Today in class we had a group discussion about suicide, and all I kept hearing people say is how selfish suicide is. I really just wanted to blurt out “I’ve been suicidal for 2 years off and on now. Does that make me selfish?” But of course I didn’t. They talked about how stupid it is for someone to even think about harming themselves. I didn’t agree with anything they said. They were all being so ignorant. They laughed at the people who had killed themselves. They said that people kill themselves just for attention…. I wonder if they understand how it is to feel as if you’re not wanted, to think about how much better the world would be without you, to be constantly reminded that you’re worthless when you look in the mirror. But obviously they don’t, because if they did they would have never made such ignorant comments.

Now think how many were in the class just like you. Maybe you are not only one? Maybe they kept their mouths shut just as you did or even worse they choice to talk these things just to hide their real thoughts about suicide. Just maybe..But we will never now. And nobody is to judge.
Before I became like this, I too was as ignorant as those people. I guess not knowing what it must be like on the other side of the fence has something to do with it.
that happened about a month ago at my school. Don’t listen to them. They don’t know what it’s like to hate themselves.
I’m having the same story with my school. However I gave reason for why suicide is a good option. Thats when some people turned their backs to me.. ;L we should talk. Come read my story. It would be nice. 😉 Cathy.
That bothers me sooooo much its not even funny. I absolutely hate and can’t stand at all people like that. My family is like that.. If I were you in that class my anger would probably have overcome me and I would have just beat the shit out of everyone.
I think they do have a point about suicide being selfish in the sense that it hurts those around you and who care about you. I was looking up articles on how to kill yourself and instead of giving me an answer, it made fun of suicide. It portrayed it as a stupid, selfish way of taking the easy way out and how ridiculous it was and how our kind of people end up in hell. It made me so angry. Do they know how hard suicide is and what mental boundaries had to be pushed to actually go through with it? It disrespects all those people who had already taken their own lives. It seems to me that its telling all those who had suffered had taken their lives for no real reason. Its people like them that drive me to insanity. They might be making people like us feel guilty about suicide and make us not want to go through with it, but it has the opposite effect on me. It makes me feel bad, like I am being selfish and stupid. I feel like im a bad person, and since im so terrible, everyone is better off without me. So what if im being selfish? I never do anything for myself. If I go to hell, so be it! Life is hell already!
Chocheepo- Well I get why that will make suicide seem selfish. But some people do it because they have absolutely no one. So in their case would it still be considered selfish ? Also that is one of the reasons why I don’t tell many people because they always think it’s a joke and they don’t realize how serious it actually is.
In my school what really happens is that they say is a sin. I hate ignorants, I really do. They don’t understand anything, because they don’t suffer. Sometimes, I wish that they suffered so I can be understood.
