Suicide rate in Thailand hits half-decade peak despite prevention efforts

Featured Replies

Bullying unfortunately has crossed the boundries of social media and has become a despicable daily routine when having to deal with your jerk-cum-as***le of the day, unfortunately. And it takes many different forms.

    I wonder how much of those suicides are related to social media. There was a time when we could avoid bullies in school, at work or other places. We went home and closed the door. Now, with

  • Plenty of bullies and stalkers on this forum. Can't even post a thread on 'cook in sauces' without suffering frequent personal attacks from the 'haters'.

  • What prevention efforts are made in Thailand?? I never see anything on TV such as a phonenumber for people in mental problems, no psychiatrist psychologists to be found anywhere maybe only in Bangkok.

You're right. It's a bit strange to complain about Facebook via posting on here. The only difference is that here the attacks are anonymous, whereas your enemies on Facebook are usually known.

 

Facebook is going down fast anyway. The younger generations are leaning toward other media, Tiktok the #1 choice now. Now the stress is not so much about bullying, but how many likes and followers they have. If the youngsters can't get likes they are more likely to end their lives prematurely due to the despair caused by being unpopular.

What if the worst thing that happened to you is the best thing?

 

What if you have a total break down then rebuild yourself from the ground up?

 

What if you become so mentally tough that nothing fazes you?

 

What if you can become happy without needing anything or anyone?

In 2018, while I was having a life threatening surgery, my brother convinced my daughter to go to the police and tell complete lies about her life in Thailand without a future, about how she was treated in Thailand as a mixed nationality, etc.

My brother succeeded in his plan and I lost my 16 year old daughter.

She believed my brother's promises that she would be rich and have a bright future.

But barely 9 months later, I received an email from the Belgian authorities that she tried to commit suicide and they asked me to come back ASAP.

I went to Belgium, but my daughter didn't want to return to Thailand because of the bad things she said.

In the following years, she tried to commit suicide 2 times and she lives now in youth house where she is given drugs to keep her happy.

And you want me to believe your crap about God?

The whole story can be read at:

She listened to the devil.

As the current most prolific contributor on Asean Now, what if you had to try to live without this forum? What if you had to stop asking dumb questions on here? What would you do with your spare time? Would you contemplate suicide?

Probably be better off. Funny the 50 baht arguments though.

 

What questions were dumb? Lots of dumb arguments here. Everyday.

 

Ive done more in 12 months than others in 10 years.
