People should be able to do what ever they want to do with their lives and no one has the right to dictate any one elses decision because of their self righteous one sided morals.

I absolutely hate when people say suicide is a selfish act. That statement itself is selfish. First of all why should you endure pain for the comfort of others in your life while they live ok lives. Sure people can say that their will always be pain in life and you should persevere through it mumbo jumbo mumbo jumbo..... Human beings are variable and not all people can endure what another can. But so what if you can endure, why endure if you dont want to. You should be able to end YOUR life for the simple fact that your bored or can't bother. If you want to say suicide is cowardice well I say to you welcome to humanity we all are cowards. If you want to escape your problems eternally then go ahead. What's the point of bravery if even in the happy times there is still that shadow in your heart and the pain is a slow subtle pulse still there ready to intensify.

Leave people to do what they want with their own lives and stop judging

I have to say I'm against suicide. I'm not religious, therefore I'm of the belief that I only get one token in the arcade machine. I'm gonna give this game all I got even if some of the levels get sucky. I'm of the optimistic viewpoint that better levels are just around the next checkpoint. I'd like to encourage every other player to do the same.

Actually, I have contemplated suicide before. When I was small, like 6-7 years old, there were all kind of sentimental stuff on TV, in which the characters just kill themselves whenever they feel like it. I thought "This is cool", so whenever I got pissed, I went straight to my room and tried to do it. Wonder why I have never really done it myself

yep.. a few times before but, not anymore..I think lol
strangely when I wanted to die I don't and when I don't want to die I get into a near-death accidents.
like when I thought my life was getting better, I drowned over 9 times, almost got run over by a car while driving a go-cart, almost got hit by a car when walking across the street(happened a lot), 5 bike accidents, almost got stabbed by a knife(when I was cooking), almost got attacked by a fox when taking a stroll outside<in my backyard> (thankfully I was holding a metal pipe), etc...hahaha
it's probably no laughing matter but, well thats how my life is, I most likely attract misfortune.

I have thought about commiting suicide many times, starting when I was thirteen, when my mom called me a b_tch. It's mainly because of my mom that I have wanted to die. Recently though, it's because of both my parents. I've never been depressed before though... just really freakin` sad. But thank goodness I have friends, cousins, and an older brother.

Oh yeah, and I'm a confirmed Catholic, yet I stopped believing in God before my mom forced me to be confirmed. She made me quit band and the local youth symphony orchestra because she said they got in the way of church. Even though I made the all-state honor orchestra last year (I was ranked #7 out of all the flute players that tried out in Oklahoma), she still wasn't proud of me.

Edit:

Recently I've been having suicidal thoughts because then I wouldn't be a financial burden on my parents.

________________

I had 2 uncles commit suicide. The 1st uncle I didn't know since I was around 1 year old while the 2nd one committed suicide around 5 years ago. I kind of know because of what he committed suicide but still I do not approve his or other suicides for any reason whatsoever. I never thought of killing myself nor I ever will. True I do not know how depressed people feel because I am a positive person and I never felt depressed. Sad maybe but even with the worst grades and being bullied I never ever though of killing myself.

It's true that some of those who committed suicide were abused sexually and so on but still I think that you must fight the source not kill yourself. You are never defenseless and even if you don't have the power always struggle to fight against it. Cause if I was abused I would punch the abuser in the face even if the abuser kills me in the end. At least I know I fought against it. As for the bullies that made fun of me for years I just said to them f you and eventually they stopped. I even got in a fight with one of them. I did get a beating but hey, they never bullied me again cause I put up a fight, and the teachers said they would expel us all if it would happen again so...

Anyways, if you want to kill yourself DON'T! You might think it's your life but it FUCKING ISN'T! You didn't get life yourself. Your mother did and father. And for those who believe in God, the God gave you the soul and only He can take it away. However I don't mean that you can't make any decision for yourself but taking something away that you didn't get yourself is selfish and stupid.

For the people who claim that "Suicide is cowardly"

Have you ever been through that?
Seen someone close to you ready to die?

I have never had the desire to kill myself and I cannot imagine the amount of pain a person in that state must suffer.
But I do know how painful it is to watch.

Don't these people deserve pity, not anger/ignorance?



Saying that fighting against abuse is easy? How cruel.
Abuse is a lot more than just a fight with a few bullies in school.

I like ur post.

As I said I haven't ever though of killing myself but I had an uncle with which I was really close. Actually I was the last person who spoke to him and when I heard what he did I was in shock. Right now what I want to do to him is smack him in the face just because he committed suicide.

