I have done this too. It's sortof human nature to wonder what would happen say...if you had never been born or had commited suicide. Or if you are rich and had been born poor, or if your poor and won the lotto. Stuff like that.
Also, I have never, ever considerd doing suicide. But im not sure if wishing the earth would swallow you after embarassing moments counts. I have had those lots of times. ::o

Yes I have. A lot. I've tried it once but it didn't really work. I don't see how it's selfish. I wind up screwing up other people lives anyway. My family aren't the most loving people. They don't care about me, and if they do then they don't care enough to bother showing it. I have no friends anymore. I have a few acquatences (ack) but nobody very close. All it might do is make some people feel guilty for a day or two while they make up stuff about how great and nice I was to them. Plus I'd be saving food for those starving kids in India and I'd be hanging with Jesus.

...you know it be true

NOOOOO!!!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!

/kills self

Did anyone else read the title as "Have you ever comitted suicide?"?

I was about to reply with "Yeah, sure, several times..."

I was once stopped halfway through trying - I realise now it's the dumbest thing I have ever done.

I don't and will never again contemplate suicide, but there was indeed a time in my life when I seriously considered it. I was young and incapable of dealing with my feelings, and it just seemed like the logical thing to do. I know that some of you may not understand (I can barely relate anymore myself), but it's quite possible to be in pain, mentally, to the point where you're incapable of considering how suicide may affect those around you. In other words, the pain that you feel is so unbearable, that you're unable to think clearly and to make intelligent decisions. While you may not understand such a state of mind, you should at least take the word of someone who has been there.

Oh, and for you kiddies out there that are contemplating suicide...I can't promise that it will get better for you, but it has for me, and you should continue living, due to that possibility. I'm with a wonderful girl that I may one day marry, and although I am not where I want to be in life, totally, things are looking optimistic.

I do have one word of advice for those of you who are depressed and also easily impressionable...throw away your violent and/or depressing music. Life is what you make it, and if you're obsessed with the darkside of life, you're destined for trouble

yeah i think about it. why i don't do it is because it has been done before, and not by me.

Well, depressed is a little better than suicidal right? -- suicide is permanent; depression is not (at least, not the kind of depression I meant: "down in the dumps" for a day or two, from a bad day or broken relationship).

I live a fairly good life, so these "depressions" are rather rare for me anyway.

You people who preach about how selfish it is are entertaining. Really. You don't understand that there are points in some people's lives when there are only two, maybe three people at the most that care.

And you people that are suicidal/depressed don't realise that maybe some of us have had people they loved who have committed suicide, and felt what it's like.. Which is why we realise both the stupidity and pointlessness of it.

I've podered what people's reactions would be were I to die, I don't know of a teenager alive who hasn't wondered what would happen were they to drop dead the next day, but I've never ever seriously considered actually comitting suicide

Why are you telling those that are suicidal/depressed that? You're responding to me, not them. I'm not suicidal or depressed. And you shouldn't assume I've never known anyone to commit suicide.

Because they need to learn there's more to life than worrying about yourself/feeling sorry for yourself. And that there is help they can/need to get.

I'm not assuming that you've never known anyone to never commit suicide, I'm saying, don't assume the same for me. If you were.

never, i'd rather be shot fighting in a war

There's a lot more to it than just feeling sorry for one's self. It's something no one will understand unless they're in that position.

I think it's safe to say we've all pretty much been there. At least the majority of us. It's when it consumes your every day and your every thought that it becomes pathetic. There is always help, and to say that thre is only few people that care is only an excuse. Some might not, but there is always someone.

I've thought about the consequences of such an action, but I've never really thought about doing it. Nor can I see myself doing it, ever.

I'd rather die for someone else than for my self.

I've never had a reason to commit suicide. Besides, I would know how bad the effects will be on my family and friends.

Never. I've always believed that, no matter how bad today was, the next day will be better.

Last night one of my friends from primary school discovered that his 14-year old sister had hanged herself.

...

It's moments like this where my faith wavers, and my hope with it. I mean, there's no happy ending for any of them, is there? The girl, according to the Biblical convention of sin, will be denied entry to Heaven (if you even believe in that sort of thing), and all of those surrounding her, myself included, will have to reassess what it is that they live for if such a fragile young soul could just end willingly like that. I mean, is there a reason? Can there be a reason for something that senseless, that horrible?

I look for an answer, from anyone, anywhere...something, some sort of relief from this terrible question. But I don't think I'll ever get it.

Anyone who has ever thought of commiting suicide is a coward and a lowlife who should be tortured for the rest of their life in emotional and physical pain.

However, wished to not be alive is another story, I think we all do this at somepoint.

Well, that's a bit insensitive, don't you think? I just posted that a 14-year old girl killed herself...do you really presume to judge that she should be "tortured" indefinitely because of it?

You really ought to try to relax.

What an asinine thing to say. Who are you to judge other people for actions and thoughts? Anyone like you who condemns people for that ridiculous reason should be condemned for ignorance with the same sentence.

I agree with that in a way, I see suicide as the cowards way out - for those who do not have the courage or strength of will to face trying times. It is down to the situation though.

And I've had times where I've just given up all hope, but I just get back up every time I'm knocked down.

I can understand (though do not agree with) that point of view, but that kind of condemnation for even thinking about committing suicide?

No, not for thinking about it. Because I expect everyone in the world, at some point in their life, to think about suicide. It should put things into perspective somewhat.

Even seriously considering it, to the point of sitting with a gun in your palm and the sweat on your brow. Taking the courage to step back from the edge can be a turning point in a persons life.

Edit - Not that I think a person should sit with a gun in their hand - there are many ways to strengthen a person.

My brother committed suicide. I was only 8. I can talk about it now, because I've gotten over it. I'm 21 now. But I seen him after he did it, that's something no child should have to see. Which is why I'm against suicide as a means of "getting out".

I don't think anyone's saying it's a viable solution in the least.

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES! THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!


...sorry, it's the first thing I think of whenever someone says 'suicide'.

Yes, cut someone into pieces with a jewish lightsaber
'SCHMING!" "kkkkkkkkkkkkkk" Vwing" "SCHMING"

Too many times have i self-harmed, tryed to commit suicide.... and thankfully too many times my friends have been there for me. Thanks archie, gothix!

I always found that thinking of what others would say ... it always stopped me

When you are as awesome as me, you don't even waste time thinking about suicide. You are too busy relishing the moment thinking how you are just that awesome.

Easy now, Emon. You're starting to sound like JM. God knows we don't need two of him running around, now do we? :p

Edit: Wow, I didn't realize these forums were so awesome. If some moron breaks the forum, it's only broken for his own post. None of the rest of our posts are sidescrolling.

Never.

It is never that bad. It should never go to that extreme.
