Wait, so it IS a cry for help, but they aren't trying to get attention? How exactly does that work????

What selfish is people like you so wrapped up in themselves that they truly believe that the person killing themselves owes something to YOU not to kill themselves. Most people that finally do end their life are mentally unstable and are thinking about YOU. They are thinking about everything in their life that is ****ed up, or perceived to be ****ed up.

OWE something to ME? It's not about me, it's about everyone and everything else that is effected by the morons cowardly act. Like I said, everyone gets depressed, stop crying about it.

You can't condemn someone that may not actually have proper control over their thoughts or actions. Some people are so far gone that even severe medication cannot help. And a lot of the time, people that are driven to suicide are that far gone... and are not able to make the changes they need to make in order to get better, or get out of their funk.

yea, like the 14 year old kid in this thread that had life so bad. Give me a break.

Those that attempt suicide usually have one of those moments of clarity as they're laying their dying and move on to get help, either on their own or forcibly.

They didn't really want to kill themselves if they have time to think about it WHILE dying. That's just a retarded argument. There is no trying. You either kill yourself, or you don't.

I'm sorry your friend killed himself, and I'm sorry you're bitter about it... I would be too, and I'd probably feel exactly the same way as you about this subject if someone I knew closely killed themselves. But his actions and your feelings are not something that need be inflicted onto everyone w/ depression and every that contemplates and everyone that attempts and everyone that succeeds in suicide.

I'm not bitter, I just think it's retarded. He had a little brother that idolized him, probably the toughest part to the entire thing. It was a selfish act, again, that simple.

So my actions and feelings don't need to be inflicted, but I have to listen to people cry about how bad their lives are, or about how they tried to off themselves??? That's a double standard if I've ever heard one! I'm sitting here stating, "WAKE THE **** UP YOU MORON! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU KILL YOURSELF!??!?!", while you are sadly saying, "Well, you can kill yourself. I understand how deep your pain goes." DAMN!

You go talk to a professional about suicide and you'll understand how you're incorrect. I've heard enough about the subject and about mental illness in general in the past 2 years to have some "correct" (ie: text book) descriptions and examples these things... and I'm not talking about psych 101... i'm not talking about a class or two to meet graduation requirements at a community college...

Open up your text book and read about suicide attempts. Wait a second, you already stated this....

So you either get it or you're confused. I sure as hell can't understand.
