| Awful. I don't suggest it no matter how shitty your life is. |
| I would never do it. Suicide is for the cowardly. |
Made me think about that clip with the penguin. |

| I personally don't think anyone should commit suicide. There's euthanasia programs for those with certain kinds of diseases that do a much better, much safer, more comfortable job at letting go. Most methods of life ending have a high chance of being unsuccessful with a risk of permanent injury. Youth ain't all there is to life. After the first 16 years of existence there's at least 60 more to go in most places. And if there's no debate possible, at least wait until parents/etc are deceased. It's kind of mean to have others feel heartbroken. |

AmityBlight said: Will never condone it. Energized said: I would never do it. Suicide is for the cowardly. I hate when people say this. Suicide usually committed through mental illness and [bhardships[/b]. Everyone mental statement different. Events that happen to people can destroy a weaker persons mind. Everyone goes through hardships. What you do instead of offing yourself is man up and deal with it like everyone else. Doesn't matter if everyone's mental state is different. Still a selfish coward if you do it. Scarring your family like that because you were too much of a wimp to deal with your problems is pretty cowardly. |
| I as a person who attempted suicide in the past and survived am 100% of the opinion that everyone has the right to choose for themselves if they want to live or die. Your destiny is in your hands. Some people are just unfortunate. Life is a misery to them and if they lose all hope they are free to decide. Nobody else has the right to stop them. |
| Stupid but it's a necessary evil because we need people to record it and put it on the internet. |

ThatWhiteHand said: God damn some people are so selfish...Nobody asks to come into this world, so if they are brought here against their will only to spend their life suffering, I'd say they have every right to do such a thing if they truly feel miserable. There's people that are living in worse conditions than these suicidal people with first world problems. In fact, many of them eventually become successful. If there's someone worse off than you and still living on, you'd be a coward to off yourself. |
| wow 50% of people have felt suicidal in some point of time. That's very distressing to hear |
| its a big problem especially today with youth suicide due to more pressure to succeed or having toxic perfectionism or just because the economy is shit |

It's so ignorant to say something like "there's people that are in worse conditions than you, so you should've just get it together." No matter how many people out there who "suffer more" than you, it still doesn't make your sufferings invalid. All of those feelings are valid. And not only it's relative and subjective matter to every person, there'll always be other people that are in worser conditions. Saying that didn't actually solves the problems, but it just ignores the problems. It's really easy to say, but for the people who actually went through it, everything is just a whole big mess. And it seems like suicide is the only answer. Also, I disagree with you saying that suicide is cowardly. Since I think it's the opposite, it actually takes a lot of courage to kill yourself, and someone who does it could never be fully sure of it too. |

Since I think it's the opposite, it actually takes a lot of courage to kill yourself, and someone who does it could never be fully sure of it too. Firstly, I never said your sufferings are invalid because people are worse off than you. I said you're a COWARD if you kill yourself while other people have it worse than you. Yes it does take courage to kill yourself, but living through your problems takes 100x more courage than that. So people that commit suicide are still cowards in my book. Especially if you're literally living in above average living conditions. And they're also selfish for scarring their families or anyone else they know lmfao And if you kill yourself because of problems you created, you're even more of a coward. |

