Relationship: Many couples after separation often go into depression. After being together for so many years and suddenly turn strangers isn't fun at all. It funny how we go from being so close and turning into strangers. Definitely not everyone can cope.

Human Rights violation:

My country recently embarked on a protest to end police brutality, we lost some people due to the struggle and some who managed to survive have scars for the rest of the lifes.The emotional stress pele went through can't be overemphasize, some are currently in the hospital because of the struggle they believe in.
