Below is a link about recent suicides that have happened in South Korea due to grades and examinations. It's bleak. And these kind of stories are too frequent in S.K., which has one of the highest suicide rate among students in the world. Here's a quote from the article:
"South Korea as a whole ranks first among O.E.C.D. nations in suicide and is routinely among the leaders in developed nations. Subway stations in Seoul have barriers to prevent people from jumping in front of arriving trains, and eight bridges in the capital have installed closed-circuit suicide-watch cameras."
Feel free to read the article.
And if your not feeling up for it, at least say a prayer.
