A life is one of the most priceless gifts given to a person, and it seems to be unnatural and truly egoistic for people to commit suicide and leave the world without any clear and justified reason. Though suicide is not the first reason for human death, it is still an important problem that takes more than 38,000 American lives annually (“Suicide facts”, 2015). The peculiar feature of this problem is that no one else is guilty for an individual decision to choose suicide as the only possible solution, just a person, who commits it. Many people cannot understand those, who prefer death to any other ways of solving problems. It seems to be so easy to end up a personal life and forget about problems. Suicide is the event that touches upon a number of people and influences the further development of the events; and it cannot be neglected as the problem to be solved and prevented among people of both genders and all age.
It is hard to understand why so many people choose suicide. Each person has a right to treat this problem in his/her way because it is wrong to create some standards and principles that have to be followed. Tough there are many facts and statistics about suicide, it is not appropriate to rely on the dry facts free from emotions when someone’s life and its ending are discussed. Of course, it is stated that men are more prone to suicide than women; young people are eager to make suicidal attempts, but people above 30 do complete suicide; and older people is the group that takes fewer suicidal attempts in comparison to people of other age (“Suicide facts”, 2015).
In fact, all these facts seem to be evident, credible, and definite until the problem of suicide touches upon a person’s family. Everything is changed in a moment. The rules and principles according to which people have been living before turn out to be nothing. Someone’s life is over just because a person does not find powers to continue living. The reasons for suicide can vary, and people have to define the warning signs of suicide to have a chance to help a person and prevent a disaster. As a rule, people have to pay attention to those, who start talking about death and the inabilities to continue living and try to gather much information about different lethal means, who underline how hopeless or trapped they are now, who do not want to see the reasons for doing something, or who suddenly change behavior and contradict the norms chosen before. Besides, people with mental health problems can accidentally suicide; therefore, they have to be controlled accordingly.
One of the biggest mistakes made by people is their unwillingness to believe that they can do something to help a person with suicidal intentions. It is so easy to start talking with such person and try to explain that nothing is that terrible to end this life so soon. There are so many people, who lose their ways and make wrong impermanent decisions. They may be in need of some portion of understanding and support without even guessing about it. The main point is that all conversations of such type should be properly organized and began. It is wrong to start talking about how wrong suicide can be, etc. It is more important to understand what makes a person come to such conclusion and how priceless a human life is.
There are so many challenges people have to be ready for in this life. Still, none of them can make people believe that suicide is the only solution that can be made. A human life is amazing even if people think another way. By the way, if a person faces some problems, it is because someone else on the Heavens thinks that this person is ready for such challenges and can overcome them properly.
