Udupi, Dec 20: A 17-year-old hanged herself in her residence at Bidalkatte here on Tuesday December 20.

The deceased has been identified as Kavana, a student of second PU.

It is learnt that contrary to routine, Kavana did not come out of her room for tea on Tuesday morning. Her father Ramachandra Achar called out to her, but there was no response and her room was shut from the inside.

As Kavana did not respond, Ramachandra informed his neighbours and with their help, the door was broken open. They found that Kavana had hanged herself from the ceiling fan with the help of a saree. Her body was convulsing and she was rushed to hospital, but breathed her last on the way.

It is said that she had pursued first PU in a college at Bidalkatte, but as she failed, she switched over to a private tutorial at Kundapur for second PU.

A death note was found in her room, in which Kavana is understood to have stated that she alone was responsible for her death. She also apologised to her parents and younger brother for taking the extreme step, but did not reveal the reason behind her action. ''Sorry papa, sorry amma, sorry tamma (brother)'' her note read.

A case has been registered in Kota police station.

    Rest in Peace Kavana. It is extremely heartbreaking losing loved one at such a young age. There are multiple of reasons students take extreme steps. It's important, parents should develop friendly relationship with children and children should be encouraged to be open to talk and discuss any matter whether studies, relationships, hardships and problems out of any matter. Out of fear children take their own life, instead they should challenge themselves to do better.

    Kids should discuss their issues with their parents. and parents should also create that kind of environment where a child feels okay to share his/her thoughts.

    May her soul find its peace.

    It is bad on all of us to have extreme targets for our kids. Some are brilliant while many are bad at academics. One lady who had a 1 year stint at UK told me that there the lkg / ukg / primary school teachers start looking at kids from young age and try to find their skills and put them in respective training.

    Here, we can't afford such excellent teachers nor the money to pay them. But parents and relatives have to be content and be happy with their own kids or relatives or friends and find positive things instead of finding faults and criticising or judging. Note that Bill gates, Edison and einstein were not brilliant at school but did great work for their respective countries. Once we imbibe that type of broad-mindedness instead of comparing with others.

    The basic reason is the isolation and utter lack of communication.For some strange reasons we love to talk to electronic devices and enjoy being isolated and alone.If we have a problem we need to talk express and seek guidance and help.Suicides are on rise because isolation is on rise.

    In reality there are no problems.We have only good and difficult situations.The way we look at the things makes all the difference.Young age is an age of confusion,so parents,teachers, friends and society as a whole need to educate our children to see best in our life and overcome worst situations.Our mind is our world.
    Rest in peace dear child.

    Tragic.Parents mustnot be knowing the cause,which makes them more sad.As These days suecide cases are increasing,mostly fromyoung children,a step should be taken immediately to prevent such cases in future.In Colleges and Schools ,once a week some advice should be given instead of some dry lectures.Give themconfidence to attend some Person and reveal their Problems ,instead of either jumping into well or suecdes.Tell them life is too precious to do so.It is not at all ashaming once when one Fails.they will be doing more harm to their parents with their suecide than they think.Better face life with a high Held head which requires some guts but it works later good to face life than earlier.May your Soul rest in heaven dear Girl.Heartfelt sympathy to your Family.

    Please all schools should have one class for counseling for all students, each and every standard you can keep one class for counseling (at least per week once class)….so this way only can convince students....

    The girl took easy way out of any troubles she might have faced. I feel sorry for the parents who are left with the burden of handling the legal issues at present and a nightmare of their daughter's horrific death that will never be forgotten throughout their lives.

    Making her the victim of circumstances, the fate has snatched away a beautiful flower bud. We pray God to give courage to her parents, since parents bury their dead child only the day they die, till then the child lives in their heart. May her soul RIP.

    Sister...Such extreme step was not necessary. Something disturbed you, your parents,teachers or your friends should've encouraged you to overcome the difficulties you've have faced. Sorry for the advice at this hour. Anyway you've lost your precious life, May your Soul rest in peace....!
