Suicide is no longer just a psychiatric problem. It’s becoming a common thing amongst cliques.
There are a lot of culprits for this (aside from those that consider it could be moral).
We no longer think so much: “Oh no. That person’s suicidal.” We think more. “Oh. That person’s at that age.”
Was it the industrial revolution? Was it drugs? Was it common and just not so published before?
The reasoning seems always the same. either: “I’m nothing. I want to die.” Or “There is nothing. I want to die.”
Sometimes the suicidal person considers triggers. The person that dumped me, the parents that are stupid, the politics that are destroying.
I’m beginning to think that the younger generation will need a heart-to-heart speach: “Honey. Your body will go through some changes. When you’re about 14 you’re going to want to kill yourself. It’s a natural process, and you just have to recognize it.”
I think a big culprit is elevator music, buzzers, and intercoms. Maybe we need a review of standard Western audio signals. You know what else I bet- retail clerks should be encouraged to behave as careless as they would want away from the job. When you go to the till, they ask to mooch a dollar off you or they tell you about the lousy sex they’re having.
Maybe our world is becoming too meaningless because we’re afraid of making it a farce, and instead should just encourage the farce.
