    It is really sad yet another young life has gone. May her innocent soul rest in peace and may God Bless her family with all the strength and courage to face this untimely loss.
    My feeling is that children these days need more of orientation along with parents as well. Parents hardly have the time and patience to teach their children about failures, a word called " NO " for things when it is necessary, to handle pressure and build up stamina, immunity and patience with understanding.
    What I find and my feeling is that parents these days provide their children every materialistic demand they make, which is pretty good. But then, somewhere our systems fail to teach our children basic values of life, not the cost and brand of things, but value of things. Most of our children have lost their sense of being a child, playing like a child, behave like a child when required. Parents need to support this. This lock down period would have been the best for this. Guide them properly, correct them when required, in the proper manner. Teach them values of life, like basic respect for elders, teachers and value of " Being a human" than being a meager " Human being " .

    Why are minors (or even adults) committing suicide only in India? Something is wrong with our culture. Fear of failure or Fear of rejection???

    Most of the adults judge us for anything, always interfere in others matters , keep so much expectations , dont try to understand your own children. You know every single adult talks about how life was during their times and are trying to use the statement while someone succumbs to mental pressure. But do you realise someone's mental pain should be addressed and they must have someone to listen to them. But even after sharing our thoughts its not enough cause adults shout at us and dont realise if the same thing was said in a better way , how much it would help the person feeling the pain. Everyone is different just because your resilient, doesnt mean others are. Help them , tell them to vent whatever problems they have without judging them and you will see suicide rates drop. Dont remind your kids if he is a failure if he dint score a 90 . Understand his/ her interests, tell them to try hard but dont cone them when they are not able to score well. These all small things matter to them the most.

    You are absolutely right Sir.
    Suicide scenes in TV & Movies should be banned by Broadcasting Corporation of India.

    Hard to believe and very sad.I just think sometimes what is wrong with our children nowadays.?They are having more facilities than our times.or too much stress in school and home?May be missing parents love and care,but more pressure to study and get first class marks?when parents advice to study ,that too is sometimes too much.As in this case not to beat small children and bother was too didnt take as advice but decided to take off her life.That means something was troubling her and ended life.How painful this will be to her parents and family ,she didnt think.well she was not a adult.We must now in future take care not to punish them ,or scold them which they may take wrong decision.Heartfelt sympathy to the family.may her soul rest in peace.
