The sad childhood of Sahar is in a troubled family. She is the only child and has no one to talk to and share the sadness and sorrow that her family has brought upon her.
Sahar’s parents got married based on a family relationship. At a very young age, 16 and 18 years old. Sahar was born because of the pressure from her father’s family, who would tell her mother, “Why aren’t you having a child?”
Sahar remembers from the age of four or five that all her sadness and sorrow came from feeling lonely and being afraid that her parents would separate. At the age of eight, the pressure on her intensified and she became afraid of growing up.
In such circumstances, Sahar and her family went to her grandfather’s village. A place that Sahar had no interest in. Sahar is tired of her situation. She remembers going to a room where she knew no one would come and finding two needles and plugging them into

What happens when someone commits suicide?

I am describing the life story of Sahar for Saba Alaleh, a clinical psychologist, and I ask her to analyze it from the perspective of an expert. According to Saba Alaleh, the phenomenon of suicide in children and adolescents is completely different from that of adults.

Due to the fact that children have not yet reached full brain development, their perspective on suicide is different. “My mom kills you,” the child takes the gun towards his mother and she closes her eyes and pretends to be dead, then opens her eyes and comes back to life.” This is similar to how children view death. In adolescence, they come to a general understanding, but they have not yet reached complete stability and consistency. One of the reasons for suicide in children and adolescents is due to this lack of proper understanding of irreversibility. They do not know that they may actually die as a result of their actions.

It is possible that the individual’s intention behind suicide is for attention. In

Inefficient education system

Saba Alaleh believes that one of the biggest criticisms of the education system is that ideology has been given top priority. As a result, standard education is out of reach. According to her, we need to teach problem-solving and crisis management skills to children and adolescents in our education system. Unfortunately, this is not a priority in our education system and it is even considered taboo, such as discussing suicide. This issue also applies to families. This psychologist says that families need to be criticized in this regard as well. Families do not talk about suicide with their children and adolescents. As a result, children and adolescents only hear about it when someone has committed suicide. (Sahar also had this experience) We need to fully inform and honestly talk to children and adolescents. We need to tell them about this issue and even explain the reasons behind it, according to their age. Parents and those responsible for educating children and adolescents should be creative enough to provide them with the necessary education and answers according

Is suicide different in our country compared to the rest of the world?

Suicide has existed in all societies since ancient times. According to Saba Alaleh, however, it can be boldly stated that countries in unstable conditions have a much higher suicide rate.

Ms. Alaleh says: “We are currently living in an unstable situation in Iran. We have no job security or the ability to plan for the future. In a relatively unstable life, the risks are higher. Without security and stability in society, the suicide rate increases.”

She also emphasizes the multidimensional nature of the decision to commit suicide in adults and believes that this issue should be examined on a case-by-case basis. She says it is true that we can say that people who have a history of suicide in childhood or come from relatively unstable families are more susceptible to suicide in adulthood, but this cannot be generalized to everyone.

According to this psychologist, failure and insecurity in adulthood are issues that can lead a person towards wrong decisions in life. And when you face discrimination, when you are in relatively

The first step is when someone close to you is prone to suicide.

After leaving behind that unpleasant period, Sahar is now finishing her third decade of life. She is married and a mother of two children. Sahar is a successful sociologist and journalist.

She tells me that during this time, she has had and still has friends who have suffered from depression and had or have thoughts of suicide.

Sahar says, “I always told them that whenever they feel like something is happening, call me beforehand and I will talk to them and try to take away their loneliness in that moment. We sit together, analyze the problem, and find a solution. I recommend talking to a psychoanalyst and having faith in something, which can be very helpful.”

Saba Alaleh, a clinical psychologist, insists that we should not advise someone who is prone to suicide on what to do. According to her, the first step should be to create a safe environment for these individuals.

Saba Alaleh says that we have a habit of saying things like,
