Abstract

A thematic analysis of the extreme level of depression circulating on the lockdown society during the Covid-19 situation reveals problems and challenges that the young generation faced. They expressed the hardships of surviving lockdown while ruining the fresh dreams of their fresh minds. Their ruining dreams presented as helpless, depressed, and even suicidal when they discover that none of their coping mechanism helps them. Some people decided to commit suicide but return to normal life by giving up their decision after much thought. The qualitative research design is the most appropriate design for this study considering the short period and lack of available respondents because they do not want to share these sensitive issues. In this research, through the case study, is being tried to find out the real causes of the suicidal ideation of the respondents and the KII (Key Informant Interview) method has been taken to know the parental feelings on the suicidal ideation using the snowball procedure of non-probability sampling. This article analyses the primary reason for this unique and functional decision of the young generation that “We Decided We Would Commit Suicide. But We Couldn’t.” In addition, highlights the emergency responses for violating their suicidal decision during the corona period.
