Suicide

[CHaRiSMa]

Have you ever thought of suicide? Or have you ever tried to commit (sp?) suicide? Has sb you love commited suicide??

[Hayate]

Hell no! I'm too happy with my live to put an end to it...isn't that obvious 0_o

[Sorairo]

A while back, I was depressed so I thought about it alot. But now you can tell that Im happy again, and would never think of killing myself the way I am now.

Someone I know thinks they are suicidal, but they're the furthest thing from suicidal, mostly because they dont, and never will have the guts to do anything to themselves, but also because they are faking and I know it.

[Starfish Prime]

Plenty of times. I've wanted to, and came close to trying to a few times.

Never actually tried, though.

I'm too big a wuss to ever do it so I'm not worried about my safety.

And I've been fine recently so whatever.

A few of my friends have tried before but I haven't had any of them succeed. Two were very close people to me.

[Warheart]

Yeah, but like...who hasen't?

More out of curiousity than actually depression, and never actually acted on it.

[22sa]

All the time. =x But it's against my religion, so I never attempt it.

No, I have not had a loved one commit suicide before though.

[Loyal Arcanine]

Like Murderface, I've only thought about it out of curiosity. I wouldn't do it though. I'm very happy with my life at the moment. It's also not a Christian thing to do.

I had a friend in high school though who was pretty serious about it. He had trouble with his girlfriend who was emo and he was getting pretty emo himself. He was cutting in his wrists and all that stuff, but he never really did it. Eventually he got over it.

[Shiranui]

I've never been that depressed, that I would even go and think about doing such a thing like that. I guess it's just because I generally lead a happy life, and I know that everything will work out for the good in the future...

And no, no one I love has ever committed suicide. No one I know has ever tried to do it.

[Digital Mage]

Thought about it.. Never seriously considered it though. I'm not sure I'm capable. Few things could compell me to go that far.

[Kayleigh]

No, it has never been something that I've even thought about doing... There have been times when I've been unhappy, but I don't dwell on any of my problems. I just make the best of the way that my life is going, and move on.

My religious beliefs are mainly what help me to keep myself very grounded. Since commiting suicide is totally against what God would want, I'd do whatever it took to prevent myself or anyone that I cared about from going to such an extreme when they were unhappy. It's sad when you hear about people who did completely give up on life like that. ._.;

[Kenji~]

I've thought about it before, but never seriously thought about trying.

[Himawarii]

Although I hate myself and wish I could die sometimes,I've never actually attempted suicide,nor has anyone I know.

[22sa]

Although I hate myself and wish I could die sometimes,That's because you think about bishounen too much. :P jkjkjk

[Careful With That Axe, Pichu!]

I find the mere thought of suicide selfish and imprudent. So, yeah, that's a no.

[Lil' Schu]

Never thought about it. I had someone fairly close to me do it once, and it was like the whole world stopped. I wouldn't want to do that to my family and friends.

[~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~]

no I think suicide is stupid so thats a no for me

:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

[Cloud_boy]

I almost suicided myself when I tried to go through marine training... let's just say those drill seargents( can't spell it) have a way to bring your spirits down.

[Dark Night]

I've thought about it, but never really gone through with it, not after what one of my friends' brother did. I saw how much it hurt his family and friends, and I really couldn't take it to imagine my family and friends hurt like that. My friend committed suicide and it's been 2 years since then. Haven't thought of it since.

[Frostweaver]

Hm, I have a very smooth life of extreme happiness in comparison to most people, and the idea of suicide never really cross my mind at all. Even if I have, again religious beliefs immediately put a stop to them and dismiss them quickly.

This doesn't mean I don't let characters in ancient fanfics, or somehow imagine friends to suicide though o.O

[Sana]

Today would be a good day to die, with my terrible essay due... *shot* XD No, not really.

It hardly crosses my mind, to be honest. o_O The few times it did was when I was really super depressed. I look forward to the future; suicide is the opposite of that, so there's no reason for me to think about it. It takes a lot for me to think about me and suicide in the same thought, since most of the problems in life are easy fixes.

If I'd thought about it I never came close to trying it. I value my life... and I'd be too afraid to, in the end. I'm afraid to try new things sometimes, and certainly things that will harm me.

As far as I know, no one close to me has committed suicide. I hope no one does either.

[Samurai X]

Suicide is a cowards way out in my opinion. No, I haven't thought of committing suicide and it has never really crossed my mind. I also don't know anyone personally that has committed suicide. Life is the one thing you get and you have to treasure it well. I also think that life is what you make it and that life isn't based around your problems but the way you handle them and react to them. Suicide isn't an option in my book, you may think you have it bad but it's selfish to think you have it the worst, there is always someone worse off than you.

