    It's indeed sad that a young life has gone. Like many parents, stop giving mobiles to your young children. Set aside a particular time for mobile use in front of the parents &that is it. if schools send notes or important notices to parents' mobiles, parents please try & get them printed & give it to your children & do not give mobiles to your children until they are at least 18years of age. Parents give some valuable time to your children, so that they feel loved and cared for. Instead of having orientation for students, have orientation and counselling for parents instead, so that they are aware of societal needs, rather than only academic competition.

    Like Zukerberg and Bill Gates do not allow children to use mobiles until they are mature.

    Sorry to say -today's schools send a lot of study material on parent' WhatsApp and the children are enticed to read the messages and thus tour the widgets of the phone reaching internet and social media.. Social media must be banned as it is misused and creates a lot of damage to society.

    PLS DONT GIVE MOBILE TO YOUR CHILD WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG. I HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF MY CHILD WHO IS 8 YEARS NOW. SINCE SHE WAS NOT EATING WE USED TO GIVE HER MOBILE, NOW SHE CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT, ALTOUGH WE TRIED OUR BEST TO STOP HER AS SHE IS WEAK IN STUDIES. COMMITTING SUICIDE IS A VERY SHAMEFUL OPTION, THERE ARE DIFFERENT TO MAKE GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME. ONE YOU ARE IN COLLEGE OR AFTER COMPLETION, PARENTS WILL DEFINITELY BUY ONE FOR YOU

    Very sad. Lot of deaths due to mobile phone. Need proper councilling to parents and children's . Now a days parents allow childrens to play in mobile . One year old kid also play with mobile. Parents also addicted to mobiles. They have no time to answer childrens questions. Hence they handover their mobile to children.

    Very sad incident indeed. Adolescent minds are very delicate yet stubborn. In a moment of anguish they will only take the extreme step. Mother was the best person to understand her daughter's previous mindset. Sadly she didn't realize the turmoil within the girl's mind. RIP to the departed young soul.
