Depends on the reason really. If you're body is capable of repairing and you can talk to somebody about your problems, then there's no reason to so it. If your body is fading away and you can't walk or do stuff you could before and its getting worst, then I won't have any negative feelings against it. Personally I was suicidal for a few years because life just felt like a huge circle and nobody who I talked to wouldn't help. I ended up finding joy in playing video games and listening to music to keep myself occupied and thought what taking my life would do. Yeah it was childish, but never went back to that mindset.

I'm honestly very ignorant to this mindset and I don't really understand it much at all. Of course, I've been upset before and some things that happened in my life could arguably be shit that could make a common person depressed. Actually, I'm even hesitant to say I've been "depressed" before because I don't really understand the difference between being upset and being depressed either. The way I handle things is possibly a really, really bad way to go about, but I usually just repress shit until I forget about it.

I've had a few suicidal people come to me before, one of them being one of my current best friends that I talk to pretty much daily. He even read me his suicide letter before. I just couldn't say anything because I didn't know what to say, but I figured he just needed to vent his feelings towards someone, anyone who would listen. The guy didn't have any one at the time who really listened to him and everything he had to say, so I just let him talk on and on about what he felt about everything, no matter how gruesome and depressing it got for me. I just didn't know how to handle it and, honestly, I still don't.

Venting out your frustrations and your feelings help. That's why most people come to me for advice or I offer to give my two cents. It's pretty obvious in this day and age that there are a lot of expectations and some people can't live up to it. Plus, people would think society is getting better, but I'd only say it as far as technology goes. Racism will exist forever, bullying, wars, etc.

People just need to open up more rather than keeping their feelings inside, because it's just building up to a point that you can't take it no more.

I've never understood it tbh. I can see if you're sick or old and have nothing to look forward to other than your death, and hey you just want to end it there. It's the 12-16 year old girls that make it unreasonable and plain stupid.

They complain about stupid things and they always end up contradicting themselves. They say their parents give theme nothing - sent from their iPhone 5. It's a combination of stupidity and hypocrisy. I have experience because I'm in high school in this modern age. Girls are proud of their scars from cutting themselves. Wtf? They seek attention, so when they don't get it by senselessly hurting themselves they just end it. It's so much overreacting. I do have an example. A freshman, I believe, from my school ran away from home and was missing for 2 weeks. They claimed she was depressed and suicidal. She shows up after they found her and she's all happy. I don't understand some people's mindset.

They also never listen. They won't delete the all they're cyber bullied on, they won't talk to a friend or family member, and they wot seek help.

Reading over this post, I have no idea what I'm getting at :haha: This is something I could rant about for days, but it's not worth it. Unnecessary suicides are just going to keep happening because of society. It's ridiculous.

Suicide as a whole is a weak mind looking for an easy way out. It is careless and selfish. No matter who you are, what you've done, there is always someone who cares about you and to end your life and not consider the people left here to mourn your loss it greedy and cold hearted. In the case that a person is deathly ill and old, if they want to die, I believe they should have the right to pull the plug. That is the only way I see it as okay because if it wasn't for medical help, their body would die on its own, not that they would actually take a gun and off themselves.

I don't understand it, and never will. I have come across people saying they are going to do it, and never did/do it. My brother has brought up killing himself over stress but I told my mom, when he stops bringing it up is when she should worry. He is just stressed out with life. Many kids now a days, at least in America, talk about killing themselves. My own niece is one. Does she mean it? hell no! It is a shame that she has to talk that way though. People have become so rapped up in themselves anymore that if it is not all about them, life sucks. That is partially do to the media and how everything is advertised. Making people feel less than others over materialistic things. Add in the bullying of others, it is no wonder no one is happy. People just need to learn to not be so damn greedy. It is sick when you hear of a child killing himself/herself over being bullied because in most cases, no adult did anything to stop it and the kids who do it, usually say nothing.

Anyways... That is just my opinion on it. I feel bad that people have to even consider the idea.

Same. And try not to make so much of a mess if you do.
Pretty sure your bowels release no matter which way it all goes down.

That part will be tough for a lot of people to swallow but i agree 100%. I hate being told to do anything or that I can't do something that only really could hurt me.

