Regarding the issue of university students suiciding
As a uni-student myself, i do feel great sympathy after viewing this newspaper article. The following are my views on this matter:
The suicidal rate of university students are growing in recent years. A simple explaination would be that it is due to stress from their academical/work performances or from inter-relationship matters, but all these problems are lead from one thing, the tendency to endure emotional stress.
Everyone grew up in different environments. Some grew up with plenty, during their up bringing, they did not have to worry about their wellbeing and some grew up in poverty, but with plenty or in poverty, everyone had their hopes and dreams during their childhood, which they would wish to achieve when they grow up. University is the first step into the society, students evolve and learn through their study. We would face many obsticles through that journey and it would bring us a great deal of stress. When we face something that aren't pleasant, things that we do not want to experience, we would lose faith in life. Some individuals would choose extreme methods like suiciding to "solve" their problems. This reflects people's tendency to endure stress. Therefore, i think that if we want to reduce the suicidal rate of university students then we should target the root of the problem, helping students increase their ability to endure setbacks.
Many students live alone during university life, when facing setbacks, they would have no one to turn to, nothing to relieve their stress, which will accumulate over time. Due to these factors, I propose that universities should provide councelling services to support students in difficult times and appropriate tolerance for students who achieved failing grades in order to lower the pressure in their university life.
