17-year-old poor boy kills himself hoping to be reincarnated a rich man; leaves his kidneys to his parents

 There is a troubling trend that researchers have identified again and again – low-income parents, especially single mothers, have higher rates of depression and depressive symptoms than their higher-income counterparts.

Data from the Fragile Families and Child Well Being Study shows that mothers with persistent depression invest less time with their children on positive activities such as reading, outings, trips to the park, and indoor play.
This evidence suggests that children of depressed parents are often denied adult attention and interactions that are crucial for safe and healthy development. Multiple studies have shown that children with depressed mothers are more likely to have behavior problems, poor academic performance, and delays in cognitive and social development.

This has been proven again and again, as children and adults take their own life because of poverty. Having no hope, they take their own lives instead of living a poor life. While parents come home tired from a day’s work and almost brings nothing home for food, children are equally depressed by their parents’ behaviour.
