Suicide, the only way left for Pakistani people to get rid of their problems

The suicide rate in Pakistan has increased manifolds in the few past years and unfortunately the rate is growing fast, which is alarming. One can witness many suicide cases in Pakistan, on the daily bases in different news papers
as well as on the TV channels. Perhaps, the people find this practice easier than fighting with the daily issues and problems; they have to suffer while living in Pakistan.

There are umpteenth reasons behind this spreading suicide rate in the country, including, unemployment, and lack of basic facilities, health issue, residence issue, injustice, education, inflation as well as some other social issues.

Researches have revealed that rate of suicide is more in youngsters (male and females) especially under the age of 30. One of the main reasons for high suicide rate in Pakistan is inflation, which in turn creates many other issues
for the poor as well for those people who just have hand to mouth existence. Finding the resources less than the necessities, increases one’s frustration depression and aggression which ultimately leads to the only solution – the suicide.  

Unemployment is another big factor for committing suicide in the young generation of Pakistan. After going through a number of hardships and spending a large amount in getting quality education, when a person does not find a job
of his/her field, for a longer period of time, he/she is left with no option, other than getting depressed or frustrated.

The recent evidence of this increasing frustration due to joblessness was seen on Monday, when a youth committed suicide by putting himself on fire, in front of Parliament house. The reports have also revealed that this was fifth
case of its kind during the year 2011. It was also known that the deceased earlier had written a letter addressing President and Prime Minister of the country.

The incident is the extremely disgraceful moment for our government, showing that it is completely negligent from the issues, the public of the country is going through, or perhaps it has closed its eyes consciously.

Although, the depression, frustration, tensions and other issues have increased in the country, but the solution, the people have found to get rid of all of this mess, is not the real way to get out of the crisis; rather one should
fight and struggle for his right through all proper and possible means.
