Good question. Who knows.

Well, why die? Life gets better, trust me. You just gotta hang in there until it does. And in the end, you'll be happy you did. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Keep your chin up, there are some great things in life you'll miss if you don't.

DID YOU EVER EXPECT TO BE ALIVE BE FOR YOU WAS ALIVE? THINK ABOUT IT. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE SO LIVE IT UP. PEACE GUYS

the meaning behind your life is to live it. Nobody else is going to be able to provide you with an answer of why you are here or what your purpose is. I suggest you get involved with helping other people that are less forutnate than you and trying some new activities, maybe some new friends. You are probably having some self esteem issues, we all go through it at times, stick it out and you will prevail.

hope is all that keeps me going

I know that you are going through hard times but you just have to hang in there i know what you are going through because i'm going through the same but you have to think to yourself. i need to live to see the good things in life you need to be there when your friends go through their hard times you can always be there for them. that is way we live but don't get me wrong i completely understand were you are coming from but you just need to live and make the best of it.

to be honest I've asked myself that same question milions of times. Everytime I'm down I think "why?" "what is the point of this?" "why do we live?" and I don't feel like doing anything at the time, but then come the good times again and the feeling of emptiness and confusion goes away, until the next time.

I don't really know what to tell you, there will be happy and sad times in life, that's just the way it is. And for your question of WHY? Well I live because I think there are great things in life and things I want to experience, also because I'm surrounded of people who I care for and who care about me and I can't imagine not being here.

This probably wasn't what you were asking but anyway...thought I'd give it a try.

i dont know, i dont think u guys understand, no offense, i didnt explain it very well. When u say u have something to live for do u really know why ur living for it, this is really hard to explain, just keep asking urself "why?" and maybe you'll understand how i think, but thank you for your posts.

Also,

to answer at least part of your paragraph, just think: There's way too much complexity to humans and the world nad life itself, for it to all be some game that God is playing with us. There's a purpose, we just don't know what it is. I can bet we never will.

But, living despite all of these doubts and trials and everything else? That is Faith.

I live because I believe in a "Greater Good" "Bigger Plan", whatever you might call it. That's what I live for. I want to make a difference.

Why?

Well, I don't know, But, it's in me, it's my "light" or fire or whatever. It's what keeps me going everyday.

I live because I choose to keep living.

Tsk tsk...

Time is the most important thing in life to me, so wasting your time dreading life is ridiculous. You make your own life, so look to yourself for answers, not to how pointless everything is for you... But you are right, it is all pointless, thats why you make the most of your time alive, not slicing up God's temple because you feel its best or its a release. That is just childish. And, icky...

XOXO, Think of how things could be, not how they should be.

Trust me u don't want to die. Living life to it's fullest is better than dying! Find something u love and stick to it! DID U SAY U CUT? check out my post in my girlfriend has a cutting problem. THERE IS NEVER A REASON TO HURT URSELF UR ONLY HURTING OTHERS WHEN U DO SO! ur not crazy! I understand how ur feeling!

why live? why live to think about dieing?

I live to experience life, true there are hardship out there but it's part of being alive. There are definitely people who gone through hell just like you did, things like these happen including to me too. Enjoy life, no point of making it depressing. It's full of things you never experience and believe me it's worth it, better than dieing One more thing, cutting yourself doesn't solve anything. Don't use pain to solve anything, use your mind.

Love is not love anymore. Love is an illusion. It's something that has disappeared completely. Happiness? Dream on. Sadness? Everyday. We live because we have nothing better to do every day. Keep living and I sincerely hope that you find something worth living for. As for the cutting? Just don't go too far.
