LONELINESS: A STRENGTH OR WEAKNESS?

Today our youth’s major and stressfull problem seems to be loneliness. With the growing number of nuclear families where both parents work, more and more children feel emotionally or physically isolated at an early age. Children are sensitive and parents seem to be forgetting that often. They Parents seem to be very much occupied in their own busy schedule leaving the child alone to get engulfed in a sense of being completely abandoned, where they feel unimportant or even useless. Such kids start suffering from depression, as even self-pity doesn’t help them. Hence, they end up committing suicide as they feel that there is no one whom they could just talk to,to turn to in case of any help that they need. That’s why we hear more and more teens committing suicide mostly for this reason alone.
