i got to know about her death around 11 a.m in school when a friend of mine came up to me,with a sad face and said that a friend of his had committed suicide.i didnt know her,so didnt do much,apart from offering a small prayer for her soul and her parents.
so why is that young people,the future of a country,who should be full of energy and good spirits are succumbing to the failures of the world and accepting defeat.why is it that we,cannot find a reason to live?
i dont want to discuss the girls reasons to commit suicide here.may she rest in peace.but her death made me think of the circumstances surrounding our lives.parenatal pressure to do well in studies,teachers making our lives miserable,peer pressure to do drugs,love and its failures…
why is it that we choose to not fight but accept defeat and death as the only option.why can we not realise that theres more to life than grades,friends and love.and why cant the parents of such troubled teens wake up and realise their share of the mistake.
day after day,newspapers keep flooding articles about young teens committing suicide but yet they fail to realise their mistakes.why cant they back off a little and stop making our lives such a misery?why cant they be happy with the ‘kid’ that came out of their womb and not spend every minute changing it?
my very good friend is close to a breakdown and has already made up her mind to commit suicide.reasons-same.parental pressure to do well in boards,dad asking her to become a singer,her boyfriend dumping her and her peers ignoring her….
what can we do to make the lives of people around us less miserable?lets pause for a while and think about it.lets make our lives better.

Here’s a start, if we can get our country back out of the control of private global bankers and rebuild our educational system from the indoctrination service it’s become to an actual educational system, get our teachers and doctors to stop pumping kids full of “antidepressants” and “mood stabilizers” that cause suicidal tendencies and aggressive outbursts, stop the media from filling our heads with the lie that everyone else around us is a moral vacant potential rapist or con artist thief and start to foster true community interaction then we may have a chance at a brighter future for our young people. Think for yourself, question authority!

I agree Carlos, we need to stop living rhetorical lives and rediscover communication, as Maynard James Keenan put it “I know the pieces fit ’cause I watched them fall away…” The person behind the counter at the liquor store is not just a mechanism for delivering your cigarettes or your fast food, he is a PERSON with dreams and goals, tragedies and hopes.

This depressing story about Depression does no one any good. This is exactly what’s wrong with the world and why so many travel the lonely path instead of taking the High Road. Our society eats our young, tired, poor and abused. We get ahead trampling over rights and taking what does not belong to us. Justice is reserved for “Just Us.” Did you know stores like this care more for a pack of cigarettes being stolen than the worker behind the counter? We put a camera in the store to capture the clerk stealing and the clerk being murdered for $20 dollars and change. If we took the time to hire a security guard to work with the clerk that would prevent suicides and homicides. Do you think the store cares? Don’t do a story on Depression if you don’t want to be depressed by the truth. Where are the success stories dealing with Depression? We wait for them to fail before it’s called “News.” Baco strikes again.
