For the past few days, I've been watching the news and there's this 11-year old girl who caught everyone's attention. A girl who took suicide because of the poverty and hunger she is experiencing.
What's the major cause of suicide? The answer: Depression which is often undiagnosed and untreated.
The girl who did the act can't go to school primarily because of financial reasons. She is really unhappy about their situation yet can't do anything about it because for a normal kid like her, it is actually not her job to find the resources needed for her schooling, it is her parent's. Practically speaking, because of the poverty, her parents prioritized the basic needs which is food and shelter. After the incident, it is discovered that she have kept a diary of her accounting the story of her grief which was discovered after the suicide took place.
Then after hearing the news on television, a lot of people donated some goods but everything is too late-the girl's life is gone.
Do we really have to be informed of this kind of event where an innocent life has to be sacrificed before we make an act? Is it worth the life of the kid? This actually appalled me and the many but this should wake the society so that we won't get to see more of this depressing situation.

No, not again.
Oh, for the next meetings, I can't afford what I did today which is to come 1hr late to school.
I woke up 6:20am when the orientation for my pe class is supposed to be 7am! (Good thing, it's only orientation and I have two of my classmates who attended it.) I left the house 6:50am and got to school by 8 in the morning! Definitely, the orientation is finished when I came and I was absent for two hours, I think, because the class is from 7-9 not considering that the orientation is only for 30mins! And for that, I only have five hours to get an FA on that class! (This also happened to me last semester when my PE was table tennis) TG, it's already done because I don't want to deal with that tormenting prof anymore! ha ha, But again, there are still a lot of pe meetings left for the rest of the 2nd semester! Good luck to me! lol.
