Can I say one more thing, please? I’ve kinda noticed that alot of the peeps here are still kids, so I just wanted to say this…
I think that if you’re really young and you’re in pain or need help, then for fucks sake seek it out and don’t jump in where angels fear to tread before you even know it’s the right choice for you. I’m 38 now and although I know many people will say that’s still fairly young the fact is I’ve lived, I’ve been burnt, and at this point I know that I want to die with all of my heart. But with really young people who are essentially still kids all I can say is put it off for as long as you feel you possibly can, cuz sometimes things can change for the better, and honestly your lives haven’t even really begun yet… so don’t throw it away before you’ve given yourself a chance, I mean it’s not called the forever decision for nothing. Death is final, death is irreversible.
And maybe one day if you get to the age of 28 or 38 and things haven’t improved please by all means go ahead and take your own life, if that’s what you really want deep down inside. Just be aware of the ramifications on those who love and care for you, so carefully weigh up both the pros and the cons, and ultimately if it seems worth it… then fine, feel free to end it all.
great posting. You are fully right. From your perspective and mine that is crystal clear and we know that we are right. If they could only translate into their own feeling the right logic you write. All they can see is as far as their “eyes” can reach, which is not much due to the lack of perspective of time.
As per you, it is a pity because as you see, you have a fine criteria, which is useful for many people. If you could put it off too, at least for a little why. I am older than you …
That’s exactly how I feel. I’m 18, and sometimes I have really low times, but I know I still have years ahead of me and that things will change. My friend was only 16 when he killed himself… Maybe he was on drugs when he did it, I’m not sure. But, he still had years ahead of him to make his life change, he even had plans to join the army…. I really wonder if he regretted doing it while he took his last breath…And even if you are 38 or older…there is still more years to have things change…but then again it’s a person’s choice whether or not they want to kill themselves… There’s a documentary called The Brigde..and it’s about the suicide jumpings from the Golden Gate Bridge.. The ones that did survive the fall said they started regretting the moment they did it
People tell me that 37-38 is not really old at all, all things considered, and that in fact it’s still quite young and that I have many years ahead of me… like possibly another 50 years or more! But the thing is although I know that, I still feel like my life’s over cuz I’ve totally wasted what should have been the best years of my life… and now I’m almost middle-aged and I’ve done nothing. I have nothing to show but dust and ashes, lol, metaphorically speaking of course. So no I won’t regret suiciding one bit, but I will regret hurting those people whom I’m meant to love the most *sighs* a great deal actually. I guess the nihilistic old saying ‘life sucks, an then you die’ is kinda true! =(
there is no difference between a 38 year old who wants to end his or her life and a ‘kid’ who wants to end his or her life. i remember wanting to end my life when i was a ‘kid’ and comparing the same situations and emotions that have made me want to kill myself as an adult, and I see that both situations weigh the same, there is no difference.
I’m not disparaging how these kids feel at all, cuz I know I also felt much the same then as I do now, all I’m saying is put it off for as long as you possibly can… don’t give in before your lived have even started, that’s all I was saying. I wasn’t being patronising at all…

I know what you mean, but maybe it’s cause they fear they don’t know what’ll happen after.
I say as much as I can that only do it if your 100 PERCENT sure you want this and even if the smallest thing is holding you back then DON’T do it.
