The matter of depression and suicide in Nigeria these days is alarming,as a result of some painful and cruel situations, people tends to get depressed and in the process commit suicide, but I will say that this is not an option. This article is to encourage people out there that whatever you are going through , don`t give up or feel sad , because there is always a form of hope for all situations , just keep trying , you have to save yourself first, do not let anyone make you sad and no matter who they are set stamdards for yourself to overcome.
Do you feel sad,alone,scared,torn apart,betrayed or tired of this world? well it's okay to be, but it's time for you to snap out of it before it drenches you, you can't possibly keep crying for too long else you would miss so much so just hold on to yourself because there is still hope, I know that for sure because i have been in a situation where I could not read,write nor do anything reasonable for myself, my teachers hated me because I was always failing and giving them bad reputations, I was beaten almost all the time in school, my mates laughed at me, I was afraid of showing my parents my results everytime the term closes but my mum believed in me, she showed me love, she tried all her best to ensure I succeeded, I cried everytime I saw my results because I was always failing at the time, finally I started knowing how to read in jss3 and from then I could understand so many things through the efforts of my parents and a wonderful teacher who taught me and noticed my struggles in learning and worked on it, I was depressed, dejected, devalued, a piece of junk, I was a good for nothing to people around, so my mind told me, I struggled with my thoughts almost all the time but GOD lifted me up with my hard work, believe and hope that there a brighter future ahead of me, now you may say that our situations are not the same, yes that can be possibly true but do you want to remain in yours forever? or you want to stand up and fulfill your purpose in life? Stop crying, stop moaning, stop regretting, because it`s all in the past now, don`t spoil tomorrow with your decision today, don`t give up on GOD because he won`t give up on you, just keep pushing forward because that`s all you can really do. someone ones said;
"A broken crayon can still write, you know why, because that's it's purpose, to keep writing till it dies or finishes, by all means it strives to fulfill its purpose even till it dies"

be like a crayon, strive to fulfill your purpose in life and don't give up. Whatever situation you find yourself, depression is not anoption, if in the process of being depressed you commit suicide people will surely cry but just for a little period of time because afterall you killed yourself, so please don't be sad, instead make yourself happy 'no one can love you like yourself' love yourself first no matter the situation, you could go see a movie,go shopping for new items,see a counsellor, make yourself happy and if you do not have money, have hope that there is something great ahead of you, it does not matter who has detested,  treated you bad, or pushed you away for whatever reasons, just keep moving knowing in your heart that there is a better thing ahead of you, you do not have to depend on people to be there for you all the time, when you can be there for yourself because if you solely depend on people they can fail you because  they are humans and the feeling of disappointment can produce depression which could lead to suicide or murder but in order to avoid all this just believe in GOD and in your abilities. Get up and fight for your; HAPPINESS, PEACE, LIVELYHOOD, JOY, SUCCESS, VICTORY, FUTURE AND LIFE Because I believe that one day your hussle will pay.
