Suicide means “the act of killing one’s own life”. The act of intentionally causing one’s own death has got so many different reason which vary from person to person, the act of killing himself/herself mostly happen because of stress such like as having financial and academic problems, relationship problems breakup or divorce, harassment and bullying cases as blackmailing someone whether mentally or physically. Most of the cases we find are mentioned above. In the same way, cases vary from country to country. The record shows in developing countries the cases occur 1.5% whereas in developed countries it’s 3.5% which has got different reasons. According to the last record of suicide cases of 2015 are 82,8000 which is considered as 10th leading cause of death means 1.5% death are caused by suicide globally. The research also shows that the higher rate of suicide is among men than women. In western world, Most of Suicidersage isbetween 15 to 30. It was recorded that there are an estimated 10 to 20 million non-fatal suicide attempts which lead to long term injuries and disabilities. Suicide as religiously is considered wrong and against God, in some countries it’s a crime and morally wrong to end one’s own life but in japan it is considered as means of failure and sometimes as a protest which is known as “Seppuku”. In India, it would be a custom that widow will end her life at the funeral of her husband whether with her own will or by being under pressure which was known as “Sati”. In rare cases what happens people burn themselves when they are not given justice just in order to show the world that we are not given justice or we want justice, as in Pakistan’s history “Mai Jindo’s” daughters fired/burned themselves in front of court in order to take the attention of public on their case that their case is taken slightly just because of corrupt system and they burned themselves to take the attention of public which lead to get them justice. Unfortunately they had to burn themselves just to get attention on their case and justice. If we talk about the causes of suicide, we’ll find multiple reasons which lead an individual to commit suicide and end his/her life. Here are few of them: 1. Mental stress or disorder: Most of suicide cases happen because of mental stress and suppressed feelings as someone is having and has got nobody to share the problem or ask help/guidance, so the person thinks of only one thing which really satisfies himself/herself is to end his/her life which they consider as end of every problem. 2. Financial issues or lack of job opportunities: In this modern world, provide basic needs to his family has become the biggest ever issue. when the man finds himself surrounded by so many financial problems and is unable to solve them he decides to end his life which he considers the freedom from every problem. This mostly happens in poor countries where government does not play it’s role and provide the basic needs and job opportunities. 3. Academic issues/difficulties: Well, in backward countries ( poor in educational system ) like India and Pakistan where there is no proper educational system, where students are bound and are considered as successful or best student on a condition to get good grades even if teachers does not have a proper way to teach them but still we expect them to get good marks and where the teachers does not teach friendly to students and just keeps on pressuring the students which make students to take a wrong decision/step. 4. Divorce and break-ups: These kinds of cases happen in under developing countries where the students are not given proper education about these kind of things, that what should we do in these kind of situations or how to manage them. 5. Harassment/blackmailing: Our, not just our but in India and different countries which are backward in educational system, whose judiciary system is weak, whose most of departments are corrupt, whose educational institutes are full from yahoos, who uses students just to fulfill their worst desire, who has got no feelings that they are destroying the life of innocent students and where system helps them to easily get themselves out from them cases and situation. How to demise suicide attempts Off course nothing is impossible in this world, in the same way suicide is preventable. It depends on the role of individuals, committee and society. Prevention could be done through different strategies as giving mental treatment, proper guidance and counseling, hopes and in last reducing all factors which compel individuals to commit suicide.
