The tragic death of Jivon Zoro Singh, a bright 15-year-old boy from a leading international school, who mysteriously fell to his death at the Altair building, has sparked much controversy and speculation on all forms of media including parents and children.

While many were quick to label the incident as a suicide, Jivon's family categorically denies these claims, adding that there has been a great deal of misinformation regarding their son's death.

Humans are collectively curious by nature, and speculation comes to us naturally. Curiosity has taken us this far on the evolutionary journey, with seemingly a long way to go, and an end no one can see or predict. The only way to deal with public or media scrutiny is to develop resilience or a "thick skin," as it's unrealistic to expect the world to behave kindly towards us or anyone else. It is a reality that some people are more than willing to exploit the tragedies, miseries, or desperation of others to their advantage. We need to teach this to our young so that they have some preparation when facing harsh realities of life. In sum of my long unsolicited yarn, be kind, but don't always expect it in return.

Bullying is a serious issue both among children and adults. Online gaming, social media and in schools, children face bullying and those vulnerable sink into depression and sometimes attempt suicide. This is a worldwide menace, usually played down in schools. It is the responsibility of parents, state authorities, and society to wake up and try to curb this before it gets out of control. Living and working in Australia, I can tell you they have possibly the highest percentage of those suffering from depression and mental disorders in the world. Though Australia advocates against bullying, they are possibly the worst when it comes to bullying in schools and workplaces. One is fearful of being victimised if this is raised in workplaces and so many seek refuge in psychiatrist/psychologists and medication. PLS SAVE OUR CHILDREN FROM THE MENACE OF ONLINE

Family clarification explains that Jivon was a very helpful friend/sudent. Beyond that it is difficult to gather what really happened. Of course schools must address bullying as a real issue that mentally affects the life of students. Schools also must have a Counsellor visiting every school once a week for a full day for the students to discuss their personal issues/bullying etc with the Counsellor to get help and the Counsellor to report to Principal any reportable facts

Correct, also the need for enhanced proper counselling in schools must be top priority in view of the new challenges faced by our youngsters.

Let the police investigate such an incident. Public statements from the family are always counterproductive and disrupt the investigation.

I see this as a pampered kid from a well to do family . They are many poor students even in state universities who skip meals or share a single lunch/dinner packet among two to three students. They do not jump from an upper floor in the campus. The parents need to take full responsibility for the behaviour of their kids. This is common sense. As an example get them to use public transport to get to school, not vans or private cars. To summerize send them through the mill.

I keep having a simple question. Why has the police/CID not subjected entire batch of this boy to a enquiry ? Even after the third student from the same batch ended her life recently ? Don't the parents of the other students wonder if their child is safe ? On what basis has the police ruled out all other possibilities - cult, bullying, drugs, blackmail, etc ??? Have the parents of these children noticed/reported bullying to the school authorities? What did the school do about it ? Who was the accused bully ,,, is he/she the son/daughter of a VIP capable of silencing the system? I repeat - enquire all the other children - these adolescents know everything about each other ! I don't believe that three children met this fate in such quick succession only because they were depressed, not untill I see a report that reveals that the family members, teachers, administrators and most importantly each and every fellow student of these teens were subjected to a serious CID enquiry.

Parents failed to established the required bonded relationship with their own children, when any tragic event occur they claimed to be angels and true guardians of children????

People, you all need to STOP speculating please! This is exactly what is causing the family distress and adding to their unbearable grief. Unless you are a psychiatrist of emotional therapist I think it would be kinder to refrain from commenting. RIP, beautiful boy. May the angels heal your pain, whatever that might have been. And may God bless this grieving family.
