‘There is no connection between my suicide and the girl. I am quite pressurized and I know I would not get good results at the O/L examination. Although my friends did many wrong deeds I tried to move off from such conducts. I committed many wrongdoings due my unawareness. I have already broken my parents’ trust twice’ the boy had written in his letter.
