This is really funny to me AT LEAST. HAHAWell, if you read the papers and follow the news closely, you will really wonder why students are taking their lives so easily. Secondary students, tertiary students, university students and as long as they are students, they have a chance of commiting suicide. There was another suicide case this morning at AMK where the victim jumped from the 25th storey.
Failure to handle stress, relationship problems, family problems, victim of bullying and any problems we students faced. Are these reasons good enough for us to take the plunge?
It's really disappointing and to a certain extent scary. Every few weeks or so, you will read about a person who is about the same age as me committing suicide.
I would say we probably have to blame it partly on our education system. We grow up with our parents telling us "IF YOU DON'T STUDY, NEXT TIME YOU WILL SWEEP FLOOR!" Then you go to school and these nerds and geeks start to taunt you, "EEEE YOUR RESULTS SO LOUSY, NEXT TIME YOU SWEEP FLOOR LA!" If that's not enough, your teachers will start to jump on you. We have seen how competition in studies have broken friendships apart and they have certainly turned us into a hierarchy. However, in actual world, is it true that people without qualifications cannot survive in the future? After speaking to so many people in the workforce, I realised you will have a way out somehow.
Talking about love, I think it is stupid to commit suicide over it AT THIS AGE. At 19 or 20, what the fuck do you know? Yes, we may feel that we cannot survive without this person or whatever but that is because we have not or rather we refused to meet somebody better. It's amazing to see how teenagers chose to disappoint their parents instead of giving up on their "love".
In any case, RIP
