Some teens go through a lot of depression and don't know how to get rid of it. One thought comes to their mind - suicide. Sometimes teens don't even try to think about it, but sadly, some teens do. Have you ever thought about it? Have you been suicidal?

suicide is probably the most not funny subject ever. alot of people look at it as if people who do it are looking for an easy way out.. my friend killed himself right before christmas he was 18 and it wasnt the easy wa out for him.. he had a very horrible life and i know nothing justifys it but some poeple cant deal its a last resort for them.... suicide is a scary thing.. its different for you after it hits so close to home


Life is what you make of it... Make It Great!!!

teens killing themselves is not funny
i have thought about it before, i actually tried to before but i will never do it again i love my family way too much to do that to them
it would hurt them so much
it helps if you talk about it with people you know and trust
teen suicide happens everyday
sometime it is because of problems they are havein and they don't want to talk to anyone
it is a real life situation that needs to be stopped

Once wanted to commit suicide, it wasn't because she wanted a easy way out. The truth was because she really believed it would be better for the world if she just die. It would be one less pity problem they had to worry about. She believed that if you killed yourself that you are going to Hell for that so she wanted to do that because she believed that she deserve to be in hell, that's how much of an evil, terrible person, she believed she was.
What I'm trying to say is that a lot of people try to commit suicide for a lot of reasons, like that one for example not only because they want the easy way out. That's all i wanted to say. thanks for reading Bye N have a nice day

i understand how thoose teen must fell 100%, i have been depressed before, and sucide did occur 2 me a few times. but thoose teens who are depressed are the only ones hwo can help themselfs. though my closest friends did try to help me, it did help but so little that it made almost no diffrent. teens think of sucide as a way out of their problems when in reality its more like a dead end. its not like you can come back and fulfill your dreams, or meet your one true love, or ever see that friend who was alwys their for you. all teens who ever get struck by te idea of sucide should thin of all this first. they should thin of the better things in their lifes, and the great things their futures might hold. this is what for me got me out of thoose horrible thoughts. andi hope that they will also help somebody else out there

Seems like you've got a lot to get off your chest. The truth is that that's a lot for anybody to go through and you shouldn't feel guilty for being depressed about it. Sure there are plenty of people worse off than you, but thinking that should cheer you up, not make you feel guilty not enjoying your own problems!

Take pride in yourself.There's no reason for you to feel inferior to anybody else. You have a right to be around and a right to be yourself. There's absolutely nothing to feel guilty about! You have done nothing wrong after all.

Well, I have depression right now myself but I never try committing sucide for it. Don't get me wrong, I did cross my mind once or twice but when whatever I think about it, I tell myself that things have to get better and that God didn't put me on earth just for me to kill myself. That helpes a lot when it would cross my mind but it never helped my depression much and feeling so bad about myself.
I know for a fact, I'm not going to end my life because of my depression (I'm going to keep saying what I said since I was 13) but sometimes I just want to run away because I don't know what to do.
I'm not going to sit here and wine, you probably don't want to hear and I respect that and always I don't think I have such a hard life, I just think I'm a terrible person who doesn't deserve this life, I'm too weak for this life.
But just put yourself in my shoes for one minute. How would you feel if a month from now you have to get an operation, you been through this about 15 times so it has to be easy, rigth? Well, it's not so easy for me, I'm too weak to deal with this anymore, it hurts to much and I'm tried of it. The I.Vs, all the machines I'm hooked up to, it just hurts.
How would you feel if you were teased at school because you have scars and look different from the other children because of the operations and what you have? I feel ugly because of that, like I shouldn't have been born. I try everything for those kids to like me and stop teasing me.
How would you feel if people called you mentally disable for such a long period of your life. I feel dumb because of that.
How would you feel knowing there's people out there, who have cancer and probably are going to die within months and your crying over another operation. Big Whoop!!! I had 15 operations thats nothing compare to death (at least I have a cure) and I feel like a bad, weak, terrble person because of that.
Everything I feel is because of a reason. People think they know me and say how nice, caring, pretty, brave,lucky,intelligent, all those good things that everyone wants to be called I am. It feel pretty good sometimes, I guess, but truth is, I just want to cry when people say nice things to me because I can't see what they see, I can't feel it.
That's sad that I can not see one good thing about myself and I need help.........I don't know what to do........I don't want people to know I feel like this, they shouldn't worry about my pity problems but I don't know what to do anymore.
I just want to be happy and finally walk with my head up not looking down to the ground.
Thank You for reading!!!!!!!! I know it was long and I probably sounded like such a winer but Thank You for reading and I'm Sorry
Bye Have a nice day Everyone

I sometimes fell depressed, ashamed of myself and hate it. But I will never get rid of that by sucideing. You may say it's 'cause I don't have severe problems. OK. But I have reasons to continue my life whatever it is. One of my friends at junior high is a suicidal. She took some medicine. Luckily, her parents found out and took her to hospital just in time. Now she has some problems with the intestant and skin. If I committed suicide and I was saved, I would have face with problems like that or even more serious. And everyone would chat about it behind my back. I don't like that. Still about that girl, when we got to the hospital, we saw her parents. Their faces, they were scary, I don't know what words to use. But I'm afraid of those and I swear I don't want to see one like that ever again, although if they are ppl I hate.
Second, there are so many things around I like and I want to know more about. If I quit my life now, I won't have chance to read more Harry Potter books; many bands' CDs I want to listen to, many places I haven't visited.......