[Forever]

I'm just too kawaii and beautiful to die. XD

But seriously, no, I wouldn't wanna, 'cause I believe I have a purpose, and the purpose can't be fufilled unless I stay alive. And, everything in my life is perfect..well almost so theres no real need for dieying.

[I, Lucario]

I was very depressed in my teen years to the point where I took a 2nd look at my beliefs of suicide. Thank goodness I never turned my back on my beliefs. My beliefs on suicide are very harsh compared to most of my other beliefs. I consider suicide as the ultimate sign of weakness in the soul, thus I feel little remorse for those who do. But then again, I suspect my opinions would change if someone close to me did commit suicide.

[Trikip]

Yeah, but like...who hasen't?

It's people like you that are ruining this forum.

I haven't.

[Astinus]

I have, but I never would go through with it. My life is just too good to not keep on living for as long as I can. Besides, it is better to just get through your problems in whatever way you can. It makes you stronger.

[Dawson]

Nope. Never. Never have, never will.

I have nothing but pity and disgust for people who have thought about/attempted it because they're just selfish and cowardly. Unless you are in a critical condition and you'll die in the somewhat near future whilst suffering in excruciating pain until that point, you have no reason or right to want to die.

Life is precious, you only get to live it once, so why waste it? If your life is really that bad, dig in, strive hard and get yourself out that unhappiness. Your life is what you make of it. Yeah, some things are unavoidable, but everyone should be able to get through life without topping themselves.

[Uiariamu_Shibu]

well...I can't say no....well I can say no now,cuz I love my life.....but I mean....everything's they way I want it to go right now...B+ avaerage in grades,car at the age of 15?!voted in the top 3 best flirts in school?!come on....I just want to be a video game designing Martial artist..and I'm well on my way there....

but what if I get everything I wanted when I'm older?....I might think about it then...but then again,I'm christian...but then again again,I dunno my future....but then again agian AGAIN,...I'm REALLY a christian....

so all in all,I dunno 'bout suicide,but most likley I won't look towards that direction..

jeez I rambled a little(and sorry if I sounded like I was showing off or somethin...>.>)did I answer the question?...XD

[Careful With That Axe, Pichu!]

Teenagers of recent generations find themselves depressed and look towards suicide more often than ever, it's just alarming. Most of us have more privileges that many other people; internet, transportation, clothing, food on our tables. And yet some feel 'forgotten' or 'misunderstood'? While there are locations where there's hardly enough food for a family, terminal diseases, lack of water, indifference and discrimination, people could easily let go; however, most of them don't. We should do nothing but solidarize and value life as much as those people do.

Really? It seems to me that people like you are ruining this forum. :/

I have thought about it, but I wasn't really myself then. :/ I think it was very stupid of me to even think such thoughts. I would never be able to do that to my family and friends, the people who care about me. There are too many good things in life to focus on the bad~

[22sa]

We should do nothing but solidarize and value life as much as those people do.That's harder then it sounds. I always have trouble finding worthwhile goals in life. O_o;

[Dawson]

That's harder then it sounds. I always have trouble finding worthwhile goals in life. O_o;
Who says you need to have goals all the time, though. Some people just need to learn to appreciate what they do have that is always taken for granted. I feel blessed about parts of my childhood, because I have learned never to take things for granted.

When I was seven years old, I had a stoke. I lost the ability to walk for months. I was in a wheelchair, couldn't move my legs or my right arm. Only functioning limb I had was my left arm. I had a blood clot in my brain, my mom was told I could be disabled for the rest of my life. Thankfully, the doctors were able to successfully remove the clot and I was given the chance to work my way back to fitness. It wasn't easy, regaining the strength and control in your limbs wouldn't be. I went through hours of intense physiotherapy every day, weekends included, for nearly six months, but it paid off because I was able to regain my strength. Not completely, of course, my right arm and length aren't anyway near as strong and responsive as my left side, but I never let that hold me back.

And, when I was twelve, I was involved in an accident with a brick at school which cost me my eyesight. I was completely blind for a month, half blind for a couple more. Again, I went through a hell of a lot of pain, surgery and treatment to get my vision back, but it was all worth it and I've not once regretted it.

That saying is true, you don't know what you've got until you've lost it. I've lost two of the most important, and under-appreciated parts of human life in my life and I've had to work to get them back. So I take nothing for granted. And, yet, I still consider myself one of the luckiest people alive. I wasn't born into poverty, I've never had to walk for miles for clean drinking water, I haven't had to struggle for my entire life just to survive. Millions and millions of people in the world do, so who am I to complain that my life isn't good enough and want to end it myself? There are probably a billion people in the world who'd lose their limbs to just swap places with any one of us. The least we could do is have the decency to respect our own lives.

No, I'm not quite sure where that rant came from, either.

