 What's up beautiful people my name is Karen Jisa and this is Unfinished where we get to finish unfinished business. We are in the streets of Nairobi ready to break down the condosation that revolves around suicide. Yes, many a times when people feel like giving up especially now that the economy is a bit tight and people are feeling like I gotta let go. Do not do it just yet. This is a condosation that we're going to have and I hope it brightens up your day. Karibuni Sana head over to our Facebook page and let us know what you think about this four questions. They say that suicide is the act of injuring oneself to the point of death. Now suicide cases have gone up in our country and the rest of the world. However in some countries they have managed to decriminalize suicide. It brings us to a first question. Why do you think suicide is considered a crime in some countries? Suicide basically is mostly brought by maybe how the child has been brought up number one. Then there's some families where the brought up is not okay and basically what I've experienced is a polygamous family where the child has been abandoned and was the but given and he has been abandoned struggling himself to educate himself. So basically getting all this pressure from the world and he's struggling alone and the parents also are there you see and the other children you see what they are going through they have been educated well. So you see you get all this pressure considering why am I like this you see why why me like why why the other kids are being I mean the the parents are taking care of them and me I'm just struggling on myself. So I think basically always there comes where they always say come on Evee Basi watch and to teach me how to suicide let let me take my life so that I can be this. So that's basically I think that's what bring suicide. Then another thing peer pressure this the lifestyle how some people are what the youths live their life and how you live your life so if you put this into comparison then you realize that your life is more pathetic than the other person so basically comparison of youth youthful life and peer pressure from the other youths. It's your own decision so I don't think it can be a crime and the crime is usually something that is done against somebody and you've just done it to yourself so I don't think it can be a crime. Suicide on the first part is criminalizing you and if you want to make it effective and you're a suicide of thoughts you can do it on a So We all know that this life that you have it's God given and whenever we take it away it's like committing sin and not honoring God because why should you maybe commit suicide because of something that you find you can even solve it so I don't think it's necessary to commit suicide but instead you should just like try harder on whatever is disturbing you and see if you can get a solution. As a normal person it's not just even advisable for one to commit suicide like So actually nowadays Because I don't know if I know I'm following you okay according to the Bible So according to me Like It's right No one has control over it. It's something that Yeah It's not it's not the right decision when you have a depression she just Look for somebody who trusts who can help you get through it Most of the times as well as I do know When you So coming in Maria government of course if you try to kill yourself that's a government property Okay, that's my understanding No one has the right to commit suicide Because it's God who chooses when you should die or when you should live more so killing yourself is Very very wrong because that is taking a life Yeah, taking a life is something to climb even if it's your own life, Tony God you should take your life Attempted suicide is a mental health problem amongst young people they continue to treat it as a crime So it turns out if you manage to do to commit suicide it is punishable However, there is no one to punish For that crime if at all it is successful But if you attempt and it fails chances are you're going to jail now if you're gonna go to jail You're gonna be fined in our country. It is a crime. The reason because is One it is God given life You are given life. You do not have a chance or a reason to take it out That is the argument by the Constitution. Okay, and by God So those of you who feel or are attempting suicide just know it's punishable Try find people you can talk to especially me follow me on Instagram Let me know what's up. If something is bothering you, please talk to someone do not let it kill you Now let's head over to our second question, which by the way is stressing many Kenyans and we want to know What exactly is stressing Kenyans? It's a number of stress. I need to mob For drugs, for masturbation stuff We don't mean to cause a cause One cost and jazz and make it any jazz To make a living Killa seek one amuka. So in a way stress is time out So I come to pick up my purse It's a matter of money, like everything in the economy is bad. If you don't have a job, you don't need money. Another thing, if you don't have money, it's job. If you don't have a job, you don't