    A week ago, there is a news a 14yrs boy jumped from the 7th floor and died, reason behind that his parents and teachers forced him to trim his hair, which is against the rules of the school it is shocking and very sad too, but I feel they don't have right to live in this world if they cannot face such silly things because life is not easy as they think and we should have courage to face problems and not to commit suicide and leave behind our beloveds to suffer

    I am personally sad for such comments. We are not sure how this person has been treated by his seniors in the past and what was his domestic problem. Under what circumstances he was forced to accept this job and what kind of harassment he received will never be explained by his seniors now. All I say is, may his soul rest in peace.

    If this soldier was entitled to visit his family it should have been granted. What would prompt a 28 year old to take his life??? A young life lost... These are the boys we depend upon to protect us.
