Suicide is a scary word. Isn’t it scary to think about what final thoughts of the person were, what drove that person ‘over the edge’?

As scary as suicides are, India is no stranger them. Crime Records Bureau figures show India’s suicide rate has risen 8 per cent a year for 10 years. According to a 2007 estimate, 45 percent of suicides involve people between 15 and 29. Also, WHO lists suicide among the top three causes of death in the age groups between 15 and 35.

Why do people take this ultimate step, of ending their lives? Here is a heart-wrenching video of a girl who is about to commit suicide. Make sure you watch till the end.
