webfact Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Third-year Kasetsart student jumps from eighth floor to death By The Nation Picture: Thai Rath A third-year student of Kasetsart University fell to her death from the eighth floor of a campus building early on Wednesday. Bang Khen police station was alerted at 4.30am that a 21-year-old student of the Faculty of Business Administration had been found dead outside a 10-storey building at the Bang Khen campus. A group of early-bird students studying ahead of a morning exam heard a loud noise, checked the area and found the body. The victim was wearing a student uniform but no shoes. Police found her sandals, a bottle of drinking water and her bag on a balcony on the eighth floor. She had left a note in her mobile phone for her father, apologising and saying she was not strong enough. Attached to the note, which was written at 7.07pm on Tuesday, were the mobile phone numbers of her parents. The body was sent for autopsy at Bhumibol Hospital. Security guards said the building was normally closed at 8pm so the student may have hidden inside since Tuesday evening.

Bangkok Barry Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 It seems to be common here that people hide their feelings, maybe to save face I don't know. Or it might be because they are discouraged from expressing themselves by teachers or others and then can't communicate their problems. As an aside, why do Asians always seem to take off their shoes before killing themselves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you presume that her family and friends did not recognize that she was stressed? They well may have been like millions of parents around the world struggling to understand their own kids and figure out how to reach them. When my niece tried to kill herself at age 18, it came as a shock to all because she hid her anguish well; top grades, always smiling, seemingly well adjusted...nobody could understand, including the girl herself. She didn't know why she secretly hated herself and considered herself a fraud. It wasn't until we all began to understand the insidious nature of teenage depression and how, like a cancer, it hides until it's frequently too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfiddler Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 So sad that she did not appear to have anyone to discuss her problems with. They say a problem shared is a problem halved, and the best way to see things straight is to discuss with sensible friends. So sad ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRich Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Another sad story ... shame that young people put too much emotional emphasis on something that later in life they would have looked back on as a small matter ... and not the end of the world.

A1Str8 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I dont understand these people. She didnt consider herself strong enough to graduate from that uni and things of that nature, but she had the balls to jump off the 8th floor. Either way, it is a sad thing.
