Several issues have plagued our country, but the most disĀheartening issue is suicide. SuiĀcide has become very common in Pakistan, with many people taking their own lives for various reasons such as unemployment, depresĀsion, family pressure, and more. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), every year more than 15,000 cases are reĀported in Pakistan.
In Pakistan, there are numerous problems that compel individuals to commit suicide. However, the most significant problem in our society is unemployment. Many people have taken their own lives because they were jobless and under pressure from their famiĀly members.
Just a few months ago, one of my cousins committed suicide beĀcause he was unemployed and sitĀting at home, feeling pressured by his family. In the end, he took his own life.
Therefore, higher authorities must take immediate action to address this issue. Providing emĀployment opportunities and adĀdressing the underlying causes of suicide are crucial.
