Why do youngsters try to commit suicide for some silly reasons?

**Helena** · 07-29-2018, 01:16 PM

Recently I came across an incident where a young couple had a fight and the boy cut his hand due to the argument between them.Fortunately some people saw them and admitted the boy in the nearest hospital.The doctors said that he lost more blood and almost near to death!

The bitter truth is that both of them are undergraduates! Why do youngesters nowadays try to commit suicides or do this type of mad things for some silly reasons? Are they trying to prove themselves or is it an escapism from problems around them?

I guess it's because undergrads and youth tend to exaggerate the seriousness of an issue. Everything starting from an FB like to a comment affects us a lot because we have allowed those media to affect our lives.
And each and every moment is being trumpeted over the social media which leads to massive exposure to our personal lives. These things lead to over thinking a problem or over glorifying a simple issue, which stresses the youth up to making them feel helpless for a simple problem. That sense of helplessness is the reason for suicides, in my POV.

I think they are mentally unstable which make them to react instantly for the situation.Our youngsters tend to make decisions in a hurry,If they think and analyse the situation before they make decisions,they can avoid foolish acts.

Most youngesters have dipped into social medias . So they rarely have friends in reality to whom they can look into their eyes and share the stresses. Social medias have a great part in increasing stress .. Listening quality of our soceity also have gone mad . People use smart phones while someone is telling their issues. Good relationships that can overtake the social medias will reduce the suicide rate.

So you say that the social media is the key for all these problems? But the people I mentioned are Undergraduates and they have more exposure towards the society.Won't it be helpful for them to handle such issues in a much better way? Don't you think the society lacks something?

You are correct Bhavya. Most of the youngsters don't have patience at all and that makes the situations even worse.

Well said Karikaalan, Social media is one the main reason for increase level of stress and suicides in youngsters. Our young generation stop valuing the necessary and important of real relationships. Parents should teach the value of real relationships to our children.
