The mind plays taunt.<br />Why people opt for the infernal step , sometimes at the slightest provocation by the vicissitudes of life is unfathomable to a lay person like me. Perhaps the shell is not hard as it should be.<br /><br />As you said social matters, artistic circuses in the form of films and celebrity idiosyncrasies etc push people towards the foolish step of taking ones life.<br /><br />The unnecessary pressure on the child by parents and tutors, peer pressure all alienate a child to extent that he/she succumbs.<br /><br />But I cannot understand the foolishness of self immolation for a political stand or for a political goon.How gullible people are!<br /><br />There is always a way out , a window open only if one has the patience and the courage to hang on and look around.

Actually there is a problem in upbringing the kids. We don't prepare them well plus we put extra burden on them. About love affairs, I think parents need to be more friendly and understand their kids.

Rural youth have no emotional letting up, i think. They are brought up in an atmosphere that glorifies 'love affairs', puts unwanted stress in marks and parental pressure is just too much, they succumb easily.

I agree with you that those who can not come out of turmoil in mind succumb to this urge. I have also read that article and reasons as told by you for young to commit suicide are factual. There needs to be a mass awakening movement to teach parents or guardians that world does not come to an end if child does not do well in whatsoever one is pushing the child to. To pull one from the brink depends a lot on parents, close ones and some outsiders who are open to approach by youngsters to discuss their problems. One need not be a qualified psychologist, if one is better it is, just common sense and experience of life matters a lot. We need to be open and approachable to youngsters. <br /><br />Take careJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-60102809866479705392012-06-25T21:18:19.029+05:302012-06-25T21:18:19.029+05:30This is a very important post, Meera.

SO RIGHT! <br /><br />It is shocking to hear youths commit suicide when they have so much ahead of them.<br /><br /> I believe there is time for everything...children should be allowed to be children and learn on their own ability. Personally, i don't like stressing children much.<br /><br />The unhealthy competition btw families and people contributes to it also! Hey! what about the media? have you seen advertisements lately by schools? <br /><br />It is so disheartening to hear women commit suicides also....the society demands so much from us...to be a SUPER MUM!
