Abstract
The increased suicide rate among the aboriginal youth is an indication of ‘youth crying for
help’. The indigenous youth is not open to understanding ‘what is more to life’ and they have
closed doors to a ‘therapy culture’. We all live in a ‘therapy culture’. If parents can’t help,
then help should be taken from a professional psychotherapist.
(Altman, 2008)
There is more to learn and appreciate about the culture of humanity and the way it has
developed over the years. Hence, rather than blindly believing in culture, we are better off
knowing more about it. Firstly, one should not try to define a culture because it will never
define us and secondly, one should not limit their existence by living within the boundaries of
a culture.
(American Psychiatric Association, 2000)
