How do firmer ways prevent suicide?

We have become a society that expects someone else to be responsible for the things that WE ourselves should be in control of.
Too uch navel gazing is bad for you.
Perhaps if people actually talked to one another(face to face) instead of relying on mobile phones and devices to communicate.

There has been a whole generation who went to war and fought for this country to be a free democracy.....people who saw and dealt with atrocities as young and impressionable people. Those people came home and rebuilt the country.......if anyone had the right to be traumatised, to be affected and demoralised by the things that went on during that time, then it was these young men and women.

They had built strategies for dealing with the bad/unhappy things in their lives.

Maybe the people of today have expectations which are too high.....we can chase happiness all we want, but sometimes it isn't something external( a new car, a better house, a nice holiday)sometimes happiness is accepting the life we have and making the best of it.
