In my day, you just used a website that had its own browser bar, so as long as they had the address for the proxy, they didn’t need to understand anything. I imagine things are more difficult these days, and it might not be so simple.
It’s still ridiculous how much schools block, but my point was more that if the kids who do understand aren’t helping the kids who don’t, they’re not fulfilling their duty to their classmates. We saw school as all of us in it together, so despite being in the nerdy clique, we had friends outside of it because of our actions to spread the love and make things more tolerable for everyone.
And to clarify again, fuck schools blocking all this shit. They shouldn’t need proxy’s to view suicide help sites or most sites for that matter, even “off topic” ones.

Kids should not have to rely on other kids to get advice when they’re feeling suicidal.
Agreed.
