INDIA A young couple, girl 18 years old, boy 20 years old, decided to commit suicide together when their families opposed the wedding. In Indian society, which is divided into castes, this is common. The boy took the gun, first shot the girl in the head and then himself.
If you’re thinking about suicide, please stop and recognize that your pain is not permanent, but this step would be. It may feel like there’s no other way, but there is hope, even if it’s hard to see right now. Your feelings are temporary, and with help, they can pass.
Talking about what you're going through might feel difficult, but it’s the first step toward healing. Don’t turn away from the people who want to support you. Life can offer more than what you're feeling right now, and the pain doesn't have to last forever. You deserve help, and it’s available.
If you need immediate help, please contact a helpline.
