This report also says that there are many rumors spread here and there regarding suicide so if you listen this type of rumors don’t stand near to that place just leave that place and if you also see that some of your friends are feeling deprssed,ot talking properly just take some time and sit near to him and ask him some questions and give him hope that i am with you. At last, I just want to say that suicide is not the ultimate solution for your problem, but it can be cured by discussing with others.
