We are a Nation with no respect for Human life.We don't bring Our Kids up to learn how to respect.We grow up not respecting each other,we don't respect ourselves,we don't prosperity,in fact we respect nothing in life.Is the reason people voted to run the affairs of the Nation Lord it over us,because of lack of respect.We behave as if we are not living in a society.In Ghana it is each one for himself.Everybody is on his/her own.Therefore it is no wonder that ,with th economy situation in the Country,people decide to end it all when they are in a situation without hope.Untill we change our attitude and put human life in the centre of our policies it will even get worse.In any normal society people should to able to rely on each other,to able to build a strong society.

Lack of jobs and extreme financial difficulties can lead to depression and hopelessness. I was depressed and suicidal at some point and I started attending church for prayers but it got worse as the little money I had rather went into church coffers through multiple collection in a day's church attendance and tithes. In addition, the Rev. ministers had sex with most of the girls in the church when we were like 14-17 yrs old when our parents asked us to go to their houses to wash their clothes and cook for them. The pastors even have sex with some of the married women in the church and women rather pay the pastors indirectly through collection and tithes. But at Lapaz women rather get paid by men through prostitution. That's one of the advantages prostitution have over the church in my case.
Unlike men who have higher suicidal
rate, women can use their vagina to bail them out. So one of my tribe's ladies from a nearby village I met in Accra introduced me into prostitution at Accra-Lapaz which is very lucrative. Last

A man had just been laid off from work. He was standing on the railing of a high bridge getting ready to jump off, when he happened to look down and see a little man with no arms dancing all around on the river bank below.

He thought, "Life isn't so bad after all," and got off the railing.

He then walked down to the river bank to thank the little man for saving his life.

"Thank you," he said. "I was going to jump off that bridge and kill myself, but when I saw you dancing even though you have no arms, I changed my mind."

"Dancing? I'm not dancing!" the armless man replied bitterly ... "My asshole itches, and I can't scratch it!"

It makes no sense to send people to prison for attempting to commit suicide. The person may be depressed or crying out for help and to jail the person is beyond comprehensible. Help should be given to such individuals in terms of mental health and quality living standards instead of sending them to jail.
