A sad and shocking incident has been reported in Kericho County where three students are said to have taken their own lives just days before schools reopened.
According to reports shared on social media, the tragic event happened after the girls allegedly faced pressure from their parents to leave their relationships and focus fully on their education.
The news has left many people in shock and raised concern about how young people are being guided at home. Sources say that the young girls had been involved in romantic relationships with older men.
When their parents discovered this, they quickly stepped in to stop the relationships.
It is reported that the parents wanted their daughters to concentrate on their studies and prepare for their future. However, it appears that the situation became too difficult for the girls to handle emotionally.
Reports further claim that the girls had a serious disagreement with their parents. The argument is said to have turned chaotic, with claims that the girls even reacted angrily before running away into a nearby forest.
After a few hours of searching, their bodies were allegedly found hanging from trees, bringing a painful end to the search and leaving families and residents in deep sorrow.
Local authorities have since spoken about the incident, urging parents and guardians to find better and more understanding ways to talk to their children.
They advised that young people should be guided with patience, support, and open communication instead of pressure or force.
The incident serves as a painful reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and the need for families to create safe spaces where children can express themselves freely.
