Truew Reason behind Suicide
 Recent studies link suicide attempts due to hopelessness. Their studies shows that stress leads to suicidal tendencies of men. Now adays there are suicide attempts everyday in the world. These events occur often in third world countries where the constant struggle of a person and the weight of responsibilities drag them into suicide.

 These incidents seem to grow in the number every year. Attempts made were usually due to problems with day to day living. Specially in the third world countries wherein violence is very prominent and economic situation is usually unstable. In the despair of the people living in those areas and sense of hopelessness brought about by the very struggle they face everyday just to be able to get through the day, they decide to end the missery that is called life.
 Sadly these horrors are true and that poverty is one of the main cause of these events. Unfortunately this is not the only reason of the death toll. There are also cases where even the rich and famous are driven to their grave by seemingly petty reasons. Loneliness is usually the culprit in the upperclass society. Even the ones who have a partner in life is not exempted to the list of successful, or unsuccessful, suicide attempts recorded in history.
 Their position in society gives them that sense of being alone. They constantly grasp for aproval of their audience, unfortunately not everyone can be pleased. And as they strive to reach they tail spin into the black hole of loneliness and decide to put the cherry on top of their well known lives by their death.
 Probobly you are thinking that these people are just being dumb . Perhaps that is true although there are also number of prople that are reasonable high on the inteligence scale that have been on that same road. In some cases their suicidal tendencies are much higher due to the fact that they usually get drowned in their own situation and do not think that sharing the mess they are in with others would be able to aid them at all. So they keep it to themselves and just explode.
 These situaltions are all linked to one thing which is hopelessness. Any social class or gender and regardless of the educational background, self inflicted death is always lurking anywhere there is the absense of hope.

    suicide

    A few people kill themselves for seemingly no reason at all. Some sort of genetic play is suspected in such cases.It is a complex subject indeed.
