Your opinion on suicide?

[RainbowMau 291]

What do you think about it? Have you ever wanted to kill yourself? If not anymore, what made you change your mind?

I've been considering on doing it lately, probably if my lovelife goal doesn't accomplish from here to my next birthday, I don't know, could be before, could be later, it depends on how I feel.

I once thought jumping of from a bridge when I was bullied, but after the support I got from here I no longer have those thoughts and I'm overall lot happier!

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

I once had suicidal thoughts. It was the middle of eighth grade and a lot of stressful things were going on in my life at once (problems at school, a medical isse, etc), and I felt that I couldn't handle them and didn't want to deal with them. Fortunately, I talked with some counselors and a doctor and I stopped having those thoughts within a month. (this was before I realized how bad suicide actually is, and how much it hurts people around you)

 

I really don't think suicide is the answer. You'd be missing out on a lot of other things in your life, like great friends and fun life experiences

I was not expecting a thread like that to pop up....

But no, I never considered suicide. I have a happy life.

 

I am not sure what to think about people who want to commit suicide. After all, it is their life and their choice. The reason why I do not have any opinions is because I do not think about that kind of stuff.

 

 

It is depressing, is it not ?

[NeedsMoreGoth 164]

My suicidal thoughts might have existed before I realized what a terrible thing suicide is. Suicide sucks because people who do it hurt the people who care about them and cause more suicide. Not to mention that you destroy a body capable of living while there are people out there dying of all kinds of problems and sicknesses who'd wish to have a body like yours.  Just think of the things that could happen in this world that won't happen if you kill yourself. 

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I've talked a lot of people out of doing it because I was once in their position and I was saved so now I'm returning the favor as for my opinion I'm not completely against it

[Darker 1,351]

Suicide is something unavoidable for someone who has problems. But once you see what your life can be in the future, you realize, it's stupid to lose it when you have so much to live for.

 

"Have you ever wanted to kill yourself?"

 

Hell no.

 

I will never think of doing such thing. I love myself and I love the ones that love me. I'm not going to make them sad because I commited the stupidest thing in existence.

Never. I think, that suicide is cowardice and when we do it, we hurt people, who depends on us. I'm not a person, who have a normal life, without any really problems, I had a hard childhood, because my father don't like me, because I'm not a boy and this was very painful for me. And I hate him for many other reasons, but no matter. I've never thought about death. I never want die.

This topic has been discussed before. I think there is nothing wrong with someone deciding to do it. Though personally I have dealt with suicidal thoughts for a very long time. So long that I've gotten used to feeling that way constantly. What has stopped me from doing it in the past is that each time something comes up or it fails.

[Invincible 2,091]

One of my best friends dropped one time that he thought about committing suicide, but that's the nice thing. There're those people who can talk about it, but they won't do it, and i knew my friend well enough to place him in that category. Sometimes people think they wanna do it because they feel they are in too much emotional / physical pain and think death is the way out. Not me, anyway.

 

I love myself too much to end my existence. Suicide is basically giving up, and i hate giving up. I'd rather go down not with a whimper, but with a bang. Fighting. 

 

That all being said; i think people need to be respected, and while they should be consulted when they're thinking about doing it, if they're truly in the right mind and spirit convinced that taking their own lives is the answer, they should do it. People should have the fundamental right over their own continued existence.

[Megas 27,629]

Suicide is a horrible thing and I really wish there was less of it in the world

[Fawkes The Phoenix 737]

What do you think about it?

As horrible as it is, i think that if someone wants to do it is ok, i really hate when people claim that if you commit suicide you're a coward.

 

Have you ever wanted to kill yourself?

No at all, and i've had terrible depression moments, but i'm always optimistic and i never give up.

[Leonard Smix 421]

Anyone who says that they agree with the thought of suicide.... I have no words for you.

 

-Suicide is the darkest and worst way to go. Even through the worst of times, there is no good in kill yourself. There have been many thoughts on why we live life, and I feel like these challenges such as depression and bullying are a test to see how strong humans are.

 

Suicide = no. And if you ever see a sign of it, stop it immediately

[Xenzy 15]

Didn't expect to talk about suicide on this site.

