2 more students committed suicide…not even a month and more

then 20 suicides in Mumbai itself !!!!!

 

Yes we do read in the headlines every morning…drink our

tea…next moment we are in our routine to “forget and

ignore”…..

 

We are habituated to the terror blasts…

We are habituated to the murders in Australia…

We are habituated to the recession…

We are habituated to the inflation…

 

So

Why not get habituated to suicides too by our teens…na?

 

BUT before that let’s ask few questions to ourselves…

…as their parents

…as their teachers

…as their friends

…as their relatives

…as their siblings

…as their neighbours

 

 

1)   How the term SUICIDE got introduced to them?

·        Through media?

·        Through friends?

·        Through entertainment sources?

or

·        The most easy way out

 

2)   OK it got introduced – but then why we never bothered to

talk to them about the same there and then???

3)   We all watched 3 idiots – we enjoyed – but what we

learnt??? How many parents spoke about the suicide issue

in the film??? We only spoke about ‘Chatur’ isn’t it???

·        Whenever we watch any advertisement, movie or

read anything in the news paper are we that

concern, are we that much aware that we must talk

about the same to the children?

·     Why we wait for a question to be asked by our

children?

  
·        Here in such cases they do ask their friends and

imagine the same age group is solving the query —

- tell me is it ok? Do they have the same

experience, same maturity what we as parent

have???

 

4)   What made them do this?

·        I know it’s a competitive world – so the children of

this era needs to be more active, more smart, more

competitive…………but………..why don’t we stop

comparing these  firstly –  If we were genius in our

school and college life, then why it is so compulsory

that the same our children are supposed to achieve?

And secondly — When we were not able to do the

best, we were not able to achieve what we wanted to

then why are we expecting or I must say throbbing the

same on them??? Aren’t we being ruthless??? Aren’t

we selfish???

 

5)   Where were we physically and mentally when they took

such a drastic step?

·        OK physically we were not present I do agree BUT

why it was such a big loophole in the relation that we

were not present emotionally, mentally with in them???

·        I agree all are busy earning and somewhere busy

gathering  “ future pleasures” for our children BUT

then what about present???

 

 

Please think over – at least start form your home, from school,

from your area……….lets not sit and get habituated….
