TRAGIC STORY SURROUNDING A YOUNG STUDENT’S LOSS
Given her recent troubling posts on TikTok, "If I die young, don't cry when you hear I am gone, wipe out my gallery and give my phone to my elder sister, don't wear blank to my funeral"
It is incredibly disheartening to witness the challenges faced by a young mind poised to build a future.
Pascaline Acheampong, a 17-year-old student in SS3, recently received permission from her school to return home in Offinso for medical treatment for malaria.
However, she chose to visit her boyfriend’s house instead, where she tragically passed away under suspicious circumstances.
Reports suggest a variety of explanations surrounding her death. Some sources indicate that she may have taken her own life due to her father discovering her whereabouts and contacting the authorities regarding her boyfriend.
Others assert she succumbed to malaria. Given her recent troubling posts on TikTok,
If I die young, don’t cry when you hear I am gone, wipe out my gallery and give my phone to my elder sister, don’t wear blank to my funeral
it appears that she may have been grappling with profound emotional distress.
This heartbreaking incident highlights the urgent need for more positive role models and influencers who can inspire and uplift young women.
It’s crucial that we foster an environment where mental health is prioritized and where young people feel supported and encouraged. We must take collective action to combat depression and promote resilience among our youth.
