August 11, 2020 | Junaid M Wani

A mother nurtures you in her womb for 9 months and this time is not as easy as you think. She undergoes pain which is unbearable and many other serious complications occur during this phase and then after birth you know how she cares for you. A father on the other side works hard to earn for his family in one or the other way whether he is a govt. employee or a daily laborer. To serve the family both parents leave no stone unturned and always let children to have a beautiful life. But nowadays teens have turned towards ending lives by suicide or indulge in some other activities like drug addiction suicide etc which leaves a drastic agony effect over the family.

A surge in the cases of suicide has been noticed from some years in Kashmir valley and is a matter of serious concern .Mostly teenagers find no solution to a dilemma or any other problem and choose death over facing the situation and this has become a cataclysmic cause for the teenage deaths. When a teen commits suicide, not only the family but everyone is affected and this leaves a scar in the heart of everyone in the society. The reasons behind a suicide or attempted suicide can be complex, but often there are warning signs. In the entire J&K it has been found that at least one suicide is recorded every alternate day and there is hardly any hamlet or Mohalla that has been untouched by more than one incident of suicide attempts. Nearly 24000 men and women, mostly young, have attempted suicide in the last 17 years in Kashmir. Of them 3000 have been successful. Shockingly, most of them were between the age of 16 and 25.Quoting psychiatrists, the violence in the valley has devastated the psyche of the Kashmiris and stress-related diseases have grown manifold across the social spectrum, driving the people mostly youngsters increasingly to suicide. This suicide is a social evil and threat to mankind and humanity itself as a whole.

Possible Causes of Suicide

Mostly teens prefer suicide because they were trying to escape from a situation that seems impossible to deal with or to get relief from really bad thoughts, feelings or family issues. Some people who end their lives or attempt suicide might be trying to escape feelings of rejection, hurt or loss, others might feel angry, ashamed or guilty about something. Some people may be worried about disappointing friends or family members, and some may feel unwanted, unloved victimized or like they’re burden to others.
Failures and disappointments lead to depression and some people with depression are not able to find a good outcome and may believe they will never be happy or things will never go right for them again. Depression affects a person’s thoughts in such a way that the person doesn’t see when a problem can overcome and this leads to a full stop on the optimism about depression then depressed people don’t realize that suicide is not a permanent solution to a temporary problem .A teen with depression may feel like there is no way out of problems, no other escape from emotional pain, or no other way to communicate a desperate unhappiness.
Some teens nowadays are addicted to drugs and other substances which can lead to suicide when they will not be able to get it or some other reasons may be there in it. Also alcohol and some drugs have depressive effects on the brain. In addition to the depression these can lead to interference in person’s ability of judgment. They interfere with the ability to assess risk, make good choices and think of solutions to problems. Also some teens worry about learning problems or attention problems that make it hard for them to succeed in school. They may feel disappointed in themselves or feel they are disappointed to others. PUBG game has also resulted in a number of suicides in the valley also. This game controls the mind of the teenagers and they get addicted to it.
Sometimes a suicide can happen impulsively, in a moment of feeling desperately upset. Some times what happens, scolding from a parent or guardian leads to the suicide. Today our teens have became so sensitive that they are not able to even digest a taunt from their parents and they go for suicide which leaves a drastic effect over the family and becomes a matter of big tragedy for the whole society. If one child tries it, second one thinks of same. Before suicide you should think of some main issues like what will happen to your family if you did so? how they will overcome this agony and pain?. Instead you can work hard and do something great for your family, scolds and taunts from parents never mean they don’t like you or you’re a burden over them but these are just the lessons to make you much better than what you are presently.
Some people who attempt suicide mean to die and some aren’t completely sure that they want to die. For some, a suicide attempt is a way to express deep emotion pain. They can’t say how they feel, so, for them, attempting suicide feels like the only way to get their message across. Sadly some who really didn’t mean to kill themselves end up dead or critically ill.(To Be Continued)
