    "content": "For lack of time, I want to speak very briefly about some of the things that Members have talked about. If you see the reports in our newspapers, you will find that there is always a young person who has committed suicide or killed another young person because of hopelessness, helplessness and frustration that many young people face. Sometimes we find misplaced reactions like the one we saw very recently with another Member of Parliament. The issues that he was raising were very valid, but he raised them wrongly. Sometimes there is misplaced aggression when we do not know how to address the challenges that we are facing. People are told to study hard, go to university and when they finish, they think there is a promise of jobs. They finish and there are no jobs. Their parents probably sold all they had and they cannot even start a business. What do they do? Some of them become mentally sick and others commit suicide. We, as a nation, must address this. We have not taken mental health seriously, but it is something that we need to do and stock our hospitals, so that they can deal with those issues."
