The Young and Suicidal

[EunoiaJAYCEE]

Recently someone I knew told me that her 14 years old son attempted suicide. I was shocked. Especially coming after the Benjamin Lim and the SCDF recruit incidents.

Apparently this young kid decided to kill himself to help his family. The family were in some sort of financial difficulties and the boy foolishly thought that he can help to alleviate their troubles by killing himself. One less mouth to feed, one less financial worries. Or at least that was what his mother told us. Fortunately in this particular case, the boy did not die but the outcome could have been very much tragic.

Why did the boy think that suicide was the solution? Just like in Benjamin Lim’s and the SCDF recruit’s case? Did they think that if they die, all the problems will be resolved? Maybe so for themselves but it seems they have forgotten that everyone around them and especially their immediate family will be affected?

In my friend’s case, if the boy had died, the parents will feel so guilty that they caused his death. And what if he did not die but became a vegetable or handicapped? Couldn’t it make things worse for his family instead of helping them?

I wonder why kids nowadays attempt suicide so easily. Fail exam? Unrequited love? Parents’ scolding? Anything will trigger them off. We called the current generation of kids the Strawberry Generation people who bruise easily and cannot take stress, pressure and hard work. Is it due to the influence of social media, tv drama series?

Suicide without ever tasting pussy,especially underaged pussy.

Yes social media played a part.

"There is proof that one teenager chose to end her life after seeing the outpouring of grief another youngster had received online after killing herself, with one user's condolence message attracting 190 likes."

No wonder a chinese dog like you displays crab in a bucket syndrome and loves to tar everyone with the same brush. Seems like your coolie family is truly fucked up but the funny thing is you make it sound like every other sinkie chinese is just like your family which is obviously untrue. Crab in a bucket syndrome just like narong who hates ah bengs and calls chinks the scum of the earth but turns out he's from a hokkien peng pai kia family and is also a cina kwee.
