Suicides are rising with Crazy Suicide Methods

Hyderabad, Mar 20: Nowadays, The Suicides cases are raising excessively for petty reasons along with crazy suicide methods also.

From committing suicide while on live video calls to leaving video messages as suicide notes, to group suicide pacts, jumping off towering multi-storeyed structures to ensure sure death, and even inhaling nitrogen, the way people have embraced death here has gone from shocking to bizarre to numbing.

The reasons have been mostly the same, though the decision to end one's own life is being taken quicker than ever, indicating the lack of will to fight it out. From love failures to extramarital affairs, refusal by parents to give money to buy mobile phones, financial stress and the most disturbing of all, academic pressure , have been behind most of the suicides reported this year, at the rate of at least one a day, with days when multiple suicides were reported being plenty.

The scars that many have left were not just on their families. Like for instance in case of one youngster who committed suicide while on a live WhatsApp video call with a minor girl, whom he was allegedly pressurizing to have a love affair with him. He had called the girl, who was with her friend, and then hanged himself as both the girls watched in horror.

Neredmet Sub-Inspector J Venkat Reddy said it was shocking when the house owner, the first one to know about the incident, showed the police the video on the youngsters mobile phone.

There have been others, who used videos to drive others to suicide, like the woman in Mancherial, who shot intimate videos with her paramour, and then posted them on Facebook so that her husband would see them. He saw them and ended his life.

"Children require some attention by their parents and families on a regular basis. Speaking to them would prevent mental pressure. More physical activity at schools will help in overcoming stress," he said.
