Thu, Nov 29 2012May his soul rest in peace and may the almighty give strength to his parents to bear the pain. On one side young people are dying without knowing, on the other hand, young boys and girls die due to suicide. I just wonder how they take the extreme step without thinking of their parents, siblings and their dear ones.
