RE: Jong-Hyun Kim and the Phenomena of Youth Suicide in Korea

in #life7 years ago

Solid post. Sadly suicide is all too common in Korea. Living there it is clear as to how much pressure is put on children to be successful at such a young age. This among other things leads to a stressful upbringing. Societal pressures clearly are having a negative impact on people of all ages but in particular impressionable youth.

Sort:  

What's even worse is a societal inability to talk about that very pressure openly. This happens again and again and again, and yet little is done.

Thanks for the comment @eyeofthemind!
