Humza | 6 years ago | Reply Schools and universities need to have psychological support workers and a hotline to help students as is done in Europe and North America. Despite that countless students in America commit suicide when they can't face the prospect of poor results and social problems. Suicide is the biggest cause of death for young people in the West. If there is better psychological and emotional support these young people could be better helped.
