How To Reduce Suicide Rate
Childhood is the best time to sow seeds against suicide ,not necessarily by telling a child not to attempt the act because you and i know that they have no idea about it.We make our wards to understand earlier in life that there are times life hit hard on us,there are times we would not get what we want , that it does not means that we won't ever get it ,but that there is time for everything. Moreover ,it is high time we stop telling our wards only how much we could achieve at their age,how we never failed exams,at your age I was already married, at your age I had done this and that, but also the challenges we overcame, the mistakes we made and some of our expectations that never came through. By so doing, when they encounter difficulty in life ,the manner of approach would be different, they will see it as one of those things that one must pass through in life, and also they would make reference to how their parent once experience similar situation and came out if it.
Flaunting only our achievement to the younger generation is doing more harm than good to our youngsters and the society at large,as they tend to feel there is a whole lot that is wrong with them when face difficulty in life since they feel no one has ever experience similar circumstance .We all have a part to play in order to curb if not completely put an end to the alarming rate of suicide in our society.
