I have never tryed to commit suiside and never will, but my theory is some people need some serious help.i mean they have so many problems that they obviously don't know how to deal with that it drives them crazy then leads them to kill themselves which is a dumb way to go IMO. Or mabey something tragic has happend in their lifetime like a loved one dieing and they may find it hard to live without them so they probley figure that there's no point of living without them which is a pathetic thing to think because u can find someone else. Or mabey they just have a phsycological problem and don't know what they are doing.Who knows????

[callmetootie]

This is a pretty sad story, but I just wanted to post it on this suicide topic. My friend's cousin Thomas was a straight A student, and was a really nice guy both to my friend, and me. A few years ago, he tried to commit suicide my hanging himself, as I remember. He was rushed to a "special" school, and he is still there today. He's still a nice guy, but we didn't know that the whole time he was very sick in his mind.

Ok heres a somewhat sad story of a 14 year old girl from Elizabeth Twp NJ 4 years ago. Before school one morning she took a whole box of Tylenol. At school she couldnt answer NE questions and kept falling asleep. When the school nurse finally got her too confess she was rushed to the hospital and her stomach was pumped. She had to stay in the Psychiatric ward for 6 months because she beleived her parents didnt love her. All because they were strict and didnt let her Date, or goof off alot. I mean 6 months? I mean some people do this and think it will all go away id they live, but this will linger on for years. I mean, all that and she had too spend 6 months locked up in a hospital, when it turned out that her parents loved her too death... literally.

I think that at some point in their lives, everybody has tried to kill themselves, or at least thought about it. Some people have it in their heads that they have the "worst life in the world and would be better off dead". But considering the world population of 6 billion, they can't have the worst life in the world. Some people just don't appreciate what they have and want it all, but can't have it. I think that whoever kills themselves is a really selfish person. No matter if they're aware or not, everybody have at least somebody that cares deeply about them. And committing suicide is the worst thing a person can do to themselves. They're only thinking about themselves, bot the people who love them. And that can hurt the people they love more than the so called problems that person had as a reason to kill themselves.

[NewsiesGurl229]

I can answer that for myself, I have 2 friends who commit suicide, 1 that tried and have major depression. For that i've tried 6 times in three years. I'm getting help for it though.

Hey just becuz you try to commit suicide doesnt mean that you are a sicko! I am a 14 year old alcoholic and it hin kabout it all the time and tonite something happened and i really wanted to do it but i didnt!

Cokies, I was wondering where I missed these posts, too! I never saw one--which is a good thing though I guess!

[EdBrownJr]

I think everyone has there own reasons for wanting to commit suicide. People deal with pain and depression in many different ways. Everyone and i mean everyone thinks about suicide one time in there life most wont do it where just curious as to why someone would want to end it all right there and then and wonder what kind of pain is in there hearts. One thing i can tell you about suicide its not the answer you only end up hurting all the people around you even if you think they dont care they really do and would miss the **** out of you. So if anyone is thinking of doing it just get yourself some help or something talk to someone.

I really haven't tried it, but I thought about it, because there were (and still are) girls in my school who try to get me to change, and it made me really upset. Luckily, I got over it (for now) and I don't talk or think about it anymore. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Yeah i new a girl like that. She hung herself because as roomer goes she didn't know how her mom would take her telling her that she wanted to live with her dad. To me her mom seemed to be nice but that was just around me. But she never seemed to be depresed whenever i was around her or anything.

[Cokies]

Jeez, some of you are blanantly stating "I've tried to commit suicide multiple times!". And then you say "Don't call me a sicko!".
I just don't get it.
Really, i'm just going to blunt... I think people who commit suicide are the biggest cowards in the world. It just means that they can't face their problems properly.

[Joanna Marie_1]

Am I gonna hafta start kickin some major ass? Yall aren't being fair! I'm not gonna mention any names....Cokies!!!!!!!! Yall have no rite to judge us cuz if you knew what we were goin throught then you would think bout it too! Usually if I feel suicidal I will just drink till I pass out! I'm too young to deal with all this sh** so yall just back the f*** off!

