The tragic suicide of a 14-year-old in Kandivali highlights the silent going through of youth and the urgent need for open discussion, mental health awareness,

The recent incident in Kandivali has shocked the entire Mumbai. A 14 -year -old boy committed suicide, and the video going viral on social media shows his silent suffering painfully. The saddest thing was that the neighbors and family members were trying to stop him, constantly calling him to back. But his voices could not bridge the emotional distance that he had already crossed.

This tragedy exposes a bitter truth - many teenagers move inside themselves with invisible emotional burden. It is not easy to see children's suffering and signs in a high-speed city like Mumbai, where everyone is in the race for something or the other. This incident of Kandivali is not just the death of a child, but it is a warning for our society that now the time has come to take mental health seriously.

We have to understand that silence suffering is a truth. Everyone who is struggling does not reveal it. Sometimes this pain is hidden behind the smile, school uniform, or calm rooms. Awareness of mental health should start from home, schools and with the circles of friendship. Children should feel that they can express their discomfort, fear and confusion openly. They need to know that they are not alone.

Creating a safe environment, maintaining faith and encouraging open interaction can save life. Parents, teachers and friends-everyone should come to hear without judge. It is not necessary that we have all the answers, but only to be present and support the greatest help.The Kandivali boy’s story must not become just another viral moment. It must spark a movement toward compassion, mental health support, and emotional education. Let’s remember him by changing how we listen, how we talk, and how we care for every child who feels unheard in a world full of noise.
