The Reality Suicide

A wakeup call to the attitude this generation has on life.

- Amulya Cherukumudi

I wake up in the morning, freshen up, grab a cup of coffee, and flip through the pages of my daily. When I read an article how a 10th standard student committed suicide because the teacher reprimanded the child, or an actress commits suicide because her boyfriend harassed her, I flinch. The heart aches to know that such a young life is lost, but am filled with anger at the idea that suicide has become a solution to every issue, instead of facing it. We live in a highly competitive world, with the best being rewarded, and the rest being lost in the background. Everyone, despite their status and income, face numerous problems on a daily basis. Are we really entertaining suicide as an answer to this?
