INCREASING SUICIDE TENDENCY IN STUDENTS

                               INCREASING  SUICIDE  TENDENCY  IN STUDENTS

 INTRODUCTION -

                    Suicide, ‘a self destructive action’, or  ‘a intentional killing of oneself ‘.

Each and every year 1000 of student and children are dying not from cancer or car accident, but by their own hands.

       Suicide is second leading cause of death for college student and the primary cause of suicide is untreated depression. Going to collage can be difficult transition period in which student may feel lost, lonely  ,confused, anxious, inadequate and stressed.

       On the basis of the relevant observations the student who are quite  ,reserved, depressed, and socially isolated. But it is all up to teachers and parents to identify the suicide warning signs and should try to draw them out from the depression.

        Student has increased four-fold in the last few decades and is now the third leading cause of death among youth 15-25 years of age.

        Student is the permanent solution of a temporary problem ,but in a negative aspect.

         Everyday more than 1000 teenagers will think about suicide and 18 will be successful in committing it.

         According to  surveys, one of five college student believe that their depression level is higher than they could bear.

           In USA ,every 90 minutes a teenager commits suicide. The national suicide rate has increased 78% between 1952 to 1992.

            INDIA reportedly ranks highest in the number of teenage suicides and GUJARAT is at no.18 . It means suicide rates have increased 300%.

              In Iraq ,there are more than 1700 suicides by end of year 2009 only.

REASONS -

               Student are resorting suicide because they are getting reluctant to get treatment and especially  in our country going to psychiatrist clinic is a taboo.

                Static regarding suicides are indicating us to run a suicide prevention programs but unfortunately the college authorities are not taking this issue seriously. And even government is also casual  towards this issue and media is also a big culprit in this issue. “Students get thought of committing suicide from movies ,when a depressed student sees any suicide incident in movie then that scene reinforce  the thought of committing suicide”.

                    ‘ The deficiency of consciousness and education of psychological illness is also the cause of suicide’.

                    ‘The deficiency of consciousness and education of psychological illness is also the cause of suicide’.

                      It is a mistake to believe that bone can handle depression by his own and due to this people don’t  take step and finally they engulfed by suicide.

       “ The another reason is the high expectations of the parents make them emotionally weak and insecure and child loses the mental balances to over come the problem”.

   Another reasons  are –

·         Parents force their children to take-up the career.

·         College partial attitude.

·         Emotions – like ,love affairs.

·         Feeling of inferiority.

SOLUTION -

           

                It is suggestion to all teachers and principals of colleges to use one page of  their college website for a suicide  prevention program. And student also should take initiative to take with administrator of collage to  start the suicide is always urgent. If anyone is financially  low then low cost  clinic are also available  and if  anyone is suicidal then that person should  ask  help for help otherwise depression will be worsen.

   Other ways are –

·         Parents should understand there child feelings, don’t force them to do something.

·         College environment should be friendly ,motivated, and  interactive with students and should be impartial.

·         Proper purgation  of emotions.

      We can take the example from the film – ‘3idiots’ and ‘Taare-zameen-par’.

 CONCLUSION

                  At last ,I can say  in today’s environment suicide tendency among students are very much increasing.

                     If  we want to remove this , everyone should contribute in this mission . If we see anyone in depression then we should take initiative to help that person, by having little chat with that person we can prevent that person from suicide.

                “ There  is no issue on this earth which can not be handled by the human mind; after all we are the creation of God and life is a precious gift to us . We should respect our life and we should preserve  for our Almighty ”.

Children's Day - 14th November

             Children's Day is to celebrate "childhood". On Children’s Day tribute is payed to all children in the world. Children are loved by one and all. They win over our hearts with their angelic eyes and innocent smiles. It makes one realise that maybe that’s the way God wanted us to be.

    Children’s Day is celebrated to commemorate the birthday of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Born on 14th November, Nehru became the first Prime Minister of India after independence. It was due to his love and admiration for children that Nehru’s birthday came to be known as Children’s Day. He was fondly known as Chacha Nehru. The occasion is celebrated as a national festival with all schools and educational institutions observing it with great splendor and grandeur. Different cultural programs and events are organized for the kids on this day.

" And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them: and His disciples rebuked those that brought them.  But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.    Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.      And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them." - Bible

               But why Children's Day? Apart from being known for his skills as a statesman, Nehru was also immensely fond of children. The more popular and famous of Nehru's pictures show him with children. 

               In all the photographs Nehru's joy at being with children is apparent. When he is not sharing pleasantries with them, the expression of intense concentration as he listens to them reveals his commitment and attitude to children. Children to Nehru were little adults in the making.Nehru, to children, is never the Indian political leader and prime minister. He is always Chacha Nehru - Nehru Uncle.

              Children's Day is celebrated all over India, especially at the school level. There are also community activities with stress on children's involvement.

The Birth of Chacha Nehru

              Chacha Nehru as the children fondly referred to him, was fond of both children and roses. In fact he often compared the two, saying that children were like the buds in a garden. They should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they were the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow. He felt that children are the real strength of a country and the very foundation of society. He was the ‘beloved’ of all the children who gave him the endearing name of ‘Chacha Nehru’.

             The story also goes that he started to wear a rose on his jacket after a child pinned one on it.The national children's centre, Jawahar Bal Bhavan, is also named after Jawaharlal Nehru. Children's Day is literally that. It is the day when children all over the country are pampered with goodies. From the schoolchild's point of view, the best thing perhaps is that it is a special day at school - they need not wear uniforms and are given sweets.

Celebrations:

         Most schools have cultural programmes for the day, with the students managing it all. All over the country, various cultural, social, and even corporate, institutions conduct competitions for children. Children's Day is a day for children to engage in fun and frolic. Schools celebrate this day by organising cultural programmes.Teachers of the school perform songs and dances for their students. Various competitions like quizzes, fancy dress competitions, elocutions are organised on this day. Children are also treated to a movie and lunch.Television networks have in the recent years started to air special programmes all day long for kids on November 14, making this day a special treat.

Messages

        According to Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru wanted every child is special and has tremendous potential to influence development of the environment around him/her. On the occasion of children’s Day every child should be made to feel special and make the occasion a remembrable for him.

          These Days one of the best ways to bring smile to anyone’s face on any occasion is to greet him with lovely messages. Although these messages for greetings and sms can be self-made, it becomes difficult at times to pen words when needed.
