* I think it's a drastic measure to take your own life because of a problem. Life is much more important than anything in the world. You just have to stay positive and try to find ways, rather than ending your life because you can't find any solutions immediately to it. I believe problems are given by God, for us to acknowledge his presence and to have faith in Him.*
