That link was pulled down. I think the boy survived, wish him well...
My view on this is that, I think we have spoiled our kids so much that, even a small disagreement with them sends them ragging with anger to a point of suicide.
S(he) wants to go for summer holiday in US you say zii!
S(he) wants to change to Brookhouse School and you say nah!
S(he) wants a new car for birthday and you say zii...
Doesn't that explain why most if not all of these cases are from upper market digz!

Parents are not always to blame. Infact, I doubt most adult suicides have anything to do with parents and how one was brought up
There are many factors: competition, peer pressure, drugs..things as a parent you cannot control
I know of 2 suicides for guys I schooled with in secondary school. People we all thought were bright but something went wrong in their college life. They didn't even finish college
Who comes up with the suicide theory? Why not murder made to look like a suicide? Some of these Brats are the fronts for their big shot Daddy's dirty deals. On numerous occasions, our media report of deals by "a son or daughter of a powerful politician." These deals also go bad and someone has to pay for it. Why not this "son or daughter of a powerful politician." As a sample, I give you the Akashas. Just a though. Just a though. Is it due to this so-called Blue Whale suicide game!

I tend to think ' we' have pushed our kids so hard to be something maybe we were not at their age or maybe we have left them to view and interpret life for themselves. Could we be equating ability to provide to instilling life-saving values. Has money taken centre stage to equate success? Now we need answers. It is not a rich man's problem. Even in rural Kenya young men are committing suicide. Josiah GathuraNot long ago, the son of Kirieni 'was found dead' in his house. Those who seem to know cited suicide. As part and parcel of the ' we' I refuse to accept responsibility for ' our' kids choices. Why would you share or agree that it's you who should feel some responsibility for someone's decisions and choices? That said, condolences to the family. It's very sad to have a dead child. It's a crazy society that we live in...but at the end of the day everyone makes a personal well informed decision...Mimi hata maisha iwe ngumu aje I can never take my life...Period...do "we" push our kids...yes we do...the pressure to succeed is evident... Hhmmmmm, brother. But why do you insist on "yes we do"?
