Most adolescents who commit suicide do so as a reaction to previous distressing events. Such common events include conflicts within the adolescent’s families, their failure to live up to the parents’ or guardians expectations and the adolescent’s failure to develop adequate interpersonal relationships within their families. These events often leads to suicide signals such as threatening to commit suicide or displaying actual tendencies to suicide and serious suicide attempts whereby the adolescent survives or leads to actual suicide. 

The signals of suicide among adolescent include previous attempts, threat to commit suicide, feelings of alienation and loneliness and the presence of mental illness especially depression. Other signals are lack of adequate impulse control, unexpected severe and prolonged stress and negative emotions.

Mipango ya elimu katika nchi mbalimbali duniani siku zote inahitilafiana, kimuundo na elimu itolewayo. Mipango hiyo huhitilafiana kwa sababu nchi zenyewe zinazotoa elimu huhitalifiana, kwa sababu elimu yoyote iwe ya darasani au si ya darasani, ina shababa yake. Shabaha yenyewe ni kurithishana maarifa na mila za taifa kutoka kizazi kimoja hadi kizazi kingine na kuwaandaa vijana wawe tayari kuchukua nafasi zao katika kulitumikia na kuliendeleza taifa. Hivi ndivyo ilivyo katika nchi zote yaani nchi za kikabaila za Magharibi, nchi za kikomunist za Mashariki na hata zilivyokuwa nchi za kiafrika kabla ya ukoloni.

Kwa hiyo, sio kweli kusema kwamba kabla ya ukoloni waafirka hawakuwa na elimu, eti kwa sababu tu hawakuwa na shule, na kwamba makabila machache yalitoa mafunzo kwa muda mfupi tu kambini. Watoto na vijana walijifunza kwa kuishi na kutenda. Nyumbani au shambani walijifunza ufundi wa kazi zilizopaswa kufanywa, pamoja na tabia wanayopaswa kuwa nayo watu wa jamii ile. Vile vile walifijunza aina za majani na mizizi ya miti ya porini, na kazi zake; walijifunza namna ya kushughulikia mavuno na jinsi ya kuangalia mifungo. Haya yote waliyafanya kwa kushirikiana na wale waliowazidi umri au wakubwa kuliko wao.

HIvyo jamii zilijifunza historia za makabila yao, na uhusiano baina ya kabila moja na makabila mengine, uhusiano baina ya makabila yao na mizimu kwa kusikiliza tu hadithi zilizokuwa zikitolewa na wazee. Kwa njia hii na kwa desturi za kushirikiana walizofunzwa vijana, tamaduni za nchi ziliendelezwa. Kwa hiyo elimu waliyopata haikuwa y kukosekana kwa madarasa hakumaanishi kwamba hakukuwako elimu, wala hakukupunguza umuhimu wa elimu katika Taifa. Kwa msingi hiyo inawezekana kabisa kwamba elimu aliyokuwa akiipata kijana wa enzi zile ilikuwa elimu inayomfaa kuishi katika jamii yake.

Huko Ulaya elimu ya darasani ilianza siku nyingi. Lengo la elimu hiyo ya Ulaya ilikuwa sawa na ile iliyotolewa kwa mtindo wa asili wa Kiafrika, yaani, kwa kuishi na kutenda. Madhumuni makubwa yalikuwa ni kuimarisha mila zilizokuwa zikitumika katika nchi, na kuwanadaa awatoto na vijana kutimiza wajibu wao katika nchi hiyo. Na hivyo ndivyo ilivyo katika nchi za kikomunisti siku hizi. mafunzo yanayotolewa ni tofauti na yale yanayotolewa katika nchi za Magharibi, lakini lengo likiwa ni moja; kuwaandaa vijana kuishi katika taifa na kulitumikia taifa hilo, na kuendeleza busara, ujuzi na mila za taifa katika kizazi kijacho.

COMPREHENSION AND SUMMARY

1.         Read the passage below carefully then answer the questions that follow.

Two twins, Doto and Kulwa lived in the village of Lulindi. They grew and played together. At the age of twenty, they became independent young men. They then parted wishing each other a prosperous life.

