have you ever thought of ending your life? i know i have. two years ago i slit my wrists and climbed into a bathtub full of cold water. when i woke up i realized that i was in a hospital. turns out i had been in a coma for three weeks. i knew at that moment after my aunt told me that i had a new baby boy that i had a reason to live:my new son kyle. i was excited until my doctor came in and told me that i would never walk again. he also said that i would never get another women pregnant again. two years, three kids, and six surgeries later, im engaged to my 21 year old lover. we have two beautiful twin daughters who just turned one july 9th and we both have full-time jobs. the only other thing that would make it perfect would be to have my parents sitting in the front row at our wedding. but since that isn't possible, they will be replaced by my foster mother and her wife who is my other foster mother. i still cant walk but im ok with it now. so my question is: do you think suicide is wrong?

Suicide thats a tough one i dont no becuase im still dealing with suicide i no its not right but i feel like its my only way out soemtimes is slitting my wrist then i look at it and realize im a shame to my parents and my family because i no that they would dis own me but on the side im busy dealing with everything and its just hard for me to even wanna live each day it seems like life suxs but thats my opinnion!

Yes suicide is wrong. I've thought about it. A few months ago, I was going through some very pressuring guilt and anxiety issues. I thought it would be a path I might take (suicide). But I heard my mom one night crying for me, and I quickly forget any thoughts of taking my own life. It's foolish, you have so much to live for. Don't tell me you don't, because if you really believe that then you haven't looked hard enough. There is something to live for. Now, I'm perfectly fine and happier than i've ever been with a girl who is everything to me. i know i will marry her one day and live a long happy life with her. She has made me so happy, and completely erased any feeling I still had left of kiling myself.

There is something to live for. Don't ever, ever tell yourself there's not. If times are hard and your life seems ruined, have hope, because after all your suffering good will come.

I have great pity for anyone that tells me I'm wrong.

Ok, so many boards about this, need I repeat again?

*Chokes on all the emo in here.*

Or perhaps I purposefully strangulated myself with it. Who knows.

yes suicide is wrong but an attempted suicide can teach you a lot. Atleast that was my personal experience. When I decided to O.D. i ened up in the hospital for 4 day unable to talk, eat and use the restroom. Yet being there taught me who my true friends were and how much I mean to them and to my family. After that I was in a Psych Hospital and that showed me how good my life really is. So yes suicide is wrong but it can really teach you how good life is if you survive. Its more of a learning experience.

Infact my fiance is in boot camp for the marines and he is having a real tough time because he got sick and broke his hand and is now behind. He tried suicide while he was there and he learned that he really does have a lot to live for. He now has a son back at home and his life is more valuable than anything and his sons life is worth him living.

For me, suicide is worth it because it taught me so much that i never knew before and it really was a learning experience.

"life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more."

this is one of my fave shakespeare quotes... pleasant surprise seeing it on the boards...

yeah... i thought of taking my life.. twice. i'd just had enough of all the disasters that were taking place in it... pesticide was the only thing i could think of, and i ended up staring at the bottle and then finally tossing it and shuddering at the thought of meme actually playing on the idea...

it's acknowledged globally that suicide is a coward's way out... but for me, hell, i think it takes some serious guts and a pretty strong stomach... don't you find????

That is where you went wrong.

How stupid can one person get. suicide is wrong. i know that sometimes people feel like they cant go on but no matter what happens there will be someon that is going to be there for you and their is always someone who is going to have a worse situation than you.

That's the most intelligent answer anyone has said on this stupid thread. Way to go. *Serious*

Well yes I have tried and failed to take my life, but whether or not I think suicide is wrong is a little more complicated. There are two sides to it, so I have to give two answers.
From the perspective of those who love the suicidal person (family, friends etc) I have to say yes, suicide is the most selfish thing you could do to them.

If I was the suicidal one though, I'd have to say that it's up to me, it's my life and if I'm in pain I shouldn't be treated as though I've done something wrong for trying to liberate myself from it.

heh. Yay.

Try again.

Heh, Jenos. I didn't know that. I half expected you to say "try again."

You are supposed to sit in a bathtub filled with warm water, not cold water.

That is where you went wrong.

I have thought about it to. And i dont anymore, i figured i had reason to live.
In a way, im still pro-suicide, but i am trying to stop thinking stuff like that. Im actually in councelling.

problem is where that is considered people arent exactly thinking .

Yes I have thought about ending my life but now I don't and yes I think that it is wrong.

Yes, cold heartedly. I think suicide is wrong.
