Why Suicide?
by Cassie Kwok

Many of us were saddened and shocked to hear of Leslie Cheung's death on April 1, 2003, of an apparent suicide. To take one's own life, one must feel so helpless to the point that he/she believes there is absolutely no solution to their problem, or that they cannot accept the reality of a situation. The only answer is to die. Everyone is probably asking, why?

What was it that pushed him to the edge? Where were his friends when he needed them most? Were his motives so compelling that they were worth dying for? We may never know the real reasons, but some of us might feel that if we had even the slightest hint there was a potential for such an action, perhaps we could have helped to prevent it.

Suicide can be prevented. While some suicides occur without any outward warning, most do not. The most effective way to prevent suicide among loved ones is to learn how to recognize the signs of someone at risk, take those signs seriously and know how to respond to them. The emotional crises that usually precede suicide are most often both recognizable and treatable.
