Life never stops to surprise me. I have read in a local newspaper, that the police are investigating two youths after a nineteen year old was found dead after she fall from a building. To cut the story short it seems that the three youths did a suicide pact but two of them backed out at the lat minute. Are suicide pacts common? It is the first time that I have heard of this. What do you think about suicide?

In my countrytoo suiide pasts are common. Famers have been known to kill themselves out of growing debt or man killing his wife and daughters as he can not marry them off or due to extreme poverty. Is a scary scenario. many times when stress is too high the reason gives way to the irrational steps and people choose the easy way out.

i have heard ot them bet you have to if you'll stop & think. what jim jones & all his followers? i think sucicide is a very selfish thing to do to your family, it's a copout. nothing could be that bad. i have had to step-fathers that committed sucicide. it's a horrible thing to do to your family, very sad. u feel so helpless & wonder what u could have done to help them.

Hello my friend ronaldinu Ji, I think, in recent times, it has become re-curring and here in our country too, some 2-3 yrs back, few families committed sucides jointly together, or after parents giving poison to tehir children , they too commited sucide. But all tehse case were due to debt/love etc. In case sited by you, may be due to fear of examination. The moto behind sucide plays an important roll. may god bless you and have great time.

oh my gosh that's too sad. I have noticed how teens of today are actually more sad and lonely. they seem to brood more and growing up much much more faster. I dont know what's with the world of today but there's something about it that makes these youngsters crawl into their shells when they have problems and that probably pushes them to the edge. also, their early expoasure to the gruesome details of life, could also play a role in their depression. it's so sad that there are just too many depressed kids these days.
