Suicidal incident at school: awareness about depression

September 06, 2023

HELLO MY READ CASH FAM!

It was already a 'ber months' and not even noticing the time flies so fast because of so much busy doing an errands. I am happy because even if I have a lot of things to do everyday, I'll make sure I have time to write an article today.

But before further a do, I am very sad for what happen this morning at school of my daughter. Unexpected scenario which is not suitable for everybody especially for our children.

A grade 8 student committed suicide by jumping down from 4rth floor building of the school .

It happened earlier at 11 o'clock in the morning. Some students are already out from school and some are still at the classroom for cleaning. They observed that this student was sitting down beside the door not even talking and they saw that this student cried. They don't try to bother because they assumed that maybe she was just upset.

But suddenly, some people downstairs was so shocked seeing her falling down from the top of the building that no one has an idea about what happened.

According to some students who saw her before she jump. She put a handkerchief folding on her eyes and do a sign of a cross and then jump off. No one thought that she will do that kind of suicidal act.

I was really shocked and nervous because my daughter still at school that time and when I heard the news about what happened, I rushed immediately going in school to fetch my daughter.

My daughter stated that before the suicidal incident, the last subject they discussed is ESP and the topic was about family problems.

Everytime the teacher ask about a certain topic about family problem the student raised her hands. And when the teacher asked the students whose family always quarrel when return home, the student always raise her hands.

They found out that this all happens because of depression due to her family matters and maybe she suffers a lot of struggles the reason why she wants to end her life.

Last thoughts,

We should always monitor our children no matter what. Communicate to them and ask them "how are u?" ," Are u okay?", Is there something wrong?". It's just a simple words but it means a lot to them so please be aware specially in their growth period. We dont know their feelings if we are not building communication to our children. "Depression is not a joke",

Let's show them our love and support,understand their thoughts and feelings and don't make them feel that they are not worthy because they are very much worth.

I prayed that everyone must pay attention about this matter because in any circumstances, depression is uncontrollable especially to those people who are lack of love and attention to their loved ones.

Take an action now before it's too late❗

Thank u and God bless everyone 💙
