Why do people think I'm trying to commit suicide? *PIX*

[Scapegoat]

you don't need to be close w/ family to know whats going on. Nor do you have to be old enough at the time to understand it later in life.

I'm sorry you're willing to pick through posts to find bits of content that align with your views and interests... but cannot keep going when even a possibly hypothetical question is raised... does it matter if i'm making something up? your answer should be the same whether I am or am not... are you beginning to question your opinion that you've fought so hard for these past few pages that you cannot answer the question?

you may or may not believe my answer... but you'll never know what it is, because you can't keep fighting for your views...

remember, actions speak louder...

I don't know, does it?

Ask me the question in a hypothetical situation (not lying and making up a BS story about a family committing suicide, that's just pathetic) , and I'll answer if you are so desperate to hear one.

How someone can claim to be so sympathetic towards people committing suicide, and attempting to do so, and then make up a story is just really sad.

did your friend jump in front of a train? or are you lying?

and "for the record" I'm not lying. wish I was... but in his situation, I would have done it too

There might be people on the board who used to know him, he lived in Abington, and would be 24 this year (maybe 25). Sorry, I don't make up pathetic stories about people I know committing suicide and afterwards try to defend the made up story.

[Scapegoat]

what was his name? I'm 25 and went to abington senior highschool. I probably knew him, but did not hear about this...

and honestly, you're not going to answer my question so I'll come out with it since i've nothing to hide and this happened while I was young. The only thing I remember about my mom's uncle was his house and the summers parties. He shot himself in the head as he was painfully dying of brain cancer. It got bad enough despite the medicine he had enough. There was no chance of living through it... I believe he had a wife and kids when he did it... not sure if they were together or not though...

all things considered though... I would have done the same... though not with a gun. To be a burden on my family while I slowly and painfully die... not my style...

his actions were not a cry for help, not an attempt at attention... selfish? not entirely that either... perhaps the choice of how he went out didn't leave the most beautiful of corpses... but his family could rest knowing he wasn't going to suffer until he died either by the brain cancer or by his choice of death.

Luke Cassidy, great kid, selfish act.


You might as well throw in people who want to be taken off life support in to that category as well. It's funny, throughout all 5 pages here, I never once stated EVERY or ALL. If that was your big "HOOOOOOOOOORA, GOT YOU!!!!!!" point, great. You got me good.

woah i shouldnt have gone out i missed alot

when did he bring me up? and why?
i would be a case that disproves his theory of everyone wanting attention

[Scapegoat]

the name rings a bell... but i could be wrong, its been awhile since highschool.

And you're right... you never specifically mentioned "all" or "every"... but you sure as hell didn't make it clear. there would have been a whole lot less posts if you stopped quoting parts of my posts and said something about not applying this logic to every attempt...

Im tired of hearing how everyone is right, and how you're all professionals. Does anyone in this thread have a PhD?

I'm not, but I dated and lived with a girl for nearly two years who now has her BA in psychology and is off to NYC for her PhD this august. And she was around for the beginning of this thread, does that count?

I privy to hearing, and learning, a lot about her field from her, her experiences IN the field while working at a mental hospital... she was here for a wee bit of the conversation.

I get told that I am Emo. I don't dress like one nor do I act like one, but the only reason is because of this scar:

that doesn't look much like a knife cut though, what did that?

looks like something that wasn't especially sharp, but enough to tear through the skin instead of slice

That is from surgery actually. I broke my arm being a dumb 13 year old and now I have this 7inch scar plus another scar on the back side. Also, 6 screws and a metal plate. I guess surgery scars appear different, but I still get comments.

So then, why did you do it?

I know I did it because I wanted attention. Same with other people.

I thought I had it rough. I wanted people not to just give ME attention, but to help the situation I (my family and I) were in. Turned out that was not the best way to do it...nor did I have it NEARLY as bad as I could have.

One of my friends ate a shotgun. No note, nothing. He was having problems with his wife, and offed himself on the couch. His 16 year old son came home from school to find him there. 16. What the **** do you call that? Selfishness. He DID call much attention to the personal life that many people did not know about...so in the end, suicide always brings attention. Wanted or not.

Attempts always bring attention.

If you DON'T want the attention, don't be a ****tard.

*edit*
If you're at the picnic Sunday, I would be more than happy to show you the scar that makes people think I tried to commit suicide with that one. Apparently, I'm too white to get pictures of it.

[supraghost]

well this thread went to hell in no time lol

[DPancoast]

My brain hurts from this thread... Good discussion, just too much repeat with a side of closed mind at some spots. Suicide is serious stuff... I had an Uncle that got drunk and shot himself over getting fired from a job. After hearing why he got fired, what happened after, and reading his note, there's not much I can say as far as "I would have too." or the like... But one thing I learned from it is that no matter what, there's always someone that will talk to you somewhere. Theres been times when I thought my life sucked, and there was no hope, and that people would be happier with me being dead, but then I talk to people that care, and I realize that's life could be 100000000000000000x worse. I dunno, it sucks that people kill themselves, but the only thing we can do is lookout or seek what we need to be happy. Most of the time all the person needs is a reality check. You can't know how good life is if no one is there to tell you.
