If you have a horrible disease or condition which makes your lie agony then I support suicide, but if your doing it just because your life sucks or because you lost someone then your stupid, there's no valid reason to do.
I have talked a friend out of it before and I plan on doing it again if someone gets too that point, its a ridiculous and selfish action that usually only looks good in the short term, when you consider your future overall whatever's happening is not worth it to throw your whole life away.

In the individuals own perspective, it can ALWAYS be worse. Don't underestimate the power of the ego, it's so powerful it can drive people to kill themselves.CuddlyCombine said:
I just have to ask you guys who keep coming with responses invoking "valid reasons". Tell me: could you mention any objective valid reasons to live?George144 said:
(Im just curious)
I personally find death scary, but I'd never go as far as to take my own life if things become tough. I don't fear suicide as such, people just use it as a scapegoat.ThreeWords said:
I think that's right, my brain is still only half awake.
Valid reasons? To enjoy life, to be happy, to fall in love, to experience the greatest high and best lows, to give life to the world, to change the lives of others, to hike 10 miles to a lake in the rain to eat icecream and enjoy the view, there are countless reasons to live and enjoy life, to throw that all away just because say your parents split up or you've failed all your goals in the short term is just plain stupid.Housebroken Lunatic said:
If life actually seems bad enough to you that you want it to end, you need help from another.
It is an act of extreme desperation.

Yeah, I can see that you mention several reasons there, but what makes them more VALID than the reasons people kill themselves for?George144 said:
What makes your reasons to live more "right" and their reasons more "wrong"?
I mean, the fact that you are alive now isn't really something you chose is it? It was forced upon you by your mother for choosing to give birth to you, and you have some reasons for sticking to her choice of not terminating your life before you were born.
But what is it that makes them more "valid" than just putting a gun to your head and pull the trigger?
Possibly, I'm not going to list possible scenarios where you'd be wrong because that would degenerate BUT The thing you have to bear in mind is loss can drive people to do thing they wouldnt usually do.George144 said:
Personally my experience is i can judge if someone is just being "emo" and is serious. Its not uncommon for me (as i said to my ex) to tell someone to go ahead and do the deed, Because i know they are crawling for sympathy.
The ones to look out for are people that have my mind set. We just disappear. Luckily for me im content with my life. I was emotionally crushed at the age of 16-17 and so now im fairly...Cold. But in a good way, I can be hilarious & warm, but then switch straight away.
It depends, obviously if you have a family who depends on you and loves you then yes, it is a very selfish thing to do. But at the same time, your life is your own and no one can dictate how you do and don't use it, so I find it very hard to judge suicides. Although, as already mentioned, it is the pinnacle of human free will - the ultimate expression of choice is to take your own life, so I guess in a way suicide could be seen as a brave thing.
The only thing I can definitively say about it is that I'm not planning on doing it any time soon.

Yeah trying to hang yourself can be a real *****. It is best done in the company of a friend who can help you tie the noose. XDBooze Zombie said:
I am curious, what emotionally crushed you at that time?Insanum said:
It is ok if you don't want to disclose it, I'm just interested.
Just a warning, search bar approved because before the topics have always been locked and deleted...Insanum said:
As for my opinion, (which I'm sure some of you will hate, espesh my mates) I don't have any problem with suicide. I think it's up to each individual, if they think their life isn't worth living, then suicide is fine with me.
i was being oversensitive, but at the age of 16-17, Living with an abusive (verbally) step-father, Going to work & being told you're going to die lonely & being the subject to evil practical jokes. Then i got my heart broke (once again probably me being oversensitive) - Ive kinda been dead inside to Love ever since. Or at least to the love of a partner.Shadowed Intent said:
I'm shocked at the responses in this thread. Suicide, far more often than not, is the product of an ill mind.
You don't go around saying that having a bad cough is an act of cowardice.