MidnightRain, just because a person has severe depression, doesn't not automatically mean they're suicidal. And really, for all the times I have been seriously contemplating suicide, it was never because I "couldn't deal". In fact, I was dealing almost too well. It got to a point where I couldn't cry, no matter how much pain I was in. I knew of the consequences of suicide, as I have seen my share of people driven to that end. I know the destruction it causes, I've seen it shatter the most unfeeling person.
Feeling suicidal is a most desperate feeling, and being tortured with it every night of your life, when there's no one there to calm you, or hold you, is the most hellish feeling. Words cannot say how much pain I was in. How much I wished I could be emotionally balanced, be able to cry, and laugh without faking it, or smile and truly mean it, or not have to worry about my scars, or if my parents would find out, and send me to "help".

Easy? No, suicide is not easy. Walk a mile in my body, and you'd begin to understand my despair.

This may seem a little harsh, but MidnightRain, have you ever had to experience the torment of depression? I take it you haven't because to people who have depression, life is a curse. Not a gift. And you ask what the point is? The point is that when those with depression feel enough pain, they yearn to end it in any way possible. All they see, eat, hear, feel, and know is the pain. It has consumed them fully, and they know nothing else. Their dreams are corrupted, their minds cease to work. It would be like asking you to break your leg and live with it until it heals by itself. Think about this long and hard before you start telling people about things you have not experienced for yourself. Good day.

Yours,
Solemn

now this might **** a afew people off, but i wanted to share my view. my sister has been suicidal as she has severe depression. sucide is the easy way out. life is a gift, what gives you the right to end it? its not up to you. and all these people who say oh i cant deal with life so ill kill my self, well what about all of us who have to cope with it once your gone? the ones who have to worry they're whole life if it was our fault, if we drove you to it. whats the point?

I decided a long time ago I didn't need prescription drugs to medicate my "problem". And, in fact, I don't. On the 17th, I broke thru my four year fog, and became one again. Proof that you need not be a slave to the drug companies.

Well, I know that's the way I'd do it. Not as messy as a lot of other alternatives. The worst thing I've ever heard is the part in The Virgin Suicides when the girl jumps out of a window and impales herself on a wrought iron fence.

Hasn't everyone at some point thought about suicide?

I know I've said this before: Killing yourself isn't nearly as easy of a task as one might think. I've tried several times, and (quite obviously) never succeeded.

As for you Jookly, I'd think you'd know this one: You are not a disease/disorder/sickness, you *have* the disease/disorder/sickness. Having bipolar does not define you as a person.

I think the weakest person is one who decides to take prescription drugs to "help" them. That, truly, is the easy way out.

Im bipolar and have thought about suicde, but it is truley the easy way out and i think people who follow through with it are weak minded to the greatest degree.

I, personally, have not thought about suicide, but those who have, it's completely natural. Perhaps they should also talk to their close friends and family about it- it'll help ease the stress.Maybe they can get it all out of their system by writing their problems down or telling someone. There are lots of ways to help yourself without considering suicide.Suicide should be like, the really last resort, because once you've done it, you can't expect to be revived again.

wow,i should kno alot about suicide... i have a friend tht tourtured herself n she was thinking about stop touturing herself n juss end her life. itz a sad, sad story,but thankfully we got her out of it... i've thought about suicide now and then... over things tht were so important to me, tht made me sad... but tht's over now. i've learned to think more positive, even if i'm hurt by someone i care about or maybe i dont even care about tht person but i still get hurt, i dont think tht itz my falt or nething like tht, i try to see y tht happened n i look at the person's situation n step into their shoes n look at the world through their eyes. now, if i'm hurt i talk it over wit my friends n maybe tht person who hurt me but most of the time wit my friends, or my diary... my diary has helped me alot, but i dont always have time to write in it... so, it may be best juss to talk about things wit ur most trusted friend or a friend who u think might be able to understand what's bothering u n ur situation... suicide is not the answer... i had a music teacher who did really bad things, he took pictures of nude children... one night he juss ended his life by jumping off his apartment building... no1 even new y untill later on wen his evil sceems unfolded n the truth was told. but the sad things is tht he could have changed n turned to God since his was working at a catholic school, tht would have been easy but instead he juss ended all his pain like tht n he caused every1 tht knew him even more pain. suicide might end ur problems, but look wht it does to all the pplz who cared about u... always remember this story. it might be use full later in life if not now...
