A very sad thing happened at a school called Seeta High School in Mukono. A young student named Elishammah Ssesazi died in his school bedroom. He was sixteen years old and studied in Senior Three.
Early in the morning, at three o'clock, another student woke up and saw Elishammah hanging near his bed. Everyone at the school became very scared and upset. They called the police right away to help them.
A police officer named Mr. Owoyesigyire said they took Elishammah to a special doctor to find out what made him die. The police want to learn what made Elishammah feel sad enough to hurt himself. Some people said Elishammah had asked his parents for money but didn't receive it. The police want everyone who knows anything about what happened to tell them.
This makes people worry about how students feel inside their minds. Two years ago, another young boy named Arafat Kasule died the same way in Mpigi. He was eleven years old and went to Kabira School. People found him hanging from a tree near his school.
Smart people who help children say many things can make young people feel very sad. Schoolwork and making friends can be hard. Some children feel worried or sad a lot. The police want schools to help students who feel bad inside their minds.
Many people are shocked by what happened. Teachers and parents want to ensure that all students have someone to talk to when they feel bad. They want schools to be places where children can tell someone if they need help.