[Disintegration]

Not exactly. But I sometimes do think of ways to kill myself. I do this by taking my anthropomorphic characters, and putting them into a Saw movie on a simple piece of bristol paper. Most of my artwork is macabre & horror now. ):

[Goku Goku]

Yep, I've thought of suicide, only when I'm depressed about matters I won't go into. But I'll never actually try to kill myself, because I believe we all have a bright future, even if the odds are against us. Seriously though, I follow a religion and it's bad karma to kill oneself. Why would someone take their own life anyways? I guess when people have damaged themselves, they must've regretted about what they've done, but it's too late. Some people just like themselves when they consumed by pride, and believe they have to. It's all wrong. In the end, suicide is the worse thing anyone can do, and please, don't turn to suicide. Ever.

[goofy_charizard_girl]

I did thought of it sometimes but I never even though of commiting it... I am too big of a coward :embarrass Anyway that was a long time ago and it was because of a stupid thing too, so I'd rather not talk about it XD
But now, in present, I never think about it. I am generaly a happy and content person and I always try to look on a bright side of life. And being so young as I am, I have a lot of experiences in life to go through and a lot of new things to learn so I better not die some time soon.

[Suki]

I've never wanted to commit suicide cuz there's no point really because I've never felt that depressed to want to do it.

[Auron]

Well, not seriously, and if I would do so, I won't have the courage for commiting it.

[Rhetorical]

I've felt depressed before, but I don't really know if that's what true depression is..
All I know is that I felt soooo low, sick, and like nobody in the world understood me.
It really sucked.
But I've never seriously considered suicide.
I'd feel too bad about the emotions it would make my family and friends go through.

But two of my friends have tried to commit suicide. One's tried to slit his wrists, and has engraved one of my best friend's names into his arm with some sort of blade. The other has loads of personal issues, and gets bullied quite a lot. He slits his wrists too =(

I think it's kinda sad that some people are so depressed that they see it as a way out.
Suicide sucks.

[Ichi-chan]

Hell no! I'm too happy with my life. :3
Suicide is retarded anyways. It's pretty stupid for people to consider it. To me that is.

[Auron]

But...I won't give my enemies the pleasure of seeing me dead...xD

I rather prefer kill them !! xD

[Chibi-chan]

I've never fully thought of suicide, as in thinking it over for more than two seconds. I've had fleeting moments though, where I thought to myself 'I'd rather die than ____," but that wouldn't really be suicide more than an expression, would it? I think due to pop culture today, dying isn't such a taboo as it was before, and thoughts of suicide may not be pushed away so quickly nowadays. Suicide is extremely greedy to me, because when you get down to it, you're part of someone else's life, and to be truely honest; you have no clue of how much you impact them.

[Trikip]

Really? It seems to me that people like you are ruining this forum. :/

It's good to know the staff likes to make fun of regular members. You just want us to bow down to you because you have power, don't you?

Sorry for the off-topic stuff. But seriously, I am really against suicide.

[Aegis]

Nope, I haven't in the least. I am perfectly happy with my life, and I have no desire what so ever to cut it short.

[Seifer]

It's good to know the staff likes to make fun of regular members. You just want us to bow down to you because you have power, don't you?

Sorry for the off-topic stuff. But seriously, I am really against suicide.

How is she making fun of regular members? She's just letting you know the truth. And it's not about people bowing down because she has the "power", you were being rude to another member. If you don't treat others with respect, then you will recieve the same thing from them.

Anyway, I haven't ever thought of commiting such a thing. I don't enjoy my life to the fullest, but I do value it. If I ever do go through something depressing, suicide will not be the answer.

[Epik]

It's good to know the staff likes to make fun of regular members. You just want us to bow down to you because you have power, don't you?

Sorry for the off-topic stuff. But seriously, I am really against suicide.

Are you an idiot? Okay, I know I'll probably get punished for saying this, but lemme get this straight. You're saying that the staff "likes to make fun of regular members" when you're the dumbass that randomly accuses someone of ruining a perfectly sound forum? You've already shown that petty spelling errors make your eyes water, that you have no compassion for the lives of others, and now you're complaining about the people who run this place? You should be grateful they haven't kicked you out of this place.

And no, I don't think suicide is something I'd be willing to try. Why end my life so abruptly when I have so many things to do?

[Drifblim]

It's good to know the staff likes to make fun of regular members. You just want us to bow down to you because you have power, don't you?Odd for me to declare it, but she's absolutely right. This forum can get along without your baseless criticism, which this topic certainly does not call for. If that's your mindset, get stuffed and get off this forum.

As for me, I have wanted to commit suicide often, but get stopped by the fact that there's no way out of the contract.

[Kura]

It's people like you that are ruining this forum.

