I watched today several videos -on LIVELEAK web- on suicides cought on camera. One that disturbed me most was 4 young girls/teenagers, who made pact to jump off a high rise building roof, they set up their own video-cam on the roof to tape them as they jump off the roof ledge. I could not see their faces, but they were wearing flip-flops as people in Bkk. do, and note to the video said that they were Asiatics, and by cameras showing other building around it appeared to me that it was Bkk....so all four of them got up on the legde and one after another jumped off with a scream

...last one hesitated for few seconds

...then she went off too.

..I felt very sad about these young girls whom Devil had deceived so badly, that they saw only way out of their problems (what ever they were) is death. ..But then I looked at world suicide stats, and it shows that Thailand is very near bottom when it comes to % of suiicides per 100,000 population...about 6.5 males & 2.5 females...which is low compared to other countries, some of which have over 50-60 male suicides per 100 thous. people. So those poor unfortunte mislead girls were probably Japanese-where rash of suicides occured some years back....But how do Thais look at suicides?..is that an shameful act?

..an unforgivable act?

..a cowardly act?

...or each case is different and some can be accepted?
