I don't think it will surpass suicide season when major board exam and entrance exam results come out.

It is easy to say "suicide is cowardly'. I'd dare people to say that to the parent of a teenage kid who committed suicide after years and being harassed and bullied. I'd dare people to tell a parent that their kid is the "coward" not the bully. [Unrelated to Jiah Khan, I know. But until we are actually inside a person's head, we are in no place to know what they suffered or how they felt. We cannot say with cocky confidence that we would be stronger in their shoes. Who knows, if we were in their place, we may have committed suicide way earlier]

Every one must read this post- beautifully written.

so true! what might disturb a person and to what extent is only known to him so stop making assumptions about its being cowardly- only the person knows that, not us! Depression makes you look at the negative of everything- clearly the smallest of problems seem unbearable when your mentally unwell.

what depression ??if u succumb to it than u r mentally weak ! then u do drugs and obviously will lose control on urself 🥱 its just stupid! u get only one life and its sad to see ppl just throwin it out coz of a few difficulties in life 😕

Depression is that state of mind where the person succumbed to it feels vulnerable and has a low esteem of himself and has always a constant feeling of getting let down...Constant support frm the family and friends and with expert help one can overcome this...Everyone do not pocess same mentality and coping power ...Some are strong willed some r not...But sometimes constant failures make persons bitter which lead to depressions...
Here Jiya Khan's case is that one...Constant failure in her profession, having troubled love life and problematic childhood (read somewhere she was an illegitimate daughter)... all contribute to depression which made her so vulnerable to take such a huge step...

I get where you're coming from. I really do.
I don't think "suicide is cowardly" but I do think "suicide ain't the solution."
Being bullied, harassed and pressurized is traumatic. But I think getting help from psychiatrists, counsellors and anti-ragging cell authorities will help them.
No, the trauma will not go away completely. It never can. But therapy and family support will definitely make it better. At least to the extent of not letting people throw their lives away.

Some of my friends from IF were discussing about this and they brought up a very valid point.
In India, there is a severe stigma associated with approaching Psychiatrists for help. Parents think only "mad/mental" (I don't know if this is the right word) people visit the Psychiatrist. That is definitely not the case.
And sometimes children don't speak up to their parents about what's bothering them, cause it's uncool.

Yes, every person's ability to deal with pressure is different. Some are more fragile than others.I just wish/hope that people ask for help when they need it. And I hope the society we live in becomes more tolerant and gives the required help instead of looking over their newspapers and throwing random comments.

I agree with you. Suicide is not the solution. It is the worst possible choice. It leaves behind way more distress, heartbreak and problems.

When it comes to suicide, 50% blame lies with the victim who chose that path for whatever reasons. 50% of the blame lies with society who didn't recognize someone in need of help and left them with no better options.