I haven't.

Ruining this forum? Sorry.. but I find that kind of rude..
I think he was just making a generalization.. so.. there's no need to be so harsh.

It's quite a long story for me. My grandmother had a stroke, my best friend told me that I was just an annoyance and she didn't want to hear from me anymore, my cat ran away from school. I spent many many months with just one friend whom was an online friend. I loved him a lot, and we would even send me mail.
One time he told me that I deserved to be shot, dead. I thought that doing it would make him happy. Went through my garage looking for a staple/nail gun. Couldn't find one.
He apologized for it afterwards. His cherished pet rabbit had died that night, and he became really depressed, himself, and that's why he said it to me.
I guess I'm just too devoted to the people I love.

Other than that, I have thought about it, but I don't do anything. I just bake instead. I'm scared to hurt myself, so when I bake, I figure I might burn myself accidentally.

I'm kinda warped, I know.


Anyways, I've stopped doing that, now. I was diagnosed with depression a little while back, and spoke with a psychologist.. @@ Now I'm feeling much more cheerful~

[Z!$H!]

No! I`ve never and never think of it!

[Auron]

Oh, that's a really sad story. I would be really sorry if one friend of mine suicides of my fault...

[Lily]

I've tried unsuccessfully, once, when I was truly depressed (I'm talking about..parents-inflicting-physical-pain-upon-you kind of depression). Then there's my friend who claims she's been contemplating suicide since grade 6, which kind of perturbed me, seeing as she said this in the middle of our school's Christian club.. >_>; Suicide isn't the answer, though. I've stopped thinking about it.

[bubblebabe]

hmmm well i have thought about suicide alot but i realized that ya have to have it really bad for death to be an option.*shrugs*i don't have things real great in my home but i am not close to complaining about it...i have it better than some of the kids i know who seem perfectly happy but i know better and they know better.i have been through some depression(who hasn't?)but i won't ever kill myself.self mutilation isn't great either.there is a ring at school of cutters some are my freinds but i am trying eeverything to stop them...so no never suicide.

[Jeremy]

I have...many times. I tried to kill myself more then 100 times...in Grand Theft Auto.</bad joke>

Anyway, I never tried nor attempt to kill myself. I think it's just a cowardly and selfish way out of a big problem. There's always a better solution then taking your life away, sweeties.

[Rainfall]

Honestly, I think this thread is going to bring up a lot of unwanted feeling for those people who have been depressed enough to try and commit suicide. There are people out there who cannot shrug off those feelings like most can, and suicide is a very serious matter. I have had friends who have tried to commit suicide, and I myself have tried to, so I really don't think this thread is appropriate for a thread, but this is just my opinion.

[Stevo-kun]

Nope, never thought about it, no matter how hard my life got, and it has gotten bad before, real bad, but no offense, I just think it's stupid to even consider it or think about it, no matter how hard life is, you can get through it one way or another. Whenever it gets tough for me, I just don't even bother thinking about it because it's just stupid imo, such as other things like slitting yourself, taking drugs, etc. But heh, I feel a dang lot better for getting through these things then anyone else would have felt if I had of comitted suicide.

[CHaRiSMa]

I got quite a lot of interesting answers^-^


To tell the truth I have thought of commiting suicide.. I was like serious about it.. but then I chickened out which I am glad for. I don't consider the ppl who commited suicide ungrateful or weak.. I consider them human. I mean sure we all can only live once and there are a lot of ppl who live worse lives then we do (f.e. ppl in Africa who are struggling with starvation and drought) but that doesn't mean that other ppl's problem aren't bad as well. I mean if we have to live and respect our lives just coz there exist ppl who's lives are more difficult and yet they still manage to live without thinking of suicide.. then IMO thank you for that kind of life. I know that live is precious, I cherish it. And what I'm stating here isn't an just excuse for my ˝moment of weakness˝ when I thought about suicide. I want to say that if ppl decide to commit suicide then they have all the rights to do it, regardless of the fact that in doing so they would hurt their loved ones or that there are not the only ones on Earth facing problems. I think it is a bit rude and unfair for other ppl to say that the ones who commited a suicide just did coz of their weakness. A human's mind is a complex thing and you can never know what drove that particulr person in such a drastic action. Sure, I know that there are also a lot of ppl who faced many very very difficult problems, yet they never backed down from them, they learned how to face them and got stronger from them.. but not all ppl are the same and that is an unchangeable fact and also the difficulties we face in life have a different impact on different ppl. Every human has it's weaknesses and limits and who knows maybe there could be a situation when just anyone of us could think about suicide. I know that many of you here stated that you could never do it.. and I really don't want to look like a big know-it-all here.. I'm just saying that the future is uncertain and you can never know what it can bring you.