I feel like it's wrong.

It's not something that should exist.

I've been bullied for a long time, up until a year or two ago. Screw the bullies.

I never once tried to end my life, because no matter how unhappy I am, I care about my family, and that would overall hurt them, not just me.

It's quite a bad way to go, as well.

I can tell you why there is a lot of suicide in the world:

 

• People assume everyone functions the same. (left brained, extrovert, learn by reading, etc)
• The victims of bullies are the ones blamed.
• When a victim tells an adult, the adult doesn't do anything about it. (Even if the adult told them to tell a trusted adult.)
• People treat those who are different from them poorly. 
• People assume religion is the only way to happiness. (It's not.)
• People are very judgemental. 
• People who are overly sensitive are picked on. 
• People assume that everyone takes insults well and that insults will better others.
• People expect everyone to be as tough as them. 

 

Why I'm suicidal:

 

• I'm a right brained introvert who learns by listening. (I had trouble in school due to that.)
• I was often blamed when I got bullied. 
• The adults didn't do anything about the bullies, so naturally they kept on going. 
• I'm transgender and treated poorly by my sister. My sister also tells everyone I'm a girl. 
• People judge me for being short, dressing up, liking MLP, etc. 
• I'm very sensitive, and people pick on me because of that. I was called a cry baby more than I can count. 
• I can't take insults at all. Calling me a wuss or a freak will make me believe I'm a wuss or a freak. It won't make me try to prove I'm not. I'm not like that. 
• I am not tough at all. My mom treats me like crap because of that. 

 

Things won't change, so what's the point? 

 

 

[CheeryFox 23,821]

I am against suicide completely. I understand life can be overwhelming at times, but human life is very important. There's a purpose we all serve - sometimes you'll have to figure things out, and other times things fall into place. 

 

Suicide will never be an answer. The only answers you'll need is the truth that comes from the heart and not the pain that dwells beneath.

Yea when I see people tell about bullying the teachers and other guys don't do anything about it. I'm very sensitive and people always expect me to be tough, but I don't want to be tough. The society forces me to be someone that I'm not what is the reason of living the life if I can't be who I am. 

 

Other people hurt me they don't treat me nicely I've never done anything bad for them and they just call me names and stuff like that. People these days are pretty ignorant. It's really hard for me to overcome these things, because the pressure is always on me.

 

I just want to live without my chains and I want out of my body. My body doesn't prison me here on the forums. If you ever see me IRL you probably don't even know me.  I know you guys don't know how I feel but I just feel that I can't express myself through the outlets my body suggests me. Like speaking or being in contact with other beings.

[DubWolf 17,263]

I have to agree that it's a "permanent 'solution' to a temporary solution". Why would I want to end my suffering if there is nothing good or at all afterwards? At least I'll be able to think about happy things if I'm upset . I've never seriously considered it.

Aww, I'm pretty sorry to hear that . Glad you're ok now .

[Discordian 6,015]

Suicide is the weak man's way out of a tough situation. It's also permanent. You don't get the choice to make up for it. You don't have any chance of changing things once you've succeeded. You're doing yourself a disservice by even contemplating it.

 

Instead of wasting your brain power trying to figure out why, when and how you're gonna end your life you could be using that time figuring out how to change the situation that's causing you to think that way. If the conventional routes aren't working then go with the unconventional. Break out of your comfort zone and do things you normally wouldn't.

 

And for the love of god, of all things to kill yourself over, don't let it be because of a failed love life. There's a million other things to enjoy in life and a million other people to enjoy it with. Find something you actually enjoy and focus on that for awhile any time you even start thinking about suicide. Your life should not be so worthless to yourself as to be dictated by the actions and even mere existence of another person. Your life's worth is yours to decide and to create, don't base that worth on something so uncertain.

That's the thing. I am weak. 

[Hovershy 3,814]

I am most definitely against suicide, life is full of ups and downs and we all have so much potential, throwing your life away is a huge waste. You CAN make a difference in the world no matter who you are. I've never really had any thoughts of suicide myself.

