Can we minimise the suicidal thoughts among Teenagers?

These days we are witnessing many suicide cases. ‘Childhood’ is the most beautiful phase of life but what are we actually witnessing? ‘Suicide’. Teenagers are still children. Generally, they aren’t mature enough to understand what they are required to do and what to avoid, they are not peaceful and the drastic change is actually making them feel anxious. Earlier, we didn’t get smart phones. So, easily, our parents keep a check but now, most of us are so indulged in our life that smartphones are becoming the best way to imprison us and makes us anxious which on the later part becomes depression and if someone isn’t able to keep patience during tough time, then they commit suicide.

So, what are you required to do as a parent? Are we supposed to just keep our children away from phones? No, because they’ll get it from some other means. So, here we’ll discuss how to minimise the suicidal thoughts among teenagers.

Change the mindset

Changing the mindset is not easy and sometimes it feels like forcing someone which even makes the situation worse. So, the first thought is to inculcate such values during childhood.

Teach how to do meditation at early stage

Meditation helps to calm the mind and body. Most of us face anxiety, stress and find ourselves in the middle of chaos. Some are able to overcome it, learn to live with it and some succumb to it. When teenagers are able to meditate and learn how to do it then they won’t succumb to problems in their life.
