Life is for living!
Sunday, 13 September 2020
Close to 800,000 people take their lives every year. Unfortunately, global trends are affecting people in Bangladesh, especially the youths. Some old issues of suicide in the country were addressed while new ones are arising making it difficult for families to keep their children on a healthy path. Time has come to investigate both the old and new causes of suicide.
A young female journalist gave a social media post asking youths to face the challenges of life and come out victorious. There should be motivation in families for the youths to live a joyous life. The seniors, too, need to address some mental illness if any, and encourage children to developa strong personality. The stronger a person is, the less is her or his possibility to commit suicide.
