A depressed teenager
The rate at which teenagers are now committing suicide is overwhelming. The idea of a young person killing him or herself because of worries, pressure, or frustration is devastating and affects the family, school, friends, and the community.
Barely few months ago, a girl visited her friends to have a swim in a swimming pool. Three days later, the girl's mother called the family where her daughter went to the swimming pool that she has committed suicide.
She just waited for a coming train and jumped onto the rail. It is a very complicated issue trying to find the reason some children or teenagers end up their lives tragically in this manner.
The question is, do they hate themselves? Are they being bullied? Why is life suddenly meaningless to many teenagers when they have parents to take care of them?
When a teenager starts to smoke heavily and take alcohol frequently, parents shouldn't wait long to help the child. Sometimes parents are too hard on children for the fear of something happening to them, especially when the child wants to lead the life he wants best.
When any parents are confronted with such issues, there are organizations and trained people ready to help the child. Parents must be very close to their children and speak to them often to know if they are happy or not over something.
Here, the child will be happy that his parents are showing concern, signifying their love for him. The child will, therefore, tell them whatever is worrying him for his parents to give him help.
