Opinions:
In my point of view,I think that commiting suicide will not solve problems and if we have any problems or difficulty we should approach an adult or parents or even teachers for help...Mr Roh
maybe is in a very stressful state and had no choice or people to turn to for help, but to commit
suicide.There are some other way to reduce stress...Some examples are..to get more rest or sleep.....
