Life of youngsters in the United Kingdom is not as brilliant as it could be presumed. Recent data has postulated that more and more children, even less than five years of age, are calling up ChildLine as there are frustrated and are at the verge of ending their life.
Horrifying figures suggested that nearly four out of five calls about suicide last year were from girls.
One in six of some 6,000 calls from youngsters to the helpline about mental health problems came from girls who talked about suicide. And there were more than 250 calls from boys regarding suicide.
Over all, the data suggested that there is an upward trend in the suicidal rates in the nation.
Do you know the reasons?
Probable causes for such a drift could be depression, eating disorders, family troubles, bullying, living with someone who has a mental illness, physical and sexual abuse.
Even the present lifestyle is adding fuel to the deteriorating conditions of the children. The parents have no time for an open discussion rather they do not have enough time to spend together with their family. Children are feeling neglected and so are not able to find a helping hand, which they are in dire need of. And hence, the consequences are in front of us, youngsters themselves are churning in this sadistic cycle.
