In China some of the Apple Factory works have committed suicide to escape the slave like working conditions at their jobs. Some of the workers are young and come from the rural and start working for the first time in their young lives. They are taken from their rural life styles and moved to an often intense working conditions. These intense working conditions are not something these young people are used to and they often get overly stressed from all of the work that is to be done in the factories. The factories often have no idea that the young workers they hire need emotional support and if they don't recieve the emotional support they are driven to committing suicide.
