It is sad that the institution that he chose did not pick up signs that he was in this predicament. Surely, if there were counsellors or mentors at the institution they would have recognised the danger signs. It just show that we don't live in a caring society only in name but not in actions and that it is a hypocritical society which we live in.

The environment and his lecturers should have been more proactive in picking up the warning signs. It shows the cold and insular environment that the institution has and perhaps he felt that there weren't people that cared for his problems especially depression. It is a shame that an institution that is so renoun should actually have people trained to mentor and supervise the wellbeing of students and see that people don't go over the cliff left unsupervised. Today we see a couple get convicted of crimes that show that our youth are suffering from delinquency and the defects of our society that is not paying attention to the emotional needs of people. We pay to much attention to the material aspects of life and not enough thought goes into wellbeing and balance state of mind and health. It is sad that we are becoming a mindless society only bent on prosecuting victims of a failed society.

To be honest, nobody really cares. Everyone is to busy with their own life to notice. Some find it easier to suffer in silence than to reach out I suppose. Nobody can read other people's thoughts.

Well, I kinda went through what this fellow did.

Agree, society can't be bothered about people these days whether you are alive or not it doesn't matter to them.