[HerDaddy]

Suicide isn't something that is easily explainable. I don't think any other form of death leaves as many questions as this one. Definitely in adolescense it is normal to think about it....and even in adulthood. It is a major symptom of depression but not the only symptom. I encourage anyone who has thought of it to talk to someone about it

[LaverneShirley]

Committing suicide does not mean you are a "sicko" as someone said. It means you have problems, and, selfish or not, you don't know how to deal with them. So you look for a way out, and death seems the only solution. Depression is the biggest cause of suicide, obviously, and that is a disease that people have no control over. It can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. I have never actually attempted suicide, but I've come pretty damn close so whoever thinks I'm "sicko" for it can shove it up your butt. You don't know everyone in the world who wants to kill themself, so shut up. You have no right whatsoever to judge them.

I am just -- shocked -- to hear that several of our members have considered ending their own lives.

Thanks, guys, for stepping back from the edge. It's important that you remember that you always have worth. That there's *ALWAYS* someone, somewhere, who is ready to help you sort things out. The bravest thing to do is ask for some help.

That being said ... I agree that there is nothing noble or romantic about suicide.

[NancyMcKeonFan8976]

PEACE OUT!

[KerriBerri687]

i have never actually tried it and doubt i ever will and i just want to say that people who do try are not sickos and have reasons. my best friend has thought about suicide many times and even tried it but thank g-d she has never suceeded. now, being her best friend i tried to figure out why she felt the way she did, i found out..im not gonna share,,but i found out and shez almost better rite now..anyway what im tryin to say is that people who feel this way have good reasons and should not be called sickos because they are not! they are not in the least cowards either! well..my job here is done! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hey, I said I was going to be blunt in my opinion. I still think people who have killed themselves ARE cowards, and that they can't deal with their problems. I mean, you stated yourself that you're "too young to deal with all this ****". You just proving my point right there. And then you resort to alcohol to "deal".
I'm sorry but I do have a few opinions about that...
And will you please use proper spelling and grammar when voicing your argument. Thanks.

"It was just like Saturday Night Fever, only it was a Friday."

[NancyJoJinny]

Well... I know alot about suicide. Ive never tried it, and i dont ever think that i will. But in my town suicide comes up all the time. We study depression as a major health unit. I am probably the only person in my house who thinks somebody who comits suicide can, and usually are, perfectly sane. I dont know if this is the case with NE of you but drugs, normal prescription ones can cause depression. And im sure everybody, subconciosly has thought "I just want to die" or "I want too kill myself" now i have... never more then a thought, nothing seriose. But i can understand. My life is not all good... as a matter of fact right now its getting kind of sucky. But i can handle it. And i actually respect some of you in a way for getting help and WANTING to get better. That surely takes courage. And i knowyou all said comitting suicide is cowardly, and it is. But at least, AT LEAST, they are alive and are well again. Good luck too all of you! Wow that was so nice of me... This is a change.

Ohh, c'mon! A grammer lecture? Geez, we get enough of that at school! I come here just to relax and take a break from that living hell!

If we have that, who knows? Next would be tuxs even though we can't see you, and we'd start serving es cargo! Alright, I'm going to shut up now...

[Cokies]

I'm sorry, but I couldn't really take you seriously while trying to decipher your spelling.
And I do have a clue about suicide. I really didn't want to get into my own personal life with this issue but... yes, I've had someone close to me who killed themself. They told no one about their problem and just did it. Of course I was sad, more than that, but to this day, I still think he's the biggest coward for not getting himself help. It was pathetic really, that he took away his life. What a waste.

I NEVER called anyone a "sicko', ever. I said they were cowards. I called my good friend a coward. Yes, you read right. Am I supposed to have shame calling him that because he's dead? He needed help, and he didn't ask for it. He was afraid to ask for help, simply.

------------------
"It was just like Saturday Night Fever, only it was a Friday."