| As Milton says, “The mind is its own place, and in itself it can make a heaven out of hell, and a hell of heaven.” So I don’t particularly think it’s selfish or cowardly. Maybe short sighted, but not selfish. I also think about DFW quote and analogy of the burning building. “ The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square... Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames.“ But it’s a sensitive topic, I don’t know much else to say personally. I just don’t know if it’s selfish because if the person really had close relationships or even just proper communication and expressing emotions with people in the first place they wouldnt be driven to take these actions. But this is kind of another topic to go into about dealing with mental illness in general and how most people tend to be indifferent and insensitive to it, and would rather blame the individual for not “taking personal responsibility” instead of addressing it as a systemic/and or environmental issue. |
Energized said: Okay, then let me tell you, saying "people that commit suicide are cowards" just shows the lack of sensitivity and awareness towards understanding their problems, pains, and sufferings. Be it depression or any form of mental illness. Firstly, I never said your sufferings are invalid because people are worse off than you. I said you're a COWARD if you kill yourself while other people have it worse than you. Yes, it does take courage to kill yourself, but living through your problems takes 100x more courage than that. So people that commit suicide are still cowards in my book. Especially if you're literally living in above average living conditions. And they're also selfish for scarring their families or anyone else they know lmfao And if you kill yourself because of problems you created, you're even more of a coward. And by saying that it takes a lot of courage to do it, I agree that sometimes it takes more courage to live with that. But suicide is just neither a cowardly act nor a brave act. It's simply a cry for help. Suicide could never be justified, of course, but for the people who've attempted to do it, it would feel like it's justified for them to do it. Because of many reasons that we couldn't even fully understand. They have endured more than we'll ever know. Suicide isn't the best choice, but it's certainly not cowardly. Yes, suicide could be scarring for the loved ones. But I wouldn't say that it's selfish. Saying that is just another form of guilt-tripping. It doesn't help anything. Rather, it just creates more problems by making them feel worse about it. And, despite all the privileges that someone's got, living conditions, circumstances, etc, mental illness doesn't discriminate. It could happen to anyone. Lastly, I don't encourage suicide in any way possible. But I strongly think that if we truly want to prevent it, we need to talk about it in the right manner and the best way possible, (which guilt-tripping and looking down on it certainly isn't.) |

| in the case of having a terminal illness where there is nothing but a looming trajectory of immense pain and loss of control of ones mind/body etc at a rapid rate then i am in full support of assisted suicide. outside of that, there's lots of different lifestyle changes you can make and treatments that you can potentially access that may alleviate/completely change the game for you. it may be very hard, but possible to turn things around |

| Here's why suicide is dumb #1 God and heaven are NOT real, yes I'm SOOO edgy, but just listen for a second....there's no such thing as an afterlife which means that when you die, that is literally it...game over, nothing more. #2 So you might be thinking well, if there's no afterlife, I got nothing to gain, but I also got nothing to lose....WRONG! You have EVERYTHING to lose....even if your life is shit, even if everything is going wrong....you gotta go through it because as cliche as it is....there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. It is better to live and push forward even against all odds than to die and that's that. You play to win the game. |
| Never felt the need to off myself. There are some valid reasons for suicide.For example if you got a painful debilitating incurable illness. Because you feel fucking sad or depressed is not a valid reason for suicide. We have privileged assholes living lives that other people all around the world could only dream of having just offing themselves when people with cancer and other terminal diseases, people who been through immense emotional and physical hell trying to stay, people literally dying of starvation and even people who will be in prison for the rest of their lives trying to stay alive. IF you live in a first world country you are privileged compared to the rest of the world. |
| It’s something I’ve thought about more than I should but I wouldn’t ever do it. I think if you’re depressed it’s more the feeling of being a burden, wondering if people would miss you and then one thought leads to another. I would never actually commit suicide even if I had those kinds of thoughts. To me even if I was feeling down I would know deep down that those are irrational thoughts. |

| I think it's pretty entertaining when I play GTA and jump off the highest building in the game. Jokes aside, I don't really see the point in. I mean we're all gonna die eventually why expedite it? |

Odd that you say there's no God as if it's a fact. It's impossible to prove or disprove so it's just your personal belief. When someone is suicidal, thoughts of what happens after they die don't come into it. Mental illness messes up how the brain works, logical thought processes included - hint is in the name. Their current life is so painful that they want to end it regardless of the consequences. |

| Have I ever felt suicidal? That is an intense question to ask on a poll. Suicide and me have a complex history together. I've tried to kill myself twice. Both attempts were overdosing, which is an extremely painful way to die I learned. What's interesting and snapped me out of a suicidal funk was a near death experience I had overdosing on drugs accidentally. Boom no more suicidal ideation. It's interesting how it is all about perspective. |
