Suicide is cowardly

More and more young people have been comitting suicide of late for the stupidist reasons, like breaking up with their boy or girl friend , loneliness and exam results. What most people fail to realise is how cowardly and selfish they are being by attempting suicide, instead of trying to sort out or face their problems , they decide to take the easy way out and end their lives. Don't they realise how much sorrow and pain they cause their families and friends ? A friend of mine once told me that she didn't want to live anymore , she had just moved to the country and missed her friends back home. I wanted to sympathise with her but I couldn't, I tried to comfort her , but I thought she was being a bit melodramatic. I know how hard things seem when you're alone and it feels like the world has turned its back on you , but I also know that most often its you who has turned your back on the world , and thats exactly what I told her 'Buck up !'.

This post was inspired from a very horrible incident that occured on the 12th, I'd like to offer my condolences to the family
