Conversation Suicide
i have been reading tonight about the tragic deaths in bridgend. seventeen suicides since the beginning of last year and most recent of those seventeen are the seven which seem to be connected. this sort on news makes you think how teenagers are feeling and what could possibly push them into a definite decision to take their lives. the thought that the victims may have felt so much grief for their friends that the only way out is by rope.
id hate to think my flock would find their life so terrible that they feel this would be the only answer. i think from some perspectives the answer could be in communication and the lack of this in todays environment. i constantly hear and see children brought up in front of a TV or video games. parents neglect to use the time out of school to teach their children to communicate to each other. i grew up in a house that had dinner and tea around the table as a family and even when my parents split up we still managed to sit around a table to eat.
the point is at this time this is here children learn to talk to each other and make conversation about things that they do through the day and things that would like to to do building up a trust and a relationship with their parents.
i always felt that i could talk to mother about anything no matter what it was i could tell her and anything that was troubling me i could always go to her. this was not to say that when i had been bad that she was not been disappointed but i always new i could tell and talk through my problems.
its been mentioned that maybe the internet may be connected but this can just been has another black mark against the webb. people have been taught to communicate with different technologies and yet the one true way to connect to one another is a skill that todays children do not have, conversation.
