[Week IV] Case study: Greta

From my point of view, Greta's case has the highest chance that she will commit suicide. First of all, when she knew that she is pregnant, her boyfriend left her and went away with another girl, so surely that she will feel so sad about it, because at the most important time that she need him, he left her just like that. Secondly, her mother is an alcoholic, so her mother usually feel unconscious for what she had done, she even might bring more disasters for Greta because of her actions.

Not just that, when Greta was 4, she was left by her father, this must be very hard for her because everyone need both the figure of a father and the figure of a mother, not just one of them. After that, although she have some close friends that can help her, her friends have some limits too and her friends just can give her sympathy not empathy because her friends don't experience the same situation as hers.

In conclusion, she almost has no-one to stand beside her in this critical situation and no matter how strong she can be, every person needs someone who can help. Even though she is intelligent, people tend to think unclearly in this kind of situation which includes Greta, and that can lead her to suicide.
