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.

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?

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.

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~

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
