Birth Control items sold eight times more in Sri Lanka on     Valentine's Day!

Suicides increase by three times!

-- revealed by a survey

It has been revealed by a survey conducted that the suicide rate of young girls and boys of this country has increased three times more than previously, on Valentine's Day which fell on 14th

February.

What Consultant Dr. Asanga Wijeyratna of the Royal Council of the United Kingdom says is that various reasons such as a young girl being collectively raped, not being able to present a gift to her lover, not being able to face advice of the parents and breaking up of love affairs have contributed to suicides. He also mentioned that it is young people passing through the ages of 16 - 24 who have mostly been subjected to suicides in this manner.

In the same way, Dr. Wijeyratna said that the sale of condoms and birth control pills too had escalated eight times more on this day compared to other days according to a survey carried out across islandwide pharmacies. It is a speciality to observe that children who are pursuing studies at International Schools are the ones who have been motivated to make these purchases.

Dr. Wijeyratna stated that these youth who had visited abortion centres or doctors on the dates following February 14th were young boys and girls and that they were motivated to do so because of lack of a sound understanding about sex education.
