A student at Yaba College of Technology in Lagos has made a heartbreaking attempt at taking her own life after being heartbroken by her boyfriend. In a video that has gone viral, the student allegedly consumed insecticide and was rushed to the hospital.
The tragic incident has sparked discussions among social media users about the importance of emotional intelligence, particularly in the face of tough times. Teenage love, which often starts with happiness, has been criticized for frequently ending in depression.
One user wrote, “More reason why I don’t encourage teenage love at all. It often starts with so much happiness, looks incredible and then ends in depression.”
Regardless of what led to the student’s action, it is a reminder of the importance of knowing one’s purpose in life. As Fitmyke put it, “When you don’t know your purpose in life, this is how we waste it.”
This unfortunate event highlights the need for increased support and resources for students, especially in dealing with mental health issues and heartbreak. The college administration should take appropriate measures to ensure that their students have access to the help they need, so they don’t resort to such extreme measures.
