lets tell our children that pregnancy or being hiv positive is not the end of the world
In most cases, it is unwanted pregnances that cause such suicides.just legalise abortion to prevent loss of life..
Its unfortunate that the girl decided to terminate her life at a tender age. These things happen due to peer pressure. MHRIP
Too bad MHSRIP!!!!!
Shame hope you died as a Virgin!!!!
At 21 I wonder whether she was a virgin
This is really sad!!!
Anyway, as someone who has experienced the death of a close relative through suicide, all I can say is that suicide is a complicated issue. What goes on in a person’s head for them to reach a point where they feel there is nothing left for them to to live for is something even psychologists will never fully understand. Usually suicide victims suffer in silence, someone can be laughing and appear to be full of life one minute and hung themselves the next.
It is always a shame and shock, especially at such a tender age, for someone to think their problems are insurmountable and feel that the only solution is to kill themselves.
what if she wasn’t a virgin u idiots, all u have to do is feel sorry 4 her n hope she is in a better place…………
Do not exclude poverty also .MHRIP!!!
May be she was dumped and then realised she was pregnant.she was scared of her parents . at least these days gals are lucky cos they can stil back to school after delivering not in our days 80, 90s that meant the end of school.
this is because of Recycled Bin (RB) for failing to run the country properly !
let them test her for two things:hiv and pregnancy
I feel pitty for the parents who have spent a lot on their useless daughter.Young girls, to be pregnant is not the end of your life.You either being damped by your boy friend or to be chased out by your fierce parents never try to kill your selves.Just pray things, work out.
21, grade 11 and living in Kabompo, that could be pretty depressing….
Am sure the chap who made up said no to the same.It is the case of most of the time in this school going children.Feering the unkown
Its very Sad indeed seeing our age mate taking their lives in such a way.M.H.S.R.I.P
@14- u v med me laugh. Nyc analysis. MHSRIP
The police must ensure that a thorough investigation is carried out. Finger prints taken. Check the not and rule out that it was not done by someone else. She could have been murdered and hang by her slayers. MHSRIEP. The police must ensure that a thorough investigation is carried out. Finger prints taken.

Sad..MHSRIP. Fruits of sex are the likely cause of death.
May the lord bring comfort to the grieving family.
MHSRIP ITS REALY SAD 2 LOSE A FUTURE FIRST LADY. WHATEVER REASON SHE HAD IT WAS NOT SURPOSE 2 TERMINATE HER LIFE IN THAT WAYMHSRIP ITS REALY SAD 2 LOSE A FUTURE FIRST LADY. WHATEVER REASON SHE HAD IT WAS NOT SURPOSE 2 TERMINATE HER LIFE IN THAT WAY
Yambayamba at # 7 is almost right.Cases of suicide are hard to understand,but what is cardinal is to know that people who succeede in their attempts to terminate their lives grow a feeling of worthlessness and like # 7 says these people see nothing to live for. But these people are not without signs and if observed by careful individuals there will always be something strange in their behaviour: There is generally, loss of interest in their environment, aloofness, or even depression. This is not a matter to laugh at it is a real psychological problem. Once these symptoms are obesrved people near a person exhibiting such signa need not leave this person alone. And seek the services of a counsellor. Not psycho socio counsellor.
Its neither poverty nor pregnancy that lead to suicide. She had differences wth her friends.
