Suicide anyone?

Recently something happened that I can’t seem to get away from, everyone is talking about it, and there are a lot of opinions on it out there, but I can’t help to be a bit harsh about it. This is purely how I feel on this subject, and in no way am I trying to offend anyone, so sorrie if it happens, but deal with it. :P

Within the past week, a 16 year old boy that goes to my sisters high school killed himself. He left behind an identical twin brother, a 7 year old sister, and some devastated parents. Wondering why he did it? Because earlier that evening his girlfriend broke up with him… kidding? I think not… this is a very unfortunate event, but come on, 16 fucking years old, he had a long life ahead of him, seriously, how in love can you be at the age of 16 to want to kill yourself over something so pathetic…

Regardless: R.I.P Shane Gourd, you are loved, and you will be missed.

About a year and a half ago, my little brother had a friend, who had an older sister, who killed herself…hung herself in front of her daughter, who was just months into her brand new life. Now, what could she have possibly been thinking? Does she know how it makes people that loved her feel? Obviously not, considering within a week, her cousin (who was an ex boyfriend of two of my best friends) hung himself in his prison cell. Coincidence? I think not…

Regardless: R.I.P Dannielle & Ricky Christian, you are loved, and you will be missed.

A few years ago, a girl I knew… her dad killed himself… her dad… someone that she loved more then anything. I bet he didn’t think about what it would feel like for his family that loved him, or even his friends.

Regardless: R.I.P Sir, you are loved, and you will be missed.

Now, with that said, I truly don’t believe how anyone could want to possibly take their own life. How selfish do you have to be to stop your life, when the rest of us, the people that loved you, still go on… do you realize how truly fucked that is, what a fucked up life we have to live, because someone we cared about and loved killed themselves? No matter who you are, you’ve touched another life, you’re here for a reason, it might not always seem like it, and yes, it does get hard, but it Will get better.

For those of you that are looking towards this route, think about it, think about how many people love you (I promise, there are people out there that love you, even if it doesn’t feel like it), think about what you are doing, talk to someone, for fucks sake, get help… because there’s always another way.

I want to know you’re opinion on this topic, weather you’ve had a loved one pass on for this reason or not.. so leave a comment, dp mail me, IM me… I just want to know.

Can you pay me if your wrong, become responsible just in case your wrong when ya said, *it Will get better* Seriously, you have an opinion, so do I. We all do, and you know what most the time they suck. Selfish is for me or anyone to live FOR ME the one person in the world you should live for is YOURSELF not anyone else. and to end this trite commentary; Fighting for Peace is like fucking for Virginity...

um, make yourself happy? Think happy thoughts? Depend on others to make me Happy? Um, I do not depend on anyone to make me happy I do not intend on making myself happy either, if life is a gift, then it is mine to do with whatever I want. If I gave you some flowers for your birthday, then ask you to make sure you take care of them, but since you do not know me, then why on earth would you, unless of course YOU wanted to. If I am given something, then well ISN'T mine to do with what I want to? sigh, I tried the *life will get better* bs but, you know what, some people do not recover obviously otherwise people wouldnt die

Yeah.. better to make someone who is misrable live then let them go, I mean, hell I should definatly stay alive out of sheer guilt that my suicide would hurt others... Then again I live in a Warzone, so I suppose it wouldnt be suicide lol. There was a firefighter who killed himself sort of just being stupid and picking up a mortar round that hadnt gone off untill he picked it up.... Suicide or stupidity? im 100 k in debt, donated a kidney to a guy who is now dead, no family anymore, all I have is work, and considering people die here quite often I will just be replaced, there will be a 5 min memorial and thats it end of story,

You really wanna die because Bush is an idiot and we're in a war for no reason? So what if you don't have family, don't you wanna get married and have kids someday? I know that life sucks a lot sometimes... I just lost my apartment because i got into it with the wrong people and they got addicted to Herion, so i kicked them out, got beat everyday by my boyfriend after they left, lost my job, i'm over 20,000 dollars in debt and i'm back at my moms, and everyone here is hostile and and negative, and there's no respect. My life is rubbish right now, and i feel like a big worthless piece of shit because i can't find a job and i'm living on my moms couch, but things could always be worse, and I can almost guarentee that they will get worse before tehy get better. But thats what you gotta keep reminding yourself, that they will get better.

