Suicide & It’s Solution

Teen suicide is an increasing phenomenon in Bangladesh. Data regarding teen suicide is quite insufficient for Bangladesh perspective, still from further studying it was found out that psychologists have identified the teenage years as one of the most difficult phases of human life. It is as a time to enjoy friendship and perform other activities that adults would not usually do, still sometimes period cause teens a large amount of stress. Many changes in the human mind take place during this period of life. To some, death may be an unknown idea and result in a great sense of worry. Others may accept death and suicide from watching news reports or from reading a novel depicting a suicidal character. Awareness and proper parenting regarding suicide, will help the youth to prevent themselves from committing suicide.

Research Questions:

During my research I tried to find out the following factors regarding the fact “suicide” and it is also important to say that these questions were intended to find out suicidal facts in Bangladesh:

1. What is the view of today’s youth towards the phenomenon “suicide”?
2. What is the proportion of today’s youth who have actually been through a phase where they thought about committing suicide?
3. What are the reasons that they thought was appropriate enough to think about or to actually attempt committing suicide.
4. What ways are compelling for the youth to commit suicide?
5. Does a suicidal person think rationally, or is it just a rash decision?
6. At which part of life does a person think about committing suicide?
7. What are the solutions for committing suicide?

Hypothesis:

Almost 80% of today’s youth in Bangladesh have actually gone through a phase where they thought about committing suicide. Also the main reason for youth to think about committing suicide is having relationship problems with their close ones.

It is a fact that the people in the age group 18 – 25 are quite vulnerable. At this age people are more prone towards taking rash decisions without thinking forward. At this age people are driven by emotions. So it is quite normal for them to think about committing suicide if any sort of complicated problem occurs.

Also in my research paper I would like to find out the reasons why youths in Bangladesh are more prone towards committing suicide, also I would like to show some solutions for this problem.

Research Methodology:

For my primary research I will conduct a survey of a representative of the general people in Dhaka including students of NSU. I will also prepare a set of questionnaire with different types of questions so that I can get a range of useful data to answer my research questions. I will also try to conduct interviews with 1 or 2 people who have attempted committing suicide.

For my secondary research, I will use internet and use standard search engines like, Google.

Organization:

My paper will be divided into several sections, the most important which are the introduction, background, data presentation-analysis and summary of findings. Within the sections my organization will be based on my research questions.

Time Table:

I hope to complete my primary & secondary research and submit the draft copy of my research paper on due time.

Request for Approval:

I hereby, request your approval for my research proposal. If you wish me to modify or improve my proposal, I will submit it after incorporating the necessary changes. I would be grateful for your advice and help, also in conducting my research and completing the project.
