Anomic Suicide in Asia

Interesting! I thought the same social issue for higher suicide rates among students in Asia. But, I guess it is because of high regulation on students' daily lives and low integration they can feel from their parents. The helicopter mothers manage the entire schedules and life plans for their kids. Their ultimate goal of life is to make their kids socially successful, which eventually makes them to overcontrol their kids. It is mothers who get a complete authority and regulation over their children's lives, not the children themselves. Also, due to high academic goals and pressures dominantly put on students by their mothers (or, parents), there would be very small capacity for students to feel warmth or intimacy with their parents that results in low integration.
