Suicide

[jin_sakura226]

A girl name Jamie commited suicide on the beginning of november of this year in my school by hanging herself. Everyone said she looked happy and she didn't leave a note or anything. This week another girl name Grace a freshmen cheerleader who's sister is a varsity cheerleader hung herself as well. Grace had just argue with her sister and family members right before she commited suicide. Everyone is sad today because another girl has just died. :cry: All the hope and dreams of these two girls are gone now. I read in a recent seventeen article that a boy commited suicide as well because he got tired of being bullied by another boy in school. Suicide is never an answer, it is like running away

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't do it though because it isn't worth it

 

 

 

even if it is over a fight or if ur depressed

 

 

 

Anyone else got some suicide stories ?

Eek. That stinks. Sometimes I think suicide is a way out for the weak.

Sometimes it's better to get away than to be trapped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My grandfather took an overdose. He wasn't even sixty. My mum had an unhappy childhood and I think she was kinda glad to get him out of her life, though it's not for me to judge.

My roommate's friend killed himself about a month ago, and he had to fly back to Vancouver BC for the funeral...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We're in Ottawa and we were in the middle of midterm exams back then...

It has nothing to do with being weak. It has to do with your circumstances. Ill use myself as an example. My dad died almost 4 years ago when I was 14 and me and him were super close. I felt like I had lost everything and thought about suicide. Its not because Im weak its just that at the time I didnt think life was worth it (the pain and suffering). But now Im happy I didnt! Never do something like that!

Suicide hurts your family and friends more than you. Of course, you'd be dead. But you're causing them hell.

Okay.....Get over it? It's sad and all, but that is no reason to kill yourself. I still think it's a way out for the weak. It is okay to grieve and all.

It's not mine or your place to judge people who commit suicide. Let them rest in peace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think suicide is one of the saddest things on the world today. The thought of people dying of sadness really hurts me, its just one of those things that really gets to me deep down inside. I know a few people who tried to commit suicide and it really made me sad to think that those people I knew were hurting inside so much they wanted to die.

That's why I said 'I think'. I know some people have rough lives, but I think the sign of a strong person is someone who looks for support in those situations and not someone who thinks about ending their life because something happened.

[Tbfgraphx14]

I thought of it, lol. My grades were so bad and my parents hated me. The only thing that made me happy was rs, and I got grounded from it.

:!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I lived the same history as you... plus I was 14 too when my dad died due to a cancer -.- But by that time he had been ill for a long time and somehow I knew he would die, so when it happened I kinda expected that... I was surprised I hadn't any desire of suicide but I was living with my mother at this time, I really didn't wanted to hurt herself more than she already was. I knew that we would have to survive because that was what my father would have wanted. So I tried and continued with my life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our histories are so similar, but we reacted on a different way :-k

[Turnip]

I honestly think that people that commit suicide are selfish. While they try and escape their lives, they cause pain and suffering to those that cared for and about them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to dark_ice - you talk about how much pain you went through with your dad dying, now just think of the pain you'd inflict on those who cared about you if you chose to commit suicide.

[Futurama]

A teacher in a school down the road where a lot of my friends went hung himself in class after school. He left a note saying "don't come in, just phone the police."

 

 

 

wife had just left him and took the kids and house or something.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

theres a lot of teenage suicides about...people should learn to deal with their problems and change their lives, not end them...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

shame about that girl tho, bset thing you can do it mourn her death. i still don't believe any suicide s justified...

[deloriagod]

I have to say suicide is the cowards way out. If you can't deal with your problems then there is someone who can help. No need to kill youself over it. When I was in 6th grade one person in my school killed him/herself and another attempted but failed and was in critical condition for some time. I have to admit I don't have the guts to kill myself. Maybe if I had a gun but there's no way in hell I could hang myself..

Well there are people who have no one that cares for them... :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would you still feel they are selfish?

Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinions, you three clearly do not know the first thing about the mindset of someone who commits suicide. It is not just the feeling of wanting to be free, or of sadness, it is the feeling of being completely trapped and not being able to talk to anybody about your problems. Most suicides occur in men, and most ofthose in young men. This is because young men are the worst at communicating and discussing their problems. They bottle it up until they cannot cope. It is not a matter of being weak, or cowardly or selfish, it is a matter of sheer desperation, something which I doubt you, or many people have experienced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People used to be prosecuted if they tried to commit suicide and failed, because it was seen as a sin and something that the person ought to be made to pay for. Nowadays the human mind is understood better and physcologists have realised that these people need help, not punishing more. Can't you three take the same view?

I doubt it's that hard to pick up a telephone and call a counselor.

[Futurama]

people kill themselves because they find their life so bad they can't cope with it or because they don't think straight. they do need help, not punishment. im sure when people pick up a razorblade they don't think "christ im so selfish, this is against my religion." they need to talk to someone, even go into foster care if they're young.

 

 

 

still, you've got a point: not all of us quit when the going gets tough...

If it was that easy, life would be perfect...

[rushrock]

i personally think that suicide is ok in some ways...but for the most part its pretty bad. suicidals say "the world hates me, i should die", but they have no idea what they do to the people when they leave them...for good. the sadness u leave behind...cant compare to any sort of relief from killing urself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

however, if someone has absolutely nothing or noone to live for, sometimes, suicide might be the right way...the torment some people go through...its very sad :cry:

no offence, but that statement proves that you know nothing about suicide. Its more than just the stupid "selfish" and "cowardly" theories presented previously. Judging by what you've said, you've never looked in the mirror and asked yourself, "why? whats the point?" it takes a lot of courage to kill yourself. The OP posted himself, ordinary people, those who you would never suspect, are the ones that kill themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you may see as not being worth it, but you're not the one with the pressure or reason to value life less than you do. No one is in a position to judge them.

Yes, I'm sure that going to the yellow pages, picking out the first counsellor, Dr. A. Andrews, ringing them up and pouring out your deepest darkest secrets and woes to a complete stranger is th first thing that occurs to a manically depressed, suicidal person who feels that they have nothing left to live for in the world :roll:

[Giordano]

Say you were going to be physically tourchered for 10 years straight then you'll die. A life of pain and suffering. Would you live up to that, or just kill yourself right there?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now change the pyshical tourcher, into big problems in someone's life. MAJOR problems...Now please tell me if thats the coward way to escape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People who plan to kill themselfs need help. And just by calling someone wont help, it has to be someone they highly care for, or cares about them.

I completely agree with you. And I think that it's going to become an increasingly larger problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've contemplated suicide more times than I can count. I don't know how long I've been living with depression, but I started seeing a psychologist about it when I was in 9th grade at the age of 15. I went on medication for it when I was 16. And I have to say that it sucks. It really really really sucks. There have been some people who have asked me to explain what depression feels like, and there aren't even words to describe how terrible and painful it is. Under those circumstances, I can see how someone could consider suicide. I know people say that suicide is a "permanent solution to a temporary problem" but when you are depressed, it certainly does not feel that way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's taken me a long time of therapy and medication just to get this far and sometimes, though I am satisfied with my life, though I am reasonably happy, I STILL contemplate suicide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We as humans have always avoided pain, and have always learned to avoid situations in which we are certain we will experience pain. But, with depression, it's a different kind of tormenting pain that comes without warning. And when we can't escape it, we consider extreme measures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't necessarily consider it a way out for the weak, nor do I consider it disgraceful. I just see it as sad.

None taken. Okay...define more please? If you're going to say that, you need to be more specific. Actually, I have asked myself why. You want to know the answer? It's because of love and God (or faith). You love those around you. Most of all, I love myself (not in a prideful way). See, that's strength. Pessimistic people, in my view, are weak. I also see suicide as a way to cheat yourself out of life. Suicide is a sin (in my faith).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you sympathize with those who hate themselves. My mother always taught me that in order of people to love you, you must love yourself. Suicidal people do not love themselves. That is weakness. There are always, always people who can help you.

Yeah, basically. Although, I would advise a school counselor. I mean isn't that what they're for?