I wouldn't call it selfish either as for whatever reasons people break and do it. Its not them being selfish they have just broken and for them there is only one escape and in there eyes its for the best, for them for the world everyone. To them they feel like they're doing there families a favour by committing suicide as they no doubt feel a burden for everything they might be bringing on people.

A lot of this is based of my experiences as on one occasion in my life I came very close and its difficult to explain my state of mind but it was mush and had been destroyed via negative thoughts of my own and negative actions of others beating me down mentally on a daily basis. Society also screwed with my head as everywhere I looked I saw how I was different and not the muscly guy, the fun guy, the rich guy an all that crap society tries to ram down our throats on a daily basis. I was at rock bottom heart and soul destroyed. I sought solace in alcohol daily I was usually drunk or so much of a wreck from the previous days drinking that I was still hammered. How I held down my job during this period I have no clue and I am thankful for my friend and at the time boss Danny who saved my ass from getting fired on multiple occasions. It took me a long time but I got help, tried the doctors way but that failed. For me I sat with a few close friends and poured everything out body and soul. Through these few people I slowly rebuilt myself into who I am today a guy who manages to turn most things into a positive a guy who realises that I do have things to offer this world and have a lot to live for. I look back now and it truly scares me how low I was for so long without realising until I hit bottom. All I can say is I'm glad for The Samaritans who I txt quite a lot in this time as through there input I managed to tell my good mates how low I had sunk.

Its a tough subject as if you talk about suicide you then talk about euthanasia as well which in a lot of ways I can agree with but until I was in that situation or knew someone in that situation I couldn't comment.

I look at it like this.. I'm fucking awesome, the thought would never cross my mind. I get one life and that's it.

As far as others committing suicide? Hey pimp, world's overpopulated do what you gotta do. You don't wanna be here anymore? Off yourself. Jump into Shamu's tank and go for a swim. Don't rush into the decision, take some time to think it out and if you really, really don't want to live anymore, nobody should tell you you have to.

People say that suicide is a selfish act, which may be true, but is it not any more selfish to ask a miserable person with no desire to live to continue to do so.. for what reason? Because you, his friends or family, want him to? THAT is selfish.

My PSA to suicidal people: Don't be a fucking dick about it. Call 911 before you do it so someone trained to deal with it can find you and not a poor unsuspecting family member. Don't be a fucking asshole and shoot yourself or cut yourself. Nobody wants to have to deal with your blood stains. If you are going to do it in the house, just go in the garage and turn on the car for a bit, go for a nap. OD on pills. Hell if you have a to how about a good ol fashion lynching? All much easier to clean up than you blowing your head to kingdom come or cutting yourself in the tub or some shit. And don't do it in a public place ffs. Bridges, tall buildings? You must be psychotic.

If you live near the ocean, just go out and start swimming. No clean up, nobody traumatized by your stupid lifeless body and your family might be able to convince themselves it wasn't a suicide, you were just a bad swimmer. Win/win/win.

I would say both parties are selfish, which was my conflict in my first post. It's selfish to surprise your family and everyone by being found in a closet or any of that kind of stuff, but society would prefer your parents get you forced medical treatment to just delay the inevitable. It's why the jack kevorkian argument is one of the most interesting way to debate it as far as i'm concerned.

It may suck for your family to find you at first, but like everything else time heals all wounds. Its better than your family dealing with your depressed, downer attitude for 30-40 more years.

buddy i've only known one person who committed suicide in my life, and the girl that found her say she still has night terrors almost 10 years later. I don't think you are giving enough credit to the humanity in some people, and who says people who are suicidal stay that way their whole lives?

To each their own. A friend of mine did right after high school. It bothered me a lot for a while but then I realized I'm still here and I have people that love me and who I love. So if he wanted out, good for him. I'm not gonna let it fuck me up.

yeah it's the same for me personally, but i can also understand why it really messes some people up for a long time.

This dude i went to hs has dated this girl since he was...16? and she was 14 (super religious people, whatever) and her brother shot himself in the face with a shotgun in his room with the family at home, i dont ask about it but i see posts about him on facebook still. The older i get the more i understand why more women eat pills and guys shoot their face off.
