Just another day in abbe Coolie paradise.
We have a cultural problem. We make it way too easy for people to consider suicide as a "logical" solution to life's difficulties. Also, we don't spend any attention to mental health issues. We have this social stigma of mental health that discourages identification and treatment of at risk individuals.
Damn what is wrong with the people,action needed
here the social service dept need to become
more active.
In Guyana, most suicides come from not being able to deal with life challenges.
In most cases 'finding a gal fa de bai' could end up disastrously, because there is no courting to understand each other, prior to marriage.
Which insane father will allow his 17 year old daughter to marry a 40 year old man, but it happens.
Schools need to allow more interaction between male and female students, to gain coed relationship skills.
Any effective program in Guyana needs to teach how to deal with small things that trouble people, then move to big things.
Even without substance abuse, most in Guyana gets emotional and angry too quickly, because they are not able to articulate how to deal with stress and personal challenges.
Hopelessness in Guyana also plays a big part in suicide cases.
Dealing only with reasons why people commit suicide is only a band aid solution.
What a remarkably stupid thing to say? "It's a global problem"
Aren't all problems global problems??
Is it impossible for a PPPite to address a Guyanese issue with reference to Guyana without resorting to the old "bai, world market bad" excuse.
every issue is deflected by an appeal to the globe.
Poverty in Guyana? Bai Merica get nuff poor people.
Crime in Guyana? Bai Merica get nuff crime.
If suicide is affecting top government people personally, why is the government not doing more about it ?
And screwing NGOs who attempt to reduce the problem.
Globally, other countries have programs to deal with it, what has Guyana got ?
DISORGANIZATIO ON YOUR PART, DOES NOT CONSTUTUTE AN EMERGENCY ON MY PART.