have a job. If you are stressed, you don't have money. If you have a job, you don't need money. If you are stressed, you don't have a relationship. If you don't have a job, you don't have a good relationship. If you don't have a job, you don't have a good relationship. If someone is into someone's life, someone cannot stay without talking to each other. If you are stressed, you don't have a good relationship. So, maybe it's a background. Background matters a lot. There are some backgrounds that are held up. If you don't have a job, you don't have a good relationship. If you don't have a job, there is nothing. So, you have to stress yourself. When I speak of the youth, because obviously my youth, you get someone who has studied, he or she has graduated, but there is no employment. I try to work because of getting some work, but I end up working. So, you know, you'll be like, no, I've tried, I've studied, I have everything, and I'm not getting any job. So, I think that's one of the reasons that it can lead you to depression and later on you commit suicide. So, I think that is one of the views that I can say about stressing enough and what to make bad decisions. Yeah, they're not okay. Plus corruption, kind of, because on that point, to say, you want something. Right now, in this country, like many people who want to take acquired things through corruption, like to say, me, I have studied or I have money. So, when I get a chance somewhere, I don't have money, I don't have money. And I don't have experience or something greater at a backyard. So, it can lead to stress. Employment, that is number one, because you spend thousands of money or millions of money educating yourself. So, after that, you see the expectation is that you want to refund back the money. So, when you want to refund back the money, the focus always is employment. So, when the employment is not there and also there's a pressure from maybe the sponsor or the parents, we thought we'd educate you to, I mean, we can get better from you I mean, we can, at least our life can be better when we get you to school. So, now, in a pickup point, that there's no job maybe for some years. So, there's a pressure. So, that pressure alone, I think, I've faced that during the youth here. Peer pressure. So, like, you'll find I want to fit in a certain group of friends. Then, I don't have those qualifications to do it. So, I'll look so stressed up because I want to pursue current, but seeing that it's all a piece of paper, I'm not anything, and I feel so unloved at the moment. Because the economy is a panda, you know, Mahfuta and all those things. Usually, it's a panda bear. You have to take care of it. You have to take care of it. Okay, not all people struggle with that, of course. So, psychotronism in a stress canyon, because there's that move with the prices and the essential goods that we need, that move only is going to affect everyone. It causes a bit of a stress, you know. Because the things have to change in the tabs. What is a stress canyon? What is a stress canyon? It's a culture. Instead of solving a stress canyon, you have to blame someone. So, I think it's something, as a Kama Kenyans, it's a stress canyon. Yes, the economy is a stress canyon, but it's not a problem. As in COVID, it's a killer matter. So, I guess it's a problem. It's not a problem. But I guess it's our culture to adapt to it. To adapt to it. It's a creative course. Family matters. Also school, like some people studying too hard, it's stressful to them. How do you acquire money? Basically, money. Do you say that again? Money, like the concepts about money, you know this stuff like pure pressure, you see your friend has this, you want to get that, and you don't know what they are doing to earn that money. Life is hard. Life is hard. Some people try to find ways, means to survive. Even their families, maybe sometimes they reject them and they think that it's not worthy living. And maybe relationships, when you go to your partner, your partner even doesn't want to hear you out. And then you think society is the best. Yeah, but it's not an alternative because for me I would not advise someone to take life because life is hard. Everyone is struggling. As you walk around town, as you go about your business, I'm pretty sure you've heard people saying I am stressed out. Now, one of the main reasons as to why most Kenyans are actually stressed out is because we are just from a pandemic. This is the post-pandemic period. These are the results of a pandemic. One, the economy is imbalanced. At the moment, people do not have money or pockets or for their luxury, stays and whatever. So people are in need. Some people don't even have food. People have lost their jobs because of COVID till today how joy put a job being in it. Man, it's a crisis. It's an economic crisis all over the world. Another thing that is stressing Kenyans is mafuta, beya mafuta ime indaju. That is why mede skrizi akunanga jam. Have you noticed? Neromi streets, they are quite empty. Not unless you reach. Anyway, moving forward. Let's take a short break. We will be back with two more questions.
