“You got your lesson right kid?”
“Yes, I do sir.”
“Good, now go back to your seat and don’t do anything useless.”
“Yes sir.”
Now, how many of you had that kind of a conversation with your school teacher in your school days. Almost everyone right? I myself had that kind of conversation, but not only one time, but almost like twice a week. But I didn’t understand what “lesson” was there for me to learn. But as I grew up, I got to know that almost everyone in this world will try to teach you a single lesson, whether he/she is a friend, parent, teacher, neighbor, or whoever.
But the thing they are trying to teach you is the same – Don’t get too close to anyone as they are going to leave you one day or the other. Well, being very close to anyone is not a problem. I have many close friends in my real life and on the internet as well. And guess what? They are also trying to teach you the same lesson. They may not even know it, neither will you!
Learn that single lesson, and move on. Like all those quotes on the internet say – “Learn from your own mistakes.” Fine, I learned from my mistake, now what? This is the question many of my friends ask. So, what do you really learn? You learn that you don’t have to commit the same mistake again. It doesn’t matter how much big your mistake is, it doesn’t matter that you lose all your best friends, the thing is, you learned a big lesson.
Now, many people fail to realize this, and what they do? Suicide. Well what does suicide means anyway? I came across this definition of suicide somewhere (I don’t remember the source):
Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems.
At least first analyze the problem you are in, and then take proper steps. Now you will think, “Huh-uh what this 15-year-old kid will teach me about life?” But you are wrong! This 15-year-old teen has had many bad experiences, experiences that would make any teen suicide within minutes. I am not praising myself, but I am showing you your potential. If a 15-year-old kid can do that, so can you!

Nice 1! Live every moment of ur life! Enjoy
Thanks Sriguru!
The quote about suicide you’ve used is from the movie World’s greatest dad starring Robin Williams.
Anyway, I partly agree to what you’ve said; nobody stays with you forever, at least I think so.
Read the quote on the right column of my blog. The first one. It says something similar.
Hey Sayak,
Yes, yes, The World’s Greatest Dad… Not a good movie, but this quote stuck in my mind. Anyways, thanks for the comment.
Pretty interesting and insightful thoughts, buddy. Wish you could have elaborated a little more…
Hey Parth,
Thanks for commenting. I would work on elaborating on the topic a bit more in my coming posts, thanks for the suggestion!
Now you left me wondering what i just read! :O I guess my mind is in Mangalore n that air crash
..
Nice article buddy, even though it took me a second read!!
Hey nkr4068!
Thanks for the comment. And my sympathies with all the families of the people who died in the crash. PEACE.
I feel one feels most suicidal during the teenage phase of his life call it hormones or anything. Studies, stress, relationship etc . The issue is quite grave and I am glad you took it as a topic on your blog. Following your blog!
Hey Neha,
Yea, teenage is the phase when most people commit suicides. Thanks for the follow!
Teenagers contemplate suicide when they see that there is no way out (esp. when they lack proper support system) . . . they fail to see that what they R going thru is temporary . . .
Exactly. We need to make them aware about this. And these kind of organizations are doing their job well.
Can’t agree more . . . school bullying is definitely not a rite of passage . . . kudos to you
Thanks!
