Stress in Malaysia - Issue

Today, we walk out of our house early in the morning, the first thing that comes to our head is 

'how do I survive today? '. Today when our friends or relatives ask what our ambition? We actually dont care, what hits our mind the first is we want to earn lot money and be rich. In the current modern world where technologies are sophisticated, living standards are high, we have to be competitive enough to survive. Stress is overloading and over burdening us and some might even choose the easy path-suicidal just to escape the cage. This has to change.  

'Stress is the cause of death in Malaysia'.

I found a few readings about most of all the teenagers live in a stressful live and cause suicide in Malaysia. There are article ,  news , and even study journal that talk about this issue.

Below are the websites that i found for the reading.

In this journal stated that "In Malaysia there was a fervent discussion on the issue of 

suicide after two tragic suicide incidents happened in Feb 2011. Two major risk factors were highlighted:- 

- Poor coping mechanism for the stresses of school life 

- The lack of a program to promote good mental health in the country 

Adnan emphasized the rising stress levels in a 

transitional society as the main factor. He attributed the risk factors of the young to the instability felt by teenagers growing up in the context of a society undergoing value changes. The traditional protective factors such as family and religion are no longer in place "

In this journal mentioned that “According to Taylor and Stansfeld (1984 as cited in Comer, 2004), adolescents react to events in their life more sensitively and hastily. Therefore, in times of stress they do not know how to act wisely and are more likely to view suicide as the only solution to their problems. “ (Cai-Lian, T.,et al,2011)".

Based on the issue, everyone try to obtain an escape or some means to help them better handle with the stresses. Therefore, this project targeted on the subject matter about stress. When life gives stress, what will you do to distress? 
Through this project, encourage people to share positivity and ways to distress.
