SUICIDE THE NEW IN?

How is it that most of the Kenyan youths are resorting to suicide as a way of letting go of their problems? It saddens me that even the government has not addressed the issue, leaving daring citizens such as myself to speak about it.

Clearly,there are so many things troubling these young minds,university and high school students alike.Tthe most recent story is that of a Strathmore university student who took his life yesterday night.(13/01/2012) The reason as to his death is still unknown. Another story that made headlines is that of a student from a very respected high school in Kenya,who took her life claiming that she was dissatisfied with the school as a whole and that she had no friends within the school...
Now, I do have respect for the departed,however, I must question her judgement .All of us who underwent the 8-4-4 system know that we had to first settle in together and let our guards down in order to find people of whom we share even the slightest thing,who we would then interact with.It was like the so called 'love', you give in order to receive...If it was anyone's fault that she did not have friends, she would take the Grammy!!

Now,that is already gone,it is nothing but spilt milk...what we can do is salvage the rest of our Kenyan youths before this dangerous perception-that death is the cure to all pain- is too vast for us to contain. I would say that guidance and counseling would save us in this institutions,but these schools already have this,and the fact that incidents like these are even taking place indicates their failure...we need another savior,and until we find it,we are a nation at risk of moral suicide!!

Regret

Every fibre in my being misses someone,and there is no possible way as to tell him that. Nothing can be more frustrating. I just wish that some bright ass nerd would devise a gadget that would enable people to communicate solely by emotions of the heart...no words, nothing else other than what either person feels.

Still, I miss him
