SUICIDE

Suicide is the act of killing one's self intentionally.
Everyone in society has a role to play in preventing suicide, whether it may be government organizations, friends and family members or even faith groups. 

How does this affect society?

When we as part of society lose people through suicide, it burdens society because there could be potential value in individuals who commits suicide, especially to the workforce.

Suicide occurs for a number of reasons, some of these reasons are:

* Depression

* Decrease in potential production affects society's productivity. Persons who could be of potential value to society are lost to suicide and somehow manage to hurt society.

* Psychological disorder

* Drug abuse

* Low tolerance for crisis

* Having less people to govern can and will have a direct impact on society. If there is a decrease in population due to suicide, then this can cause under population of a country.
