How To Combact High Suicide Rates In The Society by Somebody5589: 3:36pm On May 16, 2019
Good day,
Forgive the following write up, but have been forced to say my opinion, the rate at which suicide is growing in the Nigerian society today is something worth questioning, everyday I come on the internet, and all I see is tales of how someone took his or her life, and then people begin to ask questions as to why the person killed himself, the reasons so far has been ranging from
1) Employment issues,
2) Relationship problems,
3) Education,
4) Acceptance into the society etc
Most of which end up leading to depression and next suicide..
So far there have even been prank messages regarding suicide which is highly disheartening, given that it's a societal problem that should be seriously dealt with.

Here's how I believe suicidal problems can be combacted in our society.
1) Prevention
Before suicide, comes depression, and during the phase between depression and suicide, there's a stage where the recipient reaches rock bottom, here he or she feels all alone and rejected by the society, most times they have the feeling of lack of purpose with no aim and goals in life anymore, at this stage, if such person is noticed, he or she should be given adequate monitoring and care, and should be counselled regularly, he or she shouldn't be left alone, until its certain that the recipient is no longer depressed and most especially already have a purpose and goal in life

2)Cure
After suicide, the society of today, clamour around and most times we justify reasons why the person took his life, please note..
People who commit suicide shouldn't be celebrated. People who commit suicide shouldn't be pitied

I repeat myself again,
People who commit suicide shouldn't be pitied
Rather they should be condemned and rebuked, this way any other suicidal person would have a rethink at life, if he or she knows he'd be condemned after the act.

People who commit suicide are to be condemned.

3) Prayers
In all things, we need prayers, most especially even we ourselves shouldn't fall into the cold hands of depression, its a really strong entity and it takes grace to overcome it..

Thank you for reading