So you're saying that depressed people deserve pity. Well to be honest with you I don't feel pity to them at all. Have you ever heard of that girl that was trapped in the basement for 20 years? Did she commit suicide? No she didn't. She tried to survive and eventually she broke free and even though she is still haunted by the memories she still keeps living. Or what about that woman that half of her face was shot off by a shotgun by her husband. Again, she didn't commit suicide but learned to live with it and after countless of operations she got herself a new face. And what I just said is just the beginning. People have cancer and still fight it and live long lives. It's all about the mentality of the person. If you have the will to fight it than you won't ever get depressed and the though of suicide will never come to your mind.

Also I never said fighting abuse is easy but they should at least try to and not just sit there and give up.

Sometimes trying to fight an abuse means worsening it. Nothing will change if the person don't fight it, but at least, in some people's mind, it also means the abuse won't get any worse. You can't blame them for that, as you've never been in their shoes. You don't know their perception of the situation.

People are never defenceless? If you were abused you'd punch the person in the face? (sorry too lazy to quote you're previous post)
In what kind of fairy tale do you live? You can say that because you've probably never been abused, or not seriously. You've never been in the state of mind of a person being abused.

As you said, and that's probably one of the only point I'll agree with, it's all about mentality (well not totally thought). As everybody is different, everybody has a different mentality. You can't expect everybody to be strong minded enough to "fight".

I think it's the 1st time I've read something like that (well I haven't read all the posts of the topic)



Well yes it is. "our" life I mean. You know yesterday my mother got me a book at the bookstore, and now it is mine. It must seems silly as an example, but what I mean is, it isn't because my mom gave me my life, that I must spend it like she wants. I'm not her thing that is alive because she wishes for it. I'm alive because I and only I wish for it. And if it seems selfish to you, then I'm extremely selfish.

As for suicide itself, I'm not suicidal in the least. I sometimes have wondered "how would it be like like whithout me around?" but it has never been more than mere daydreams.

I don't think suicide is cowardly. Nor it is selfish.

Someone who doesn't want to go on living, what can one do about it? People real close to me have tried, and not just one time. Only to die from something else (don't know exactly, was too young). I didn't understood why they were all crying since that's what the person wanted (well I now understand that a death is a sad event, but still, it was what he wanted and I will not conceide it.)

I think, it is more selfish to prevent someone from doing it for your own wish. People have to realise that they live for themself, and if they don't want to, they are free not to. When someone continue on living for XXX (this also applies for parents) or YYY (in tv shows, real situation life etc), the only think that comes to my mind is; what about if XXX or YYY has a big fight with you, don't want to see you again or even dies, are you going to be suicidal again? Are you going to have them carry such a burden, or to always worry about you? I'm not saying people who are suicidal but never do it out of consideration are in the wrong, but I hope for them that it will not result in a greater pain for someone else.

________________

against it.

suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I've been growing fond of the idea for the last few years. I do consider it seriously and I only haven't done it yet because I don't have the courage. Don't get me wrong, when I say I don't have the courage it's not like I fear death, on the contrary I'd welcome it but I'm insanely scared of everything that could wrong. There's no way that I know of that is certain kill, so there's always that small chance and if you survive your life will get even worse.
Because of that I don't think I'll ever be able to do it.

When I hear people say life's worth it I have to control the urge to laugh. People often say stuff like that: "Think about those poor starving kids in Afrika, do you think you really have a bad life?". I don't have the worst life in the world. Indeed there are millions of people worse than me but that's not the point. If you could only get sad when you were the most miserable person on earth than everyone would walk around with a smile on their faces. In my case I look at my future and I see a road covered in pain, unhappiness, unfulfillment, difficulties, despair and humiliations. Worth it?! For what? I'll have a miserable life so why even bother. I know most people roll their eyes when they hear this and say "Here we go again..." but for me that is the actual truth. Like 5 years back I used to think stuff like "It's gonna be different when I'm in High School. I'm gonna be a different person. I'll get good grades and when i leave High School I'll have a bright future.". Now I know that it was a pretty pink vision of a future that is quite impossible. Things got worse instead of getting better and at least now I have a realistic vision of what's ahead. And things won't get better mainly because of me. Yes, I don't blame my current unhappiness and lack of achievement on anyone but myself. I'm way beyond that point. It's me. I'm the one who can't do any better. That by itself is a proof that things can't get any better.
I'll study like hell in college so that I'm able to go out into the real world and enter an acceptable job (my capabilities don't allow me to excel at anything so acceptable is all I can get. If you wonder what I mean by acceptable I'm talking about a normal 9-5 office job or something along those lines). In that job I'll have to work hard in order to get money to survive. I'm terrible at socializing and everything associated with that so better not go that way. Every day I'll work to maintain my miserable life which I'll hate so very much. I'll work till I can't work anymore for health problems. Then I'll be alone suffering physically, psychologically and emotionally, regretting not having courage enough to end it when I was younger. Considering this how could I not laugh when I hear "Things will work out", "Life's worth it", "Happiness awaits you in your future"?

Really sorry about the long rant guys . I didn't realize how big it was until I actually stopped writing.