How many people are out there with deseases that are slowly eating them alive, that are fighting constantly to live just one more day to see their mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and friends take their healthy lives because they think they're worse off then them? when really there only thinking about themselves.

Holy crap where did I say I wanted to die cause bush is an idiot. All I am saying is some people DO not recover from depression or whatever you want to call it. No matter what anyone says Killing yourself is not a cowardly act staying alive and misrable just because of other people is. And Hey! I donated a kidney, so, obviously I care abit about others I at least tried to help someone out on my exit. The thought of suicide is great solace on a long lonely night, and workin in a place where I know at almost anytime I can make it happen well that is the most comforting thing that I have in my life.

i used to be manic depressive, and i still do have depression, i cry on a daily basis, and it does suck, and i have thought about killing myself, a lot, but i would never do it, no matter how much i want to, becasue i know it will get better, that G-d will help me through this.... my boyfriend and myself have had many conversations about depression, and he's told me that depression is hereity, that if your mom is depressed when shes pregnant then your body will automatically make more depression receptors then it should because thats all it knows. Depression, the way you handle stress, your happiness, it's all maped out for you before your even born. But feeling sad all the time isn't just that, if you think happy instead of just wishing and hoping that you are, you will be, and i know that its hard, and i'm working through it too, but its the truth. You can't depend on other people to make you happy, you have to make yourself happy, and most people don't realize how true that is.

I see what you say. But I think it's more selfish to force someone to live who doesn't want to. That being said, suicide is the worst funeral to go to. My best friends mom killed herself and I still am shocked to this day. Not sad, not angry, just surprised. Sort of happens out of the blue. Spirals downward.

I've never had anyone I know kill themselves. I've wanted to a million times, but I have children and I'd hate to think of never seeing them again, or getting to beat some guys ass one day for trying to have relations with my daughter.

depression is an illness, and like most others- it progressive. Without help, it can be fatal.

the first situation, (and i'm not trying to be a bitch, i'm just trying to get my point across) so what, his girlfriend broke up with him, maybe he was depressed about it, but get over it, there's plenty of good reason to still live...

oops, i fucked that up, oh well... anyways, to get to my point on replying to sharon rose's comment is... people need to stop thinking so much about the negatives and start realizing that things for them could be so much worse, and in reality,

they're just making it a million times harder for people around them, they need to stop being so selfish as to think that the world is better off without them, because it's not.

and that point, about selfishness, I do agree with...as gbuff said, it's a progressive illness and without help, people will NEVER see the selfishness, all they will ever see is the pain inside themselves,

and the only way they'd help themselves is if they're the one in a thousand (like me) who can see the selfishness before it kills them...most people will never see it on their own and need others to help them..they don't need blame or shame..they need hel

*help...not that I'm so special, that I could snap to on my own; traditional ways of helping don't work because I see straight through them and there was really no one that could help me but me...most people need others to show them the way, though.

I only have one comment: for the woman who hung herself, there is a condition called post partum depression. It's chemical in nature and can even become severe enough to pass into post partum psychosis..

this is what causes new mothers to sometimes harm their children..I am not making any excuses for what she did, but until you have been there, you have no idea what the hormone let down after you give birth can do to your brain.

blaming someone with this condition for their unhealthy actions is tantamount to blaming someone with schizophrenia for listening to voices..they literally have lost control of their minds and cannot control what they do...

if she was like this, I have to wonder where the hell her 'loving family' was that they didn't see it..and the possiblity is, she may have ended her life in an attempt to stop herself from harming her child.

I don't like the way you portray suicide. Being a person who has attempted I know it takes a lot to get to the point. Sometimes life isn't worth living. Sometimes the pain is greater than the love. Depression is as common as cancer, divorce rates are high
