    Its really sad to here this news.Though my native place is in Manglore I've come to Thirtahalli for holidays..And am getting this news from both the side.There are many people praying for life,and these are ending it just like that.We can still never judge what has gone wrong and blame him for this coward action of his...there might be some peer issues,or one won't commit suicide with pleasure..what we can do is simply pray for his parents..who might be totally broken by now...God bless them!

    Which God u mean? Even the most ruthless terrorists r killing people because of their extreme indoctrination that their God will straight away take them to heaven if they commit such barbaric acts!!!

    Just now, I read a news report that, somewhere in India, a man cut off his mother's neck and offered it to his favorite God to please the God!!!

    Parents forcing children into engg to show off in society is one of the main reasons, though the reason here could be different!

    So many factors are involved... difficult to comprehend what must have gone wrong and what must have gone into their head before committing suicide.

    Talking on the same context, I am still reading the Bangalore guy - Arjun Bhardwaj who jumped from the 19th floor of Taj Land End Hotel in Bombay last Monday April 3, 2017. The worst part is he had carried out a demo earlier on 2 occasions but somebody was always there to save him..although it very nearly saved him this time too, but to the contrary. This act of his was live on Facebook. I have attached the link below ... Page 1 is the main story "When Death goes live" and then turn on to Page 8 for the full details.

    http://epaper2.mid-day.com/epaper/09-apr-2017-252-edition-Mumbai-Page-1.html

    Whichever way we look it, it seems that it has become a fashion and this trend is fast catching up with the teenagers and younger generations..What drives people to the edge to compromise with their lives is still some survey scientists are working on to obtain a solution. Many studies have opined that a one-to-one-correspondence / communication is the ONLY need of the hour to make a person comfortable and get them speaking to you and interact with you AND ban electronic gadgets / devices that provoke people to get lured into (upto a certain age, not binding on them unto eternity - for sure)

    What happened in the case of Lawrence will be mysterious .. only time will tell the real reason, albeit, fingers crossed.

    All that I can say is that this is a very sad event because whatever the problem, suicide is not a solution. May his soul rest in peace.

    We all say suicide is not a solution. Of course it is not. At the same time solution doesn’t reach in time. Unhappiness and sadness is spreading faster than any other contagious diseases. The reason is depression is in the air.

    We breathe it knowingly or unknowingly every moment. Above all the sad part is we don t try or reach out for a solution. For some strange reason we enjoy being alone. If we have a problem we have a solution also. Solution exists first and then comes the problem. Our task is to find the right solution. Keeping aloof is not a solution. Like the way we go to doctor for physical illness, in depression or psychological problems also, we need to act. We need to share. Then the solution reaches us.

    What is more disturbing is those who commit suicide definitely may have gone through the news of such incidents before them and may have read as many as comments against committing suicide including the available helplines and help. But still they can’t prevent themselves from being one of them.

    We have lost one more valuable young person. Whatever be the reason, no reason is valid to commit suicide. May god give enough strength to his family members specially his mother to bear this heavy pain. RIP.

    very sad.. RIP.

    Life in hostel is bit diferent, that too in a diferent town. You don't eat home food, and the people around you don't have the same emotions like your parents or siblings.. it takes time to adjust.. But then as they say it is all fate. Feeling bad for the parents...

    Very sad incident. Very young age to die. Parents are taking so much trouble to bring up their children in a Best way and give the Best of Education and Children now a days do not understand. Without thinking taking the Extreme step. May God give strength and courage to his parents near and dear ones to bear this loss. May his soul Rest in Peace.
