The New York Times| date=October 11, 1984| accessdate=August 4, 2011| first=Stephen| last=Farber}} External links