[The T]

I'm afraid, that once again, I'm gonna have to agree with Cokies on this one. People that commit suicide are cowards...I think the main reason that they do is because they are insecure, or depressed...but that can all be solved with Jesus people! Read the Bible! It's all in there! You want someone to love you? Jesus has your whole life!

[NancyMcKeonFan8976]

Well Cokies...i don't know what to say! i feel bad for ur friend who died and all of ur other friends because u obviously don't really care about them. Suicide is a major issue of the centerary. (sp) bad!!!! sorry. any way! he should have asked for help...ur right, but he was not a coward he was just confused about his decisions and obviously u weren't there for him.

Joanna Marie_1- i totaly agree with u!!!!

[Graveyard]

After reading this topic, I just had to jump in and voice my opinion. See, I'm a social worker and I work at a shelter for at-risk youth. Basically most of the kids I see are teens who are in a lot of trouble, they've broken the law, they've been shuttled from foster home to foster home (most of the time it has been their fault) and many of them have been abused. Many of them talk about committing suicide. It is something that will get the attention of pretty much anyone. I don't believe that most of these kids would actually do it. There is something resilient about the human spirit. I know of plenty of kids who have tried it, well attempting suicide and not actually succeeding is merely a cry for help. Maybe there are situations in their lives that they have no control over and so they think the world would be better off without them. Attempting suicide is a form of control. Just like having an eating disorder or being 14 and an alcoholic...

Basically if you've attempted suicide several times and haven't actually suceeded, I'd venture to say that you don't really want to kill yourself, you just want some control. I don't know if I agree that it is a cowardly thing to do (although I can see where you're coming from Cokies) but it IS a selfish thing. If you don't think that people don't suffer when someone (even if they hardly knew them) commits suicide, then you're wrong. There is never any situation that can't be solved. Suicide is not the answer. If you're struggling get some help, there are plenty of programs, you're not a sicko, but someone who is struggling and needs some help thats all.

------------------
"Nat, Cool it! Nice girls don't throw trees!"

[LaverneShirley]

T, I personally agree with you about Jesus, but that really doesn't help Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, or Hindus, or agnostics or atheists or anybody but Christians.

Maybe there are people who attempt suicide for cowardly reasons. They're afraid to face the world, afraid of what will happen. But that doesn't not mean you should sterotype every single suicide attempter as a coward. That's like saying all people who never attempt suicide are the most courageous people there are.

[BlairW_1]

Um, you guys are the first ones I've ever told about this... Last year I didn't eat for a week because I wanted my friends to feel sorry for me, and I even hoped I'd pass out of something, but... I'm over that now, and I've found Jesus, so I think I'm ok. That's all I'm gonna say on this topic.

[Nancy McKeon is my idol!!]

Okay u people please stop fighting!!!
LIke I said some of my friends have tried it but I think its because they want to cared for or something is missing in their lives. So they aren't sickos they r just like u and I! okay! so please stop being soo rude and stope bickering!!

[Cokies]

LaverneShirley, yes, I shouldn't stereotype everyone who has attempted suicide. I'm thinking of ones who don't ask for help and just do it anyway.
And Graveyard, you are right, it is deeply selfish to take your own life. I meant cowardly in the sense that they couldn't just ask for help, and just "deal"( for lack of a better word). This is excluding people who are REALLY mentally unstable.
And to NancyMcKeonFan8976, of course he was confused about something! And don't pull that "you weren't there for him" junk, because I was. Many people were if he had just asked for help! His suicide was truely "out-of-the-blue". There was no one but him who could of done anything about it.

[JMPolniaczek15]

Ok, this isn't exactly an uplifting topic, but...Cokies, you're right that some people can help themselves but don't. However, some people with severe mental disorders or substance abuse problems have very little control over thier feelings and actions. In fact, schizophrenics have a very high suicide rate, because they are either on drugs or are so overwhelmed by thier disorder. I guess what I'm trying to say is, there are many reasons why people kill themselves, and so some probably shouldn't be so judgemental or make generalizations.