 

Back in middle school, one of my classmates killed himself. I wasn't good friends with him, but I did see him a lot at school and he was a kid who picked on and bullied a lot. The day he killed himself, I went on facebook, I saw all these posts saying RIP *his name*, and such. A few from his friends, but every kid who had bullied him had also done this, some pretending they were good friends with him. This made me sick to my stomach, It's crazy what guilt can do to people.

 

The only time I will ever support suicide is when someone is in agonizing physical pain. If you really want to end your life and your doctor believes it to be the right thing to do, so be it. We use euthanasia on dogs, why can't humans have the option?

[Discordian 6,015]

That's the thing. I am weak.

You know it and you seem to know why. Now's the time to change it. You don't have to prove yourself to anyone but yourself so don't think I'm just telling you to toughen up. If you can't take insults well then I'd say to figure out why these insults bother you so much in the first place and try to resolve whatever mental or emotional issues you have with them. An insult rarely affects anyone unless there's truth to it or you believe there's truth to it.

 

If your life were to end soon, even by your own hand, then it would be a good idea to fully understand your problems and try to resolve them rather than just using them as a reason or excuse to commit to the action. Maybe you've done this before and maybe you've succeeded on some level.

 

Being weak doesn't mean you only have one choice, it just means your path to victory will be a little harder than others.

[Ryzu 984]

Heh... Suicide. Every day I want to commit suicide. I hate living so much, after being separated from the people I loved. 7th grade I attempted suicide because of harassment at school, harassment at home, self-hatred, and overall being alone. At school there was this kid who would do anything to put others down. He called me the same things I call myself a thousand times over, including my least favorite one a coward. Hearing someone else say it made me believe it was true. At home my stepfather made and still makes fun of me for who I am and what I do. Then loneliness because I was socially awkward most of my life because my parent didn't have the time to raise me. When I tried to commit suicide I decided I didn't care if it would hurt or not because I'd be dead in a few seconds.. I decided to take the largest butcher knife from my kitchen and slice my neck open. I held it up to my neck in a prepared position and then thought if I'd regret dying. At the time I had none. I hated everyone for causing me or refusing to help stop causing me pain. I also loved everyone as well because I taught myself everyone is equal. I didn't care what others would think though. Then I tightened my grip on the knife and was ready to slice. A memory popped into my head. I'm not even sure if it was real or just my brain trying to stop me. My best friend as a child, Ethan, wanted us to make a best friend's promise. He was a huge Naruto fan and I think just quoted the show or something, but the promise was to never give-up, never back down, stay true to your word, and to always believe. I have held honor high my entire life. I do not break promises. I dropped the knife and ran to my room in tears. I cannot die nor let myself be killed because of it.

 

In conclusion, suicide to me is... well the end. If you have people in your life still that love, care, and support you, don't. Forget friendship being magic. Love is magic. 'Magic' is your life force, or spirit. Makes you who you are. If you don't have any you become an empty shell like I am, and end up trying to constantly keep yourself distracted so you don't die. Life is precious. There is a girl I love who has the same wish as me; to die. She cuts herself unlike me (even though I have constant urges I'm contracted against it) but she is like the sweetest, most beautiful, amazing girl. If she died after what she did for me I would be so heart-broken. No I can't date her or anything, mainly cuz we have nothing in common, but that doesn't stop me from loving her. If you have love or the ability to attain it, don't die. There's nothing more amazing in this world (at least to me) then love.

[iceestarz 5,764]

I'm not gonna lie, I've thought about suicide a few times. Obviously I've never gone through with it. The thing that stopped me from doing it was my family. My mom and my sister actually. I have major social anxiety and it is such a difficult thing to deal with.

 

I'm actually sitting in a waiting room at the doctors so I can get a referral to a psychiatrist right now.

 

It's such a horrible topic to think about but it's very real, it's a very horrible thought process for anyone to think about. I mean suicide may be a difficult thing for those who are sitting there wondering why they would do it but it hurts the person who did it just as much.

[Movealge 104]

I think people are too quick to judge people who commit suicide. I'm not saying it's an answer, and if you know someone who is suicidal then of course you need to intervene, but you don't know what was going through their heads that made them do that. The fact that someone is so miserable, so devoid of hope that they decide death is a better option is not something people should be mocked and judged for.
