‌According to a survey , India will be having the highest number of youth population by 2020. We are to become the youngest country. Definitely we would be feeling delighted to know this but as the youth population is increasing,their tendency to die or kill themselves is also increasing . The suicidal tendencies amongst the youngsters have also increased since past few years which basically concludes that people esp. youngsters are thinking that it is easier for them to take their own life instead of living or going through whatever is happening in their lives.

The basic reason behind this is the lack of economic, social or emotional resources. When a youngster commits suicide,the main reasons are academic pressure, social pressure, workplace stress or relationship concerns. Basically modern kids fail to make their parents understand the choices they makewhether it's financial independence, marriage age, premarital sex or taking care of elder people. Several risk factors come into playthat maybe responsible for suicidal attempts or suicides. These include bad mental health or depression.Abuse by a peer or online abuse or being trolled by someone can also affect a person's mental health or make him feel that he isn't good enough to survive in this world. Social media plays a major role in such cases when a person is black mailed or trolled online to such an extent that he doesn't have any option except taking his own life. Social discrimination can also play a major role in this. Being socially discriminated or socially isolated depresses the individual and prompts him to commit suicide. And in these cases also,women are four timesmore likely to make an attempt to suicide than men. Men are twice more likely to complete the attempt to suicide than women. The rate of suicides of individual between the age of 15-29 years is the highest in India. In a survey it was found that one students commits suicide in India every hour. This simply means that parents and schools have failed to prepare children to face the triggers of the world .

Now there's an alarming need to stop this.If you know someone who is depressed or feeling anything like this, tell him that things are going to be alright and suicide isn't an option . Talk to him,be there for him and help him in saving his life. There are many helplines as well which help in preventing suicides ,we can seek help there as well. Do anything because it will always be better than taking our own life.
