                               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 ”.