Dotto served in the chiefs palace and became a trusted friend of chief. his brother travelled to a distant land and built his workshop along the road, where he worked as a shoe-maker. Customers flocked to him because his prices were low compared to others around.

One evening, the chiefs spies brought some news that the chief of the nearby village Lilanda is planning to invade him. Dotto was present when the spies disclosed this bad news to the chief. "Let us gather in a large army and ambush him at once!", the chief said angrily, "You see that is the best technique to win a war", his advisor commented. But Dotto advised the chief differently, "Your honour, peace is the most valuable thing that we should protect in our land He further advised him not to believe everything that the spies told him. Finally Dotto said, "I will go to the Lilanda chiefs village personally to verify this information."

The chief agreed but he told him to return after seven days. "On the seventh day if you havent reported back, we shall know that, they have killed or retained you. In this situation we will have no other option but to attack the village", the chief insisted.

When he reached the Lilanda chiefs palace, he discovered that the information which was brought by the spies was not true. In fact, the Lilanda chief was shocked to hear of the allegations, and shouted, "That is nonsense!"

The next morning he sent Dotto back with presents and a letter to his fellow chief and insisted by saying that, "Go and tell my good friend that, I have never had anything against him and it will never happen". In the evening Dotto started his journey back home but he lost his way because it was dark and stormy. He wandered in the wilderness for five days. On the sixth day, he was tired, hungry and sick, his clothes were torn and his shoes were broken. He kept walking in the scorning sun, later on, he could no longer walk. He fell down and lost his consciousness.

When he woke up, he saw someone standing beside him, Dotto could not recognise him. This person helped him to the nearby hut where he was fed and clothed. When he gained his strength, he looked carefully to his host and discovered that, it was his brother Kulwa. They embraced in tears. After narrating the whole episode, Dotto requested his brother to make him a simple pair of shoes which would enable him to walk faster to the chief. In two hours, shoes were ready and Dotto put them on, ready to leave. "I wish you could stay longer, but for the sake of the peace, go and report my brother", said Kulwa.

At home the chiefs hope was diminishing. It was noon of the seventh day where the chief was with his advisor. The advisor said, "Certainly they have killed him". As the sun went down the hills, the chief could no longer wait. He ordered his commanders to get ready for a war in two hour. After an hour Dotto arrived with the good news and the chiefs spies were detained for 20 years in prison for deceiving the chief.

2.  Read and summarize the following passage in five sentences in a single paragraph.

The vast majority of men throughout history have lived close to the land, in rural villages or tribal groupings that were bound by age-old traditions. Life moved slowly there, and changes lagged far behind those of the fast-paced cosmopolitan centres.

Beginning in the nineteenth century, however, urbanisation accelerated rapidly as a result of the Industrial Revolution. By now, more than half of the population of North America and almost half of the population of Australia and New Zealand live in cities of at least 100,000 people. In South america and Europe about one third of the people live in cities of at least 100,000 people. Only Asia and Africa remain overwhelmingly rural, with 90 percent of the people still living in agricultural villages and on farms. But even with picture is beginning to change.

The speed with which urbanisation is now taking place stands in sharp contrast to the very gradual development of cities over thousands of years. Today there is accelerated pace of urbanisation, with its accompanying technological changes, which has the effect of uprooting people, destroying ancient traditions and beliefs, and breeding instability. For example, the urbanisation and industrialisation taking place in India is helping to break down the cast system that has regulated Indian life for thousands of years.

    IF WE MUST DIE By Claude McKay

    If we must die - let it be not like hogs

    Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,

    While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,

    Making their mock at our accursed lot.

    If we must die - oh let us nobly die

    So that our precious blood may not be shed

    In vain: then even the monsters we defy

    Shall be constrained to honour us through dead!

    Oh Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe;

    Though far outnumbered, let us show our bravery

    And for their thousand blows one deathblow!

    What though before us lies the open grave?

    Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,

    Pressed to the wall, dying but fighting back!

    (a) What is the poem about?
