Why end your life when you haven't live a lot of it.

While I personally agree with you here tiger I have to point out that to someone considering suicide the fact that they haven't yet lived life isn't always comforting, to some it just sounds like more opportunity for their life to go downhill.

Why end your life when you haven't live a lot of it. If you would just believe and trust in God, he will help you through whatever kind of crisis that you are in.

Suicide would just be a waste. If one is at the point where his life means so little he could throw it away and not care, why not use that and do things you wouldnt ordinarily do, set things straight, start a revolution or what have you. Suicide is a non constructive waste of a chance.

Death is not the end. It's a new beginning for those who believe in Jesus Christ.

even if you belive in the word of God suicide is an unforgiveable sin which means your going to hell

Here's the dealio. Suicide is a very serious thing. For those of you who wish for death, to disappear, please rethink your choice. By attempting to commit suicide, you are actually hurting more than just yourself. You are hurting many people around you EMOTIONALLY. Trust me, emotional pain is a tough kick in the a**. You can also hurt the ones you don't know when they hear your story. Suicide is a very scary idea, and everyone goes through tough times, and yeah, some will have to face the rockier roads than others. But there are always an alternative to what you think is your solution. You can always turn to a family member, a friend, teachers, therapist, or anyone you can confide in. For those of you who have considered suicide as an easy way out, I hope you guys really do reconsider because there really are so many different ways to deal with your problems. I just hope you guys will understand, and my message got to you guys.

I'm sorry to hear that so many of you are having suicidal thoughts/tendencies. I so know how you feel. My teen years were filled with these thoughts. If you can try to talk to a professional like a school counselor or a therapist. This might sound drastic but seriously what about suicide is not drastic?

i'll survive too


i think everyone can.

i'll survive too

i think everyone can.

This subject is pretty crazy to talk about, considering that those who enjoy life couldn't even imagine killing themself. However, once going through depression, I realize why such thoughts of death come up into people's heads.

Ever since moving into CA from GA, my life has changed drastically. I had to make new friends, adapt to living in a new area, and so on. At first, I thought the change would be a good thing: A fresh start might be good change since things looked like they were going downhill in GA. To my surprise, my life still felt like it was going downhill in CA. I never established that core of good friends, I never felt comfortable walking around in high school, and my self respect has at times been questionable. Three years after the move, I started getting pretty depressed. After school I would just drive into my driveway and stay in my truck, contemplating what was wrong with me. Some days, I blamed myself physically, other days mentally. There were times I would try to trick my mind that everything was ok and all I had to do was act more optimistic in order to enjoy life as much as I did back in GA (the days which I ironically termed the good ol' days, though I'm only 17). Then, one day the idea of suicide came up. The once lucrative subject didn't seem so crazy anymore.. Death was actually a possbility. Luckily for me, I made it through this phase without apllying any physical damage to myself.

Unfortunately, this story doesn't have a happy ending. Even today at times I woll stell feel depressed, but I endure the mental pain and still further await better days to come. I'm going to stay tough; I WILL SURVIVE.

i thought about killing myself so many times for almost 2 years.
but now i don't ever think about it, and when i think about how i wanted to, it makes me realize how selfish the thoughts were sometimes. and i am forever grateful for the people i have in my life for being those last thoughts that pulled me through all those nights.
i now appreciate every second i have of my life.

i believe you should surround yourself with people you love. do things that make you happy and that are productive. there are so many people out there willing to help, so just ask.

Hi limits.

This sounds a lot like a friend of mine (heck I suspect you're him, it's all ready happened once before - I wonder if "almighty" means anything to you?).

Anyways, I just wanted to say that you shouldn't give-up. I used to be just like you. But trust me, happiness isn't really that far away. Life's a rocky road, and every valley needs a hill, right? Right now you're at a valley. But you gotta keep on going, because you're going to reach a hill eventually. If you play your cards right, you might just end-up staying there

Trust me, I know pain. Oh God, do I know it well. I lived in a terrain most other people only visited. I've written a lifetime's worth about it. But no matter how bad your life at home is, please, please please please, do not be ashamed to tell your parents. Tell them. They might be in denial, and completely ignore the situation, but you have to try.It's easier to say it's impossible than it is to try.

Even if the thing with your parents doesn't work-out the way you hoped it would, seek professional help. A teacher, or a counselour. Someone you think you could trust.

Also, try making yourself feel better. Do you enjoy anything in particular, like sports, or art, or maybe writing or music? Video games, maybe? There's some pretty funny, uplifting stuff out there. Sam and Max did wonders for me. Or curling up in bed with a movie! With a hot cup of coffee or tea or soup! Avoid the depressing stuff, stick to the funny things. What kind of movies or games or music do you like? Or books! There's some ridiculously funny, touching, or just plain old "Dude that's me!" books out there.

Don't cave-in. Try.

I don't know why things are bad in your family life, or between you and your brother, and your friends are total knuckleheads (I know that one), but you're bound to become happy soon. All it takes is trying. Have you ever heard of Robert De Bruce and the Spider?

Don't give up. That way the bad guys win. And you're not one of them.
