Daijiworld Media Network - Kaup (SP)

Kaup, Apr 14: Srijanya (13), daughter of Jayaram, a resident of Seetharama Nilaya at Admar in Yellur village in the taluk, hanged herself on the evening of Monday April 13. The teenager, who was a seventh standard of Lions School at Padubidri, was angry at the advice given by her mother.

In his complaint, Jayaram said that his daughter was advised by his wife at around 4 pm on Monday not to waste time watching mobile phone, and instead use the time to do some household work. Srijanya, who visibly got annoyed at this advice, went into her room at about 4.15 pm.

Srijanya reportedly was a brilliant student of the Lions School at Kanchinadka near Padubidri. The Kaup police, who have registered case of unnatural death, are investigating.

    So sad.Sometimes when parents see their children sit with mobiles for hours naturally they get angry ,Nowadays one has to be very sensitive to abuse children when they see children with mobile for hours and they struggle in house hold cores.Best is parents should give children certain timings to play with mobile or other interests and ask them to help in small household things specially to get ready meals or bring shopping .Afterwards allow them to play .Due to this mobile number many students have either suecided or harmed parents .One cant always give the children or parents the mistake .Heartfelt sympathy to the parents.Children too have to understand the struggle of parents to give them education or living.Parents too should not simpy abuse whatever bad words comes in mouth.Children should learn of living together as a family coordination and harmony .

    RIP, Srijanya. Suicide was not the solution. Whatever may have been the problem but have hurt the feeling of your parents. I know parents are harsh in their words but she has list not only her precious life but a career which her parents must have high hopes. Sympathies to her parents and all her loved ones. Live will not come back but the pain will linger on.

    When children start committing suicide, it means there is something wrong fundamentally in the society, surrounding and decline of love, care and moral values. The media, mobile, exam tension and of all, the expectation of parents that the child should get 1st rank, are all main reasons that gives the children, a feeling of severe despondency and depression.

    New generation children are overly sensitive. Got to be very careful how parents deal with them.

    what sensitive??? I feel that like this childrendont understand the pain and struggle of the parents. Are they toooo sensitive to understand what is going on in the world right now???

    Its irritating to see children spend lot of time on mobile instead on creativity or helping parents during this lockdown as they dont have to study or attend school or classes.

    I amy be harsh here but this is what I feel.

    Mental health has been least importance in our country. That is why you have children taking their lives. I do not agree with some of the comments made by adults who think they have the answers by simply criticizing the child and the whole generation of today's children. Each generation is different and we cannot base our understanding of when we were young. We have to engage with our children and see things from their perspective too. By listening to their problems and their anxieties we can do a lot more to help them. Studies is not the only thing that matters. Overall development of a child including their mental health plays an importance in our society, so that we raise children to be adults who can contribute to society. We need to support our children always.

    I completely agree with Mr. Vishukiran. We have to be highly sensitive while dealing with our children. The present generation of children are very intelligent and smart than what we used to be in our childhood days.
    She was also known to be a brilliant student, so what was the problem, children do not understand many things, so it is the parent's duty make them understand in a loving and caring way.
    May her Soul Rest in Peace.

    90’s generation children were never like this. We used to get scoldings from parents, but we used to obey and never disrespected them. Today’s generation kids are pampered and they are in need of counselling. She shouldn’t have taken such a harsh decision just for silly reason. May her soul rest in peace..!!!

    The moral class of school don't have moral inspiration. The teachers have their own problems because of private school. We will awake when every thing is lost. The school should be strengthen with morality obedience ethics. But at present school teach anxiety and material things
    RIP
