Re: Life in Armenia

What happened? She didn't do as well as she wanted/was expected to do, so she threw herself off a building. That's what happens when you tell emotionally unstable people they can do anything they want. Now, the fact that most emotionally unstable people happen to be women, cannot be helped, now can it?

Comeon Levon.... scientific fact and statistics doesn't fit the feminist agenda...

School graduation and higher school entrance exams in Armenia, always a period of tension and stress for pupils and their parents, have been marred by an incident late last week in which a teenage girl committed suicide soon after learning she’d scored an unsatisfactory mark for Armenian language and literature. There was no case in Armenia in recent memory when a student committed suicide over an unsatisfactory mark in an exam.

Gohar Martirosyan, 17, who studied at Viktor Hambartsumyan Secondary School #12 in Yerevan’s Shengavit community, received 7.5 points (half a point below the lowest satisfactory mark of 8) in the exam on Friday.

Answers to the test were posted at 2 p.m. on the Accreditation and Testing Center’s (ATC) website. At 4 p.m., police were alerted to the girl’s home where it was learned that she had jumped from a seventh-floor balcony. The police probe into the case is ongoing.

Vladimir Stepanyan, headmaster of School # 12, told ArmeniaNow that Martirosyan was “a lively” teenager from a “quite normal family.”

Nelly Duryan, the deputy head of the Police’s 3rd Investigation Department (of Juvenile Affairs) in Armenia, told ArmeniaNow that according to the 2009 data, 28 minors committed suicide in Armenia, mainly because of domestic problems and unrequited love. One suicide case registered last year was on religious grounds.

You do not even know what happened, what were the reasons, what went on before it happened... so this comment is useless.

The truth is what it is, it is people who are idiotic.

Exactly, I'm glad you have a mirror around when typing responses.

To some, truth is idiotic, but that cannot be helped now, can it!

Re: Life in Armenia

Yes Haykakan, they are young girls (16) and think that school is the only way to a better life... the girl who threw herself from the sixth floor did it after the parents got really angry.

Mos, these kind of tragic things also happen in Armenia and are part of 'life in Armenia'. We must never ignore this, but try to think how we can avoid this in the future!
