inverphil: Why are all young men taking their own life?



I believe "all" would be quite an exaggeration. However, as to why so many do, I think it's because emotions are intense, hormones are still uproaringly new, success is something that they feel they must be but are not, and all of this gets bottled up inside...and when they get that miserable, suicide happens.

I'm sorry you even are asking this question. It is so tragic. Some have a mental depression they may not even be aware of. They are just so sad. The sadness is overwhelming.

They are not thinking clearly, not thinking about how their suicide would impact their loved ones. They might even think that everyone will be better off without them.

The feeling of having someone close to you take their own life can make you wonder what you could have done to prevent it. It's futile to wonder that, but I still do wonder about my old friend who shot himself.

He left two wonderful grown kids, his daughter was expecting within a month of his death and it really crushed so many people.

In the 20-30 age groups,it is the relentless rating of themselves - versus both male peers and ,in particular female peers who seem to have developed an independence which many males find diff to cope with. Its not that they are critical of the latter . It is rather their own self rating that is the problem. Another major issue seems to be material . How can I pay for the lifestyle that I feel is expected by male and female peers? Its as if their rating of themselves has become intimately intermingled with financial and material success. Deep down hey real success . Deep down they know that this is really self esteem issue but struggle to express this. They have lost the ability to love and apppreciate themselves ,for who.they are not what they are worth. Have we as a society a responsibility ,in relation to this we do not promote the concept .of disposability.in relation to people as much material possessions? How do we reach them?hug hug
