There have been many defining moments in my life where I wish I could have just died instead of having to go through them.
I have - at one point - cut myself (well.. carved myself, rather). But it wasn't because I wanted to die.. it was more of a "pain I can control" sort of thing.. because emotional pain is something a person generally has no control over - at least in my case. Fortunately, this stage only lasted about.. a month or so.. with only a few scars to show for it. And I did learn something from it.
Anyway.. the original point I was trying to get at is that there have been times where I wished I could have died instead of go through the pain I had to go through.. but as any smart person should tell themselves if they feel that desperate in any given situation.. :
Suicide is a permanant solution to a temporary problem.
Besides.. I know someone who has a baby with a girl who tried to commit suicide.. and even though he absolutely hates her, he still shed thousands of tears for her. It even made me cry, and I hardly know her, definetely don't like her from what I do know, and don't really care about her or value her life. She didn't actually die, but her attempt to still effected those around her. Had she actually succeeded, the tears would have multiplied and the hurt would have been much more intense..
It's not fair to make others go through the pain of losing someone they love because that person wanted to be so selfish that they had to end their own life to solve their problems.
Especially in this girl's case.. having a 1 1/2 year old baby.. not that she takes care of the baby or cares about the baby at all.. just uses it to get what she wants from the baby's dad..
Point said: Suicide is selfish, and there's always another alternative. There's help out there for you, and there's always someone out there who loves you.
