Some Teens View Suicide As An Honorable Act, Parents Should Be Warned

Suicide is never a pleasing action or an honorable act but for some people of various culture, it is deemed a selfless act needed to be done for upright reasons. The sad fact today is that there are many suicidal teens who become killers and believe that it will gain them praises.

If the Japanese have Hara Kiri, which is a form of suicide that is done to atone a crime or shame done, Palestinians also use suicide as a way to attain glory. For Palestinians, suicide for no reason is not honorable at all but if it is done for a reason, then nothing is wrong with it and is considered a glorious act. Now in this world filled with distressed young people, many suicidal minds are being drawn to such kind of death.

The Palestinian terrorists' major pursuit is to kill Jews today and they need Shahids or martyrs to execute their plans. There is a group called Fatah that currently brags about their killings even over social media. Fatah boasts of their achievement so far to kill 11,000 Israelis that involved using 170,000 Shahids.

Yesterday, an explosion happened in Turkey during a wedding and the suspect for the bombing was actually a fourteen-year old boy. The police officers still do not know if the boy blew himself up or the bomb was operated remotely. Suicide bombing is not just limited to young boys but also to young girls. Last year there was an incident of bombing that involved five girls who killed at least twelve people in Nigeria.

How teens think today is very alarming. Their way of thinking has become more ideological and radical than the previous generation's youth. However, the new generation are exposed to more harsh realities and extreme pressure and these catapults them to easily give up and just resort to suicide. Now to make their death more meaningful, they would rather do suicide in an "honorable" way.
