How to Prevent Suicide: Real Advice, Hopeful Words, and a Life-Saving Message

Choose Life, Not Suicide: Hold On, The Light Will Come

While flipping through the pages of newspapers, large articles on suicide often catch the eye. Suicide has now become a regular occurrence. If we analyze news from the past few years, we will see that the tendency toward suicide is steadily increasing.

However, there seems to be no significant initiative to bring people back from the edge of suicide. We hardly see thoughtful articles in the newspapers or awareness campaigns anywhere. Even on electronic media, we don’t come across talk shows or educational programs addressing the issue. Instead, these media outlets often dramatize suicide stories, presenting them as if they were part of some sensational drama.

Media in our country may not contribute to raising awareness, but they certainly seem to take on the role of mocking human struggles, almost word for word.

At this moment, it is crucial that we all become aware and work together to discourage the rising tendency of suicide in society.

You Think You're Weak? No—You're Much More Than That

You are stronger than you think. Every challenge is an opportunity for personal growth. Life is never a smooth road. Challenges, failures, despair—these are all part of the journey. But within these hardships lies the opportunity to build yourself.

If we keep certain things in mind, the tendency toward suicide may decrease. For example, one quote from Hero Alom can actually save a life. He once said beautifully:

“I’m surviving despite all the kicks and insults from people. Why are you, an educated person, choosing the path of suicide?”

This statement isn’t just humorous—it’s reality. While many mock Hero Alom, he made a deeply insightful comment about choosing life over suicide. I found his words genuinely meaningful.

Those who consider suicide or have attempted it may find this quote unsettling—but perhaps that discomfort is the push they need to stand up and keep moving forward.

Mental Struggles Don’t Mean It's Over

If any difficulties come in your life, do not be disappointed. Just think: “It’s okay to not be okay.” If life feels heavy, please don’t isolate yourself. Reach out for help. Cry, talk, vent—but don’t give up. You’ll see, the problem will be resolved sooner than you think.

Before choosing the path of suicide, ask yourself: what message are you leaving behind? You want to escape because the world didn’t give you what you wanted—but have you given anything to the world? You won't gain anything through suicide, nor will the world benefit from your absence.

Hope is a powerful force in our human life. Just hold on—brighter days are coming.

You Have to Realize the Value of Life

You need to understand your worth. Sometimes, pause and reflect on life. Ask yourself: why was I born? What is the purpose of my existence? How can I contribute to the world? If you can find answers to these questions, thoughts of suicide will permanently disappear from your mind.

People die in countless ways in this world—but if you witness the desperation of those who are dying just to live a few more moments, you will realize how precious life truly is.

We all deserve happiness. But to be happy, we must be patient. Suicide is not the solution—real happiness comes from solving problems and enjoying life.

We Are Born as Humans—We Must Also Embrace Responsibility

Our Creator made us human—this in itself implies that we are responsible beings. We have the ability to understand. If, despite this understanding, we trap ourselves in ignorance and choose the path of suicide, then our very identity as humans comes into question. Blaming someone else before taking one’s own life is a sign of ignorance. No truly wise person ever chooses the path of self-destruction.

Final Words:

Life is hard, but giving up is never the answer. You are not alone. Speak up, reach out—light is just around the corner. Remember:
