Suicider

“Suicider! Suicider! And they say it’s over…”

Suicide is the act of intentionally terminating one's own life. Suicide occurs for a number of reasons such as depression, substance abuse, shame, avoiding pain, financial difficulties or other undesirable situations. Suicide rates are high in countries such as Russia, USA, China, and Japan; for some reason I don’t know. Here in the Philippines, suicide cases I always hear on the news are killing oneself because of poverty; Marianeth Amper, the 12-year old who hanged herself because she was not able to go to school for a month because she has no money to pay for transportation.

Some famous suicides are Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (1927), Japanese writer (author of Rashomon), barbital overdose. Chris Benoit (2007), professional wrestler, murdered his wife and 7-year-old son and later hanged himself in his weight room. And Hunter S. Thompson (2005), American author, gunshot.

So you might be thinking why I made this post? I just wanted to show you the picture of the man who jumped from the fourth floor of the Trinoma Mall last November 3, 2007.
