年幼八度自殺 重生社企高層︰聆聽 擁抱 鼓勵救絕望孩子 Date posted: 09/03/2016 「我仲有妹妹，我唔可以死！」近月多宗學生自殺事件令社企「加油香港」創辦人兼營運總裁周佩波感觸良多。周幼年因父母離異被同學恥笑，加上成績差劣曾八次尋死，包括跳河自殺，生死一線間他擔心親妹無人照顧拼命掙扎，幸被好心人救上岸重過新生。周作為過來人，稱明白自殺學童的絕望，促家長以聆聽、擁抱及鼓勵三招救救瀕崩潰的孩子。 老師妹妹支持考上科大 「自殺？我試過，真係試過。」落着淚寫出往事的周佩波，曾是年薪過百萬的商界高層，但鮮有人知道他幼時曾八次企圖自殺。周小時候居於廣西，6、7歲時父母離婚，如人球般被踢來踢去，「當時我發噩夢被魔鬼分屍」，僅八歲的他精神受創，同學恥笑他是有父有母的孤兒及乞丐，更因語文及數學科加起來才30多分而被老師判了死刑：「周佩波，你永遠不會有前途！」 周年幼時抽煙飲酒，更曾跳山跳樹8次企圖自殺，最接近死亡的一次是跳河被急流沖走。當時他飲了不少泥水，卻突想起小他2、3年的妹妹還要他照顧，終拼命掙扎遇到好心村民被救起。他獲救後把三支燃煙頭烙在大腿，用痛苦令自己清醒及重生。他12歲時與妹妹來港，遇到啟蒙老師「波Sir」教他中文及做人，加上妹妹鼓勵，努力讀書，終考上科大展開新人生。他明白學童自殺往往是因情緒無出路兼無人支援，故促各界勿再說「點解有勇氣死，冇勇氣活下去」這類傷人說話。 賽馬會防止自殺研究中心總監葉兆輝指2010至2014年平均每年23名學生自殺，今年數目較高，值得各界警惕。他指學生自殺原因非由單一因素，如學生沉迷虛擬網絡世界不懂求助、家庭支援少、社會環境欠缺希望等，憂學童自殺出現模仿效應，建議學校多關心學生。

【港孩體驗】執紙皮瞓街 有不速之客趕？ Date posted: 23/07/2016 香港樓價貴租金貴，越來越多人負擔不起，有人被迫露宿街頭，以天橋底、行人隧道為家，根據非正式統計，香港現時約有1,600名露宿者，一班嬌生慣養的中學生，繼扮演傷殘人士及拾荒者後，決定再體驗露宿者苦況，一嘗瞓街滋味。 雖然他們今次瞓街的地點並非人流相對複雜的深水埗及油麻地等地，而是較少人流的西貢，但一樣有很多古怪及意想不到的體驗，期間甚至被不速之客驅趕，平日習慣高床軟枕的年青人，又會如何渡過這一夜呢？ 記者：黃子配 攝影：潘志恆、林栢鈞
