http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/1923465/students-breaking-point-hong-kong-announces Students at breaking point: Hong Kong announces emergency measures after 22 suicides since the start of the academic yearI am an American 26yr year old girl who has lived through numerous social situations, I currently live in the bustling city of Hong Kong, where kids and teens don't share the same childhood pastimes as me. Sure, culture is culture- we all can understand values, beliefs, and general way of life is going to alter. However, since moving here I have seen numerous student suicides amongst young Hong Kongers. This only leads me to believe this added pressure in the education system and lack of fun, active childhood memories is to blame. I am not a counselor, nor any specialist of this related topic, but I am a teacher who holds a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations. I am passionate towards helping people. Let's change this. Let's create a simple social platform where likeminded individuals can ask for help without being afraid and speak openly about their problems, fears or discomforts.
