A Plague of Girl Suicides: Another One in Baguio

An 11-year-old girl was found hanging inside their rented house in Cabinet Hill last Monday. She was found dead by her sister who had to climb up the roof because the door was locked. The girl did not attend school that Monday because of a stomach ache, her parent said. She was said to have been left to the care of their neighbors and she was last seen watching TV. This is the third case of suicide among 11 years old girls this year in the country. An 11-year old girl in Davao committed suicide last November and left a suicide note saying that her family was too poor to send her to school and that she thought all her simple Christmas wishes for her family are not bound to come true.
