How many times have you heard the phrase, "real men don't cry", or "man up". Too many times, we're being asked to conform to what society thinks we should be, and it almost never works out well.
There seems to be a discrepancy between female and male suicide rates. The so-called "stronger gender" seems to end it more often than the "weaker one". The recent story of Atul Shubash has rocked our country and has brought back another demon to the surface that has been lurking under the shadows for a long time, waiting to be talked about: “Suicide and men”.
We all know, however unfortunately, some man who has chosen to end it all because it was becoming too much. From joblessness, failure in business to broken families, the list behind men ending their lives goes on.
