There are suicides everywhere, it is likely that people in the school have killed themselves because of pressures they couldn't withstand.

I can not answer myself, but as it is a really interesting question I just googled-it... and found these two great links.\nThe first one is an article from the main page of the nobel.org: Mahatma Gandhi, the Missing Laureate\nby Øyvind Tønnesson,Nobel e-Museum Peace Editor, 1998-2000\n\nOf course may be is a lot of the story we'll never know!!

It's Nobel Peace Prize.\n\nThe Nobel Prize\nThe Nobel Prize is the first international award given yearly since 1901 for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. In 1968, the Sveriges Riksbank (Bank of Sweden) instituted the Prize in Economic Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. Each prize consists of a medal, personal diploma, and prize amount.\n\n  \nAlfred Nobel was born in 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden. His family was descended from Olof Rudbeck, the best-known technical genius of Sweden's 17th century era as a great power in northern Europe.  \nNobel invented dynamite in 1866 and later built up companies and laboratories in more than 20 countries all over the world.  \nOn November 27, 1895, Nobel signed his last will providing for the establishment of the Nobel Prize. He died of cerebral haemorrhage in his home in San Remo, Italy on December 10, 1896.

not enough.\n\nhere is a link-http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2003/dec/01/campus_counselors_seeing/\n\nWhen I was at IU living in a dorm..my neighbor became depressed over dosed attempting suicide...no one knew for several days...then she told a friend who reported her to the RA ...she locked herself in her room...then she was instructed, mind you this was now a week after the attempted suicide, to go get checked at the uni hosp. or she would not be allowed to graduate.\n\nWell she went to the hospital and they simply signed her chart that she was OK...no psych. consult nothing.\n\nI have a prediction that something is now inherently wrong with the way we live now and mental illness with cause our demise.  I don't mean to be sounding so dreary here...but I meet only people each day at my office who are mentally ill....I know like 2 people who have healthy minds free of psychosis or neurosis or depression or paranoia....good luck

I myself know six people who've committed suicide...all men....3 relatives, 2 high school friends and one friend from college. I think that everyone has a different method of coping and everyone's method isn't as good as others. And I also think everyone has limits to what they can handle and if people haven't learned how to cope with life's struggles, it's easy to see how they can succumb to suicide.\n\nI've forwarded the following link to friends and acquaintances many times who've said they've reached their limit. I tell them to read just page 5, if not the entire book.\n\nhttp://www.hopeline.com/docs/suicide.pdf#search='suicide%20the%20forever%20decision' \n\nIt's a PDF, so you'll need Acrobat Reader to view it.\n\nThere was a time more than a dozen years ago when I reached my limit and someone who could tell, saved me by asking me to read only page 5. I ended up reading the entire book. And I'm still here, so it must be good stuff.\n\nAnd luckily after surfing the Internet one day I found the book, now free on the Internet as a service to others.\n\n:)

Gandhi was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and, finally, a few days before he was murdered in January 1948. The omission has been publicly regretted by later members of the Nobel Committee; when the Dalai Lama was awarded the Peace Prize in 1989, the chairman of the committee said that this was "in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi". However, the committee has never commented on the speculations as to why Gandhi was not awarded the prize, and until recently the sources which might shed some light on the matter were unavailable.

There is no Nobel Prize in engineering.  The Nobel Prize Committee does not accept nominations.  If someone deserves a Nobel, they already know about him.

God, no. Too many people don't realise how many OTHER people they affect. When people die of NATURAL causes, they leave huge voids in their loved ones' lives. Suicide is a terrible idea, especially if you're just depressed and not SICK physically.

That needs to be asked because sometimes people kill themselves by accident or it's very possible it may not have been suicide but murder and it was covered up. All people do not kill themselves because they are depressed however a large percentage are depressed.

I found your question interesting.\nWould you be able to provide more information?\nI'm not familiar with this issue so I did a google search to learn more.  \n\nI found a Tribune article titled:\nFarmers driven to suicide\nGovernment policies are to blame\nby Suraj Bhan Dahiya \n\n\nIt that states, "In the past few years over 20,000 farmers have killed themselves" as a result of the policies of the government. \n\n "Nearly half of Indian farmers are crippled by debt." \n\n"Humiliation resulting from harassment by moneylenders is the main reason for farmers’ suicides. They charge interest at exorbitant rates... " \n The link is below.
