Suicide

Suicide (Latin suicidium, from sui caedere, "to kill oneself") is the act of intentionally causing one's own death. Suicide is often committed out of despair or attributed to some underlying mental disorder, such as depressionbipolar disorderschizophreniaalcoholism, or drug abuse. Pressures or misfortunes such as financial difficulties or troubles with interpersonal relationships often play a significant role.

Death must be a wonderful thing because no one has taken the time to come back and tell us about it because they are too busy having a great time with all those dead people ;)

People should be abto do what they want to in there life. If they feel that they need to die to wash away there suffering or guilt (or whatever) then they should have the right to do it.

Depending on the cercumstances they might just need some help to 'get back on their feet'. Still, If they're too afraid to talk to anyone about what they need to are they sopposed to just suffer some more? Anyone that can't releave themself in an other way but death should have the right to die.

Suicide is without any questions or doubt is the worse. God gave us life and he gave it to us abundantly. God is the giver of life. Suicide is one of the many tactics of the enemy; and he seeks to steal, kill and destroy. God commands every living thing that has breath to praise him. Psalm 100 says " Make a joyful noise unto the lord, all ye lands. Serve the lord with gladness, come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the lord he is God, it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Suicide sometimes feels like the right way. Although at times it is not, who are people to say that it is wrong?

If you are in the hospital in your entire life in pain.

If you are sexually abused and can't get over the trauma.

If you have parkinson disease and have your hand tremors everday to a point of ultimate frustation....death is the best way out.

Death is bitter sweet. And people say "Oh it is going to get better. keep hanging, time will get easier." It gets me mad a little because how do you know? And sometimes, it doesn't get better. But what i do know is life goes on.

I will stop people from choosing to kill themselves because i want to live myself. I understand but yet there is something within me that says that suicide is wrong.

So ultimately, because of what i feel, i can't say that it is the right way. But i do admit that sometimes i feel like it is.

And those who question suicide and those who hesistate want help. They are seeking help. Because if someone truly wants to kill themselves will kill themselves without hesitation.

I knew someone who was deeply Mormon and was a firm believer in Abstinence. She was coming home (Arizona) to see her family for the holidays. She stopped at a rest stop and a serial rapist sexually abused her. unfortunately, the rapist was an illegal and the police didn't do very much to try to find who did this.

She was so distraught about not being a virgin, when her parents left the house. She killed herself with a .357 Magnum while they were away. She meant a lot to me. People like that, you cannot save. They will just find another way to end their pain. My problem was very treatable and I live a happy life today.

Thanks for sharing her story. Im curious to know what was your problem but you don't have too....sounds too personal. I say that it is questionable if you friend could be saved or not. I can't say that she 100 percent can't be saved but if she couldn't then death is the right choice in my opinion.

In one sense, rape is sex. In another sense, it is not because sex is consensual. Maybe if someone had told her that....maybe she would had changed her mind on suicide.

Sorry for you and your friend. I believe in Heaven at times and you will surely meet her again. :)

I think that suicide is worse because, if someone is committing suicide they are very selfish and don't care about family members or friends. People who are murdered don't have a choice over whether or not they die, while people who commit suicide do.

Everybody is selfish. And at times, being selfish is not wrong. Even you are being selfish when you "want" your friends.

Sometimes when the pain is great, you don't have a choice to decide if you want to die or live. The fear of not being accepted. The fear of not being loved.

I'll stop someone from killing themselves but i won't be happy with myself unless in the future, he/she says "thank you." Dunno, life sucks.

This is from my very personal experiences. To be at the point of committing suicide, one must be at his/her very lowest part of his life. He/she feels that there is nothing left for him/her and the best thing to do is go for that sweet release. Like the moderator said, it has many causes and reasons. My attempts were because of my schizophrenia/Manic-Depression. Plus you add in certain things like your girlfriend dumps you for an unspeakable reason. You lose the will to live and Suicide is a means to get away from that pain.

I have been declared dead twice. Spent 10 days in the ICU and my heart will never be the same again. I have to take medication or my heart will go so fast it will "Blow out".

This tragedy hurts everyone around you....I mean everyone! But, at that point. You really don't give a damn what others are thinking about when you are into the act.

With anti-depressants and anti-psychotics, plus certain types of therapy. You can curtail the overall problem that causes the suicide idealizations itself.

Of corse suicide is the wrong way to chose... Usualy people that are commiting a suicide are weak, those people can't fix problems in their lives.

Suicide is the latest that a person can do in life. Parents gave you life and you should appreciate it and live it so well that there was no thought of death. Usually people do this is because of the problems, not having seen more of life. But there is always a way out, you just need to continue to live and occupy himself than ever.

The best drug for suicidal depression is cocaine.

Cocaine is more effective than Lexapro, Prozac, Effexor, and Wellbutrin.

It works within 5 minutes. Pleasure can be compared to ultimate sexual gratification (3some with 2 hottest girls you've ever known) and it also clarifies the mind.

If you are seriously considering suicide, go to the doctor and get some anti-depressants. Your brain isn't working correctly if you want to kill yourself. If you need to feel better in less than 10 minutes, snort some coke.

Its the wrong way because you are killing yourself and your not suppose to end your life. God is the giver of life and death. Plus if you kill yourself you will not be going to heaven because you broke one of the ten commandments and you can't say your sorry and be forgiven because its already done and your dead.

You can't use a opinion as an arguement. A religion isn't fact, If it was then there wouldn't be more then one.

i absolutely agree with point of view. I haven't thought about suicide because if I kill myself its a destroying of one being and God is suppose to give life and end life. So if you kill yourself your probably going to hell because you broke the one of the ten commandments thou shall not murder and also you can forgive God because you are already dead.

suicide is the wrong way to get rid of sufferings you face in this life (eg :incurable disease,being so stressed, live under a great pressure, etc). it also means that you can't struggle for a living or fix the mistakes you've made. it's a coward 's act.
