Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suriyadev Tripathi, Director of the Moral Center (Public Organization) mentioned the case of a Mathayom 6 student who decided to end his life due to the problem of being tricked by a fraudster into paying installments for his iPhone. Parents play the biggest role. Not only when there is a crisis. But communication within the home before the incident is the most important thing. Which doesn't have to be just parents. but also include other adults who can help talk and listen to problems. Build trust with children By using cases that occur in society as examples. It will help build immunity and reduce tragic events. Including frank discussions about the family's status will help children understand their parents' reasons and readiness more.
“There are a lot of different news happening right now. Take a brief case Then let's try to listen. That is, adults talk less. listen more And good listening is listening using open-ended questions. How do you feel when you see it? If something like this happens, how will you solve the problem? Making it happen continuously until there is a process where each other is listened to and understood. When he encountered a real event He will return to consult. Even if parents are busy or unavailable, we can communicate that mother is busy right now. I love you. I'm worried about you. I'm happy to listen. But I need a little time. This type of signal will be immediately felt by the child.”
“For the children's friends and kind adults who may be ready to be good listeners, 3 signs that you should not be complacent are: 1. Messages that can be assessed as being at risk for their lives. 2. Messages that are risky and dangerous to other people's lives and 3. Messages sent with strong emotions. If left unchecked, it may cause destruction. If he falls into any of these three areas, within 24 hours we must find a way to reach him in order to stop violence and disaster from occurring.”
"Doctor Dew" also talks about education in schools that Life subjects should be added. Improving teaching styles, such as group activities Create a hypothetical situation within the classroom. To be aware of deception Don't fall prey to scammers. The education system must keep up with the situation in society. So that the children who will graduate will be ready to deal with temptations that may arise.
As for the content of the letter written before his death, Do you think it's related to depression? Assoc.Prof.Dr.Suriyadew give an opinion that For teenagers in terms of maturity When you have strong emotions Plus not knowing who to consult. It may be a factor that causes such a decision to occur. Especially in middle adolescence where hormones stimulate emotions more than other ages. If you don't practice managing your emotions or stress well enough, There will be decisions that lead to tragic events.
In addition, there is also the case of using social media. or creating values in the use of various objects because many homes spend too much money raising children or promote materialism to your children It may cause children to put pressure on each other among their friends. Parents should give more love and use their parenting spirit in raising their children. Reduce the use of luxury items. along with suggestions on how to talk with children If parents have time constraints that may require them to work I didn't raise my own child. The emphasis should be on asking positive questions and expressing concern. Questions should not be used in a catchy way. It will make it easier for children to open up and talk about problems.
For the perspective of the perpetrator Considered to be a bad, unconscionable act. Severe laws should be applied. Concentrated to manage Nowadays, problems like this occur often. It is best for adults to help build their children's immunity before something happens. No matter what happens, don't panic. Let him be returned to his parents' arms first. Believe that if you can do this, there will be no loss. -Thai news agency
