Suicide...
Fact: rate of suicide in the philippines rises.
Fact: in the year 1993 alone, there have been 834 cases of suicide alone.
Fact: males are more prone to suicide than women.
Fact: the age group that is most affected by suicide is between 15-24 years of age.
Fact: you may help

teens are the most prone to suicide. i dont know why. all people have had suicidal tendencies one part of their life. teens mainly have this tendency because they sometimes feel that the weight of the whole world is on their shoulders.

they sometimes feel that they dont have anyone to talk to. that they have no one to turn to, and no one to believe in. they see the world that is truly out there, not the world shown to them as they were little. they see the ugliness of the world for what it really is, thru the eyes of a troubled young teen.

it is the time of their lives, where the only thing they can turn to is their friends. the people they hang out with. the people they spend most of their time with. the people whom they can relate to, understand.

maybe you dont know it but, you may have a friend who is feeling suicidal tendencies. sometimes, you might not realize it until it is too late. a lot of kids have problems. a lot of kids have a lot of problems.

some kids just do this to get attention, while most on the other hand really have problems that they cannot deal with on theri own. come on...you know what i mean. they sometimes find it hard to express their feelings. especially males (i bet the women agree...not only in suicidal tendencies but in their love life too...woops...back to the topic)

people have problems. and you as a friend can help them. try to see w/c of your friends may have a problem. you, as a friend have a duty to help them out. that is what friends are for. hear them out. make sure that they know that someone is there for them. that there is someone there who cares.

help stop suicide. help a friend. help someone out. you cannot change the world, but you can make a dent.

help stop suicide in the philippines.
