Suicide is now, unfortunately, a common issue in todays world. People who are suicidal tend to be depressed and they feel that the only way out is suicide. Most people who attempt suicide are confused about whether or not they want to die. They usually are desperate to find a way to remove or stop emotional pain. A suicide attempt is often a cry for help that usually ends up in a tragedy. It is said that people who commit suicide have thought about long before the actual act and plant many triggers that say they are about to end their life. But unfortunately, the triggers go without being noticed by anyone and even if they are noticed, they are ignored.

However, the friend decided to ignore it because she never thought she would actually do something like that.

A couple of years ago, I found out that my nanny in my country, Pakistan, had committed suicide. I was extremely devastated and couldnt figure out why she would do such a thing! She was always happy and she would make others happy, as well. Also, she was so beautiful; not a thing was wrong about her. But after a while, the truth started to come out. I found out that she was being harassed by the new family she was working for. She was caring for a family who had recently lost their mother, so she spent most of her time with them, taking care of them and watching over them as a mother would do. However, the teenagers she was taking care of were hostile and mean. They would say hurtful things about her religion, her caste, and how she was poor. One day when she could not take it anymore, she committed suicide by eating multiple pills. When I heard this, I was furious! I could not believe such a thing could have happened. How could anyone be so evil that they
