    Another big psychological issue in this "tumultuous" world is the "copycat syndrome" in young adolescents so such type of tragic cases should not be given much coverage by media (avoid giving lucid details)!! Read the report below from archives of TOI in 2010:
    MUMBAI: Seven suicides in four days have left the city psychologists wondering if the copycat syndrome is working overtime in the minds of those harboring the tendency to kill themselves. The syndrome, specially associated with adolescents, makes one emulate others who commit suicide. Of the people who committed suicide this week, five were school children. These cases are relatively rare as compared to adult suicides. They, however, play a larger role in copycat syndrome as children are more likely to be influenced by such cases. According to head of psychological medicine of KEM Hospital, Dr Shubhangi Parkar, a string of suicides suggested that the copycat syndrome was at play. The syndrome affects a vulnerable group of people who are self-blaming, angry and passing through a phase of self-defeat, she said. In copycat syndrome, a person attempting suicide is believed to gather information from local sources or through the media. Experts say such suicides may be more common among college and school students or members of a community. In the case of children, such ideas can spell disaster. Parkar added that many children are unaware that their problems with parents can be discussed and solved. "There is a higher possibility that children will emulate other kids who have committed suicide. The way suicide cases and stories are projected in the media should be prudent,'' she said. Some experts feel that the media should stop glorifying suicide cases. "Such stories can lead youngsters to believe that their names become news if they kill themselves,'' said Dr Dr Hozefa A Bhinderwala, consultant psychiatrist, Saifee Hospital.

    The above is just for info on the effects of media on minds with suicidal ideation!!

    That is the age group when teens get inspired with worldly things and land themselves in the bond of friendship which gradually turns into love affair. Those who have gone through may know better.
    Too much love is too bad. Love gives but it takes more than what it offers.

    Parents should be very diplomatic in dealing with such cases. Force may make things worse.

    The is is the modern world, completely materialistic.

    Moreover we all have become materialistic without a shred of spirituality, and concern for others.

    All of us are too busy and we have no time to love our own children and guide them.

    Last 10 years have changed so much and so fast, I dont think we can sustain another 10 years at this pace.

    This are the fruits of our own making, violence, murders, rapes, suicides and lot crime.

    I have no idea what is in store for the current generation just 10 years down the road.

    It is very important to pay close attention to teenagers at home and spend as much time as possible with them. Age 16 to 20 is very critical for them in this electronic age. Knowing my daughter, I quit my job four years back to be with her and was able to guide by allowing her with full freedom. She would listen to her Dad over her boy friend. Now she is able to make matured decisions and I am back to work. Family is more important than the money and false reputation in the society.

    My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family on the loss of their precious daughter. May her soul rest in peace.

    guys please stop it. she didn't hang herself for a mobile phone. there was some other trouble in her life. she was in love with a guy and he hanged himself a week back n may b thats why her parents took the cell. parents should have been supportive at this time. parents should have given her the courage of facing the world and pain inside her. parents should have not left her alone because they knew ABOUT the love and the guy hanged. im v sad over their death.its hurting. kids please dnt choose the path of suicide. instead talk to friends elders who understand you n resolve. if u have no body contact a doctor. plz dnt opt for suicide

    Yesterday, a tenant next door had the same problem. The first year PUC girl was threatening her parents that she would jump from the terrace if they don't buy a touch phone for her which should have internet in it for which the mother was refusing. This argument was going on for weeks, till the land lord had to interfere in this quarrel and told them to vacate the house if this continues. This girl a total loser, ending her life that too for a phone.

    I was shocked to see another suicide of Young girl is ending their valuable life for silly reasons.Its a right time to implement of moral education and revise syllabus and emphasize on educating children on philosophy of life and strength them in facing challenges of life.Due to lackness of such teaching in existing system we are getting knowledge which has no lessons of life.wake up India we are imitating western way of life which is the root cause of these suicides which lead us to disaster.I am worried about next generation which is growing with cellphone in their hand who dont knwo what is right and what is wrong.

    We were brought up in village in such an environment that there was no day probably we were not scolded or beaten up by our parents. But we had enough courage to live. Now what is happening with new generation? May be some amount of scolding and beating in childhood (between 5 yrs to 10 yrs) by parents and teachers makes a kid mentally strong when it grows up. Just my thinking.

    New generation doesn't have hardship, life is easy, no beat nor correction accepted by children. all modern facilities spoil children. parents are fear of them if they take any action against them, I mean correction or punishment. So they take such drastic action.

    RIP the departed soul!!

    You are very right, today most children have not faced any challenges, hardships, punishments (for wrong deeds) etc. so they do not know the value of things and take everything for granted!! They just do not want to listen to 'NO' even after making them understand or counseling!! In such a scenario a parent is in a big dilemma and has to leave the situation status quo lest the young mind take some drastic step like that happens every other day for flimsy reasons!!

    Compare with the olden days where times were tough and children born and brought up in agricultural families, despite having gone through intense hardships and stern corporal punishment, never resorted to such acts and became very strong adults and achieved much in life!! Hence a little poverty/hardship in the formative stages which forces austerity, lets know the value of things, makes one emotionally strong and confident to face the toughest situation in life, is indeed a blessing in disguise!!

    @ Avani Mangalore,it is not quite right what you say.Beating children is also not the solution.Instead have a good Connection between parents and children.Nowadays children are not intensive with parents attached.They are more with materials stuffed to Play,bikes or scooters instead of Walking,tvs and mobile is very very much taken place in their life.Time is come when parents dont give what their children demand,they are not ready to accept and many of them suicide.Parents are threaten and they dont know what to do.Here the Girl must have had massive heartache after the death of her friend and felt to follow.many Teenagers are not steady enough to bear the pain.Here the parents have to console them and make them steady to face the world.A missing mobile is too for some like missing friend ,they are ready to even to kill someone for it.

    In my life i had a number of reasons to think on committing suicide . This has happened in different stages of life like when i was a student, when was a teenager, after marriage etc. There were situations where i thought i cannot handle the situation or pressure. I cannot bear nagging and dragging anymore etc etc. I still get those thoughts but i have decided to think about some good things happening an decided to move on.

    @Joyson You have your own medicine for the bad thoughts you are getting. psychiatrists dont have complete medicine for this (recent death of hollywood comedian. You are not only the person here, there are many other people also with you whom i know. I appreciate your craving to live at any cost. I pray that you move on forgetting the past or the temporary adjustments which you have to do in order to live in this world encouraging others to live. God almighty will help you whenever you feel let down by others. Just don't worry be happy.

    In this generation the children need more and more counseling regarding mobile, internet friendship we have to explain them its harm. parents have to use their time with them as there is any problem with children they could easily solve with their parents. now a days children get what they want and parents not going to bother about them.

Kids, you all do not know the value of life. You end it just like that? Kamalakshi is one of the best police person in Mangalore. A well reputed in Kadri station and police department. Soft spoken, humble and down to earth. May GOD almighty give their family the strength to bear the loss. And let it be a warning for the teenagers not to take such extreme steps. RIP!

She is a very responsible mother and was really concerned about the future of her kids and told us that she has dedicated her love and care for her kids. Sorry I just cannot write any more.
