Young Suicide

In a town of Shimla, there was a very passionate and high dreamer teen, Prakhar Negi. He was very fine at artistic works. At a very early stage, he started photography, especially of nature like flowers, trees, animals, creatures and many more captures of nature's beauty. Prakhar was the only child of his parent, so his parents was duly devoted and thoughtful for his career. His parents want Prakhar to be a doctor and specifically cardiologist. This was due to the sudden death of Prakhar's grandfather due to cardiac arrest.

But being a doctor was not the cup of tea of Prakhar. Days passed and Prakhar's parents gradually forced and prepared him to be a doctor. Prakhar did not liked this heavy burden on his head. So one day he decided to talk about this matter to his parents. He tried to convince his parents by suggesting huge career options in photography ahead, also the wide range of salaries and career opportunities abroad and many more photography related benefits. But Prakhar's parents stood like a rock and did not give a thought to his thinking. They said that Prakhar will definitely not become a photographer and should aim to be a cardiologist.

Days passed, and Prakhar gradually left the dreams of becoming a photographer. He also gifted his DSLR camera to a cousin sister. But gradually Prakhar started getting depressed and living alone. He did not find interest in medical studies. Soon he really went into depression. But his parents did not understood his state of mind ,instead they thought that he is just tired due to studies.

One day when Prakahr's mom knocked the door of room to serve him a cup of coffee, Prakhar did not opened the door. After an hour of no response, his father broke the door, and found Prakhar hanging from the ceiling fan. So this was a young suicide which resulted due to confusion between dreams and respect of parents. This was not a suicide , basically it was a murder by so called  beliefs and virtues of society . The Prakhar's suicide was an eye opener for his as well as for every parent who impose their aims and ambitions on their kids just to boast out loudly. But in doing so they just sabotaged. His death gave his parents a lesson that don't try to make your kid which you want him to be , let him decide his own fate.
