Beautiful 21 Year Old Girl Commits Suicide After 200 Rejections


A job seeking 21 years old girl committed suicide after 200 denial of employment. Vicky Harrison, a brilliant university drop-out and former resident Lancashire in England, was by his mother Louise as "bright, bubbly and intelligent girl described”. Vicky's father Tony, 53, he said "lost track of the different types of jobs, she asked. It was too difficult to actually see her confidence suffer after each rejection. She only wanted to work and earn money. I do not know how it would be difficult to get a job”. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison said that Vicky wanted to be a teacher or a TV producer, but simply "gave."


Vicky was so unsuccessful from her job, that "she became depressed for unable to find a job. Vicky found humiliating that she had out of work for so long and could not accept it anymore. We are struggling to come to terms with [Vicky's suicide]. Vicky is and always has been special. Vicky wrote three suicide notes before taking her life with an apparent drug overdose. In every note, to his mother, father, and his buddy Nathan Haworth, she said, "It's just that I don't want to be me anymore."


Vicky had sought employment through 200 different applications in the two years following her 2008 leave from college which was decidedly "just not right" for her. Vicky was allegedly too "proud" for public assistance but did receive a small Jobseeker's Allowance, like an estimated 4,045 other 18-24 year olds in East Lancashire, England, a number nearly doubled since July 2008 because of recession. Nationally beyond East Lancashire, Manchester and throughout England, over 2.5 million youths are unemployed with dramatic rises in recent months. From December 2009 until February 2010 youth unemployment rose to 929,000 with gains of over 4,000 people when compared with the previous three months. Labor policies in England have been heavily criticized, with opposition claiming that they have caused a "lost generation" of unemployed youths.

Harrison's parents and boyfriend have established a foundation in Vicky's honor dedicated to help unemployed youths in a sad yet growing trend in today's tough economic times.
