Advice Column
Dear Soroya, I am thinking about
adopting a child, but I am not sure whether or not it’s the right thing for me
to do. Do you think I should? (From Anonymous)
You should adopt after consulting
this matter with your local family. Adoption is a big choice, and you should
make sure everyone will back you up if you do adopt. Figure out everything before
you make that big of
a decision.
Dear Soroya, my brother wants to
travel back to our homeland of Afghanistan.
As you know, the country has been littered with chaos for a long time, and I’m
afraid he will get hurt. Should I tell him? (From Giles)
Yes, I would tell him about your
worries, but you have to remember this is his choice in the end. If he does end
up going, wish him luck!
Dear Soroya,
I hate my life. I
have a terrible job, terrible family, and terrible husband. I’m not sure if I
can handle life anymore. I already know the answer you will say, but do you
think I should end it?
Of course not, you can always
start over. Get a divorce, find a new job, move away, anything. If life is
going bad for you, never just end it, try to figure out how to fix it.

Afghan
Adoptions: Help the Children!
Afghanistan has been in a civil war for many years. Corruption, poverty, and famine has spread through out the country.
Because most of the men have left to support the Taliban and to fight in the war, many women have no choice but to give their
children up to orphanages. Most times giving up their child or children gives them a better chance to survive than keeping
them. Orphanages are more common in Afghanistan than McDonalds are in the United States. The orphanages conditions are horrid.
Most of them don’t have clean drinking water. Many don’t have enough beds or blankets to accommodate the many
orphaned children. Adoptions coming form the United States are extremely rare because of the boiling turmoil between Afghanistan
and the Untied States. But Afghanistan needs all the help it can get. Many orphans die before they reach their teenage years
because of the terrible living conditions. Help the children out! Look into Afghan adoptions today! -Najia

Suicide:
A Look at Motives Behind it And Prevention
What causes so many people to commit the
ultimate sacrifice and cause so much tragedy? Depression, loss of hope, loss of
emotion, all 3? Suicidal thoughts are troubling, especially when accompanied by
depression, other mental illnesses, alcohol or drug abuse, or plans for
suicide. This situation demands evaluation. The critical distinction is between
a person's thoughts regarding death and suicide, and actually wanting to die.
When doctors hear that someone wants to die, they refer to these thoughts as
suicidal ideation and divide them into 2 categories: 1.
Suicidal ideation
can be active and involve a current desire and plan to die.
2.
Suicidal ideation
can be passive, involving a desire to die but without a plan to bring about
one's death.
Suicidal thoughts can be caused by a
sudden tragic event in life, depression, and drug abuse. If you know someone
who may be experiencing depression or suicidal thoughts, you should ask them
directly about thoughts of suicide. Asking about suicidal thoughts or plans
does not put the idea in the person's head. If you are concerned that someone
may be depressed or suicidal, then ask them directly. Don’t wait, or it may be
too late! -Linar KY
