Northern Ireland is in shock - in recent days have committed suicide here ... children. Eleven year old girl committed suicide on Thursday, thirteen died Friday. Youth suicide is a dramatic problem of this country.
Nobody really knows why it happens. Why do young people in Northern Ireland suddenly no longer want to live, when in fact his life is still ahead of them. Northern Ireland is in third place in Europe in terms of average number of suicides in the population. Worryingly, the number is increasing from year to year. And this is the case for years. Why? About this may try to write at the end.
First facts. All of Ireland - with a special place in the North - is one of the highest suicide rates throughout the EU for young people. Only in 2008, committed suicide in NI 282 people. Given that a population of Northern Ireland is a little more than the 1.2 million inhabitants are getting pretty dark. Only during the last holiday in the area of \u200b\u200bBelfast to a suicidal death, decided to close to thirty teens.
In some places in Belfast, is even worse - in the words of the leader of Sinn Fein, the Catholic neighborhoods of West and North Belfast in 2010 only took their own lives in 1921 of young people. Young, ie under 25 years of age. Almost two thirds of killing the people of Northern Ireland are men and 35 years of age. - More young people die on their own hand rather than a result of road accidents - Gerry Adams said in October 2010 for a special vigil dedicated to the memory of another victim of suicide. About Ardoyne I wrote "last" - that is, on the occasion of one of the last entries that tell of the July riots in this part of northern Belfast. This place deserves serious, however, a separate story. This is one of the places in Belfast, where the number of suicides, and so much more than a high local average. I recommend wyguglanie fotocastu "Ardoyne Suicides" . I do not give a link because it is currently not available - I hope that disappeared from the network only for a time, because the document is moving.
Suicide is increasing, especially among young men. And now we are starting to kill the children. Ciara Doherty was 11 years old. Family found dead in the bathroom on a Friday night. The day before, found a 13 year old friend Martin Rooney, the boy died after being brought to the hospital. Both lived on the outskirts of west Belfast. She porządniejszej district, he had more social housing estate. If you click here, and you cast Ludka to see a picture of the street at point A, see the characteristic for a group of teenagers poorer neighborhoods, watching the stranger - and the car looks, indeed, Uncle G. vehicle as strangers. Perhaps one of the characters with blurred faces, it is Marty? ...
Adults are scared. Nobody knows why it happened. Ciara was reportedly threatened at school, neighbors reported that there was a small, quiet, calm, and do not look even at his age.
on Friday ended with him also 31-year-old Karen Cromie . Athlete, a participant at the Paralympics, was in the frame for Great Britain rowing competitions in 2012 in London. From her biography that seemed to be full of life and plans. Meanwhile, I once tried to jump off a bridge over the highway from Bangor to Belfast (for the locals: where to entering Ikea, the flowers are at the top), once managed to stop her, on Friday, despite a police negotiator work - jumped ... On Friday also killed 20-year-old in north Belfast ...
appears to be a curse, which takes place in Northern Ireland. Though now, more than a decade after the conflict is still something demanded blood and suffering. As if this place was cursed. You can laugh some such mysticism, but I had once mentioned here that Ireland is full of ghosts ... More scientifically - it is unfortunate latitude with long evenings and a little sunshine, rain, wind and depressing atmosphere. For this lack of prospects for young people who have wasted a chance to break out of Piekielko social housing estates. For this specific code enforced by the "silnorękich" in such neighborhoods - beatings by paramilitary groups are just one of the main causes of suicides of young men, problems with drugs and alcohol, lack of activities, work, resulting in a further lack of prospects ...
But why kill the kids? Why kill a young boy who starts a promising career in boxing is? Why do young people kill themselves with might not be rich, but "normal" families living peacefully without any major problems would seem. That in Northern Ireland, no one knows.
