When a person is depressed, he/she should find ways to get a solution to resolve the problem.

Losing hope and giving up on trying can depress a person so much that he/she sometimes thinks of committing suicide. This is the last option or may be never a option to be even thought of.

We should not allow failure to get to our minds and must stand up again to fight back more stronger. However, there are many people out there who do not think a second before committing suicide.
