Cry for help Reflection

In one or two paragraphs, reflect on the "big picture" and "personal meaning" of the information provided. Also, make sure that you touch on the support programs that were discussed in the DVD and assess whether or not you think these kind of programs would be beneficial at ISKL, Ampang or Malaysia.




This video shows that the students who has lots of depression make them suicide and there are already a lots of students who took themselves by suicide.
I think this happening is really really bad, the statistic is growing at a critical rate who try to suicide or already dead because of their big depression. If student has the mind to suicide, they shouldn't do it. someone or some organization have to give the help for them to protect their suicide. Also in my opinion, the biggest reason why they want to suicide is,  friends and family or school.  A little thing can make people lead to suicide since it can make them in big pain. So whenever you talk or act, people should think one more time before they do. So better not make suicide students anymore.

Summary
According to the government, more than 40 South Koreans are taking their own lives. In this article, the operators here say calls from people wanting to commit suicides are increasing and there's a limit to what they can do. So others call up seeking advice on the best way to commit suicide. There are some situations where they have intervened and helped stop the person taking their life but needs to be more fundamental solution.

Big Meaning
This article can be global social and emotional. Since Korean suicide rate is increasing and it is big problem socially, it is big problem in Korea and it can be affected to global rate of suicide by lots of people taking their own lives. Also the operators in the article claims that they can't limit the people who wants to die because those kind of people have big  problems emotionally in their mind, it can't be solved by others. They have to control by themselves' emotion. Therefore this article of suicide is related to one's emotion and it is global social problem. 

Personal Meaning
This article impact me personally by giving big shock of Korean suicide rate. I didn't know that Korean's suicide rate is that much high and it is considered to big problems in the world. And as I am Korean, many suicide are happend around me. So high suicide rate means a lots of people take their own lives, don't want to live anymore because of lots of stress from the school and parents, especially in high school period. Because Korean education system is really strict, it makes students almost die in hard study training. And parents want to their children to do more, to get better grade even though they already got good grade. And I had my friend who is taken her life already because of the stress of study and friends. And I heard that my friend's friend also suicided that she can't endure her stress. Hence only around of me, there are lots of suicide, my friends are going to heaven. It is really big problem. Because of this article, I think we need to improve that the rate of suicide should be decreased, then we need to have positive mind and don't think about suicide and always love myself and my family. If there is a person who wants to suicide, I can advice him/her to protect her death. Therefore no more suicide, be happy.
