i am a year 12 student, whom for background knowldeg did have depression for most of my highschool years, had constant thoughts throught daily life of killing myself. I have also been through 4 different situations where someone has told me they are going to commit suicide and they have basically thrown it all on me and i was fighting each time hysteric tears, because a couple were before i even thought of such horrid things and then the other couple were after i had gone through with massive grieveing of my bestfriend who commited suicide. i didnt even have the chance to save him. and i was made to believe for a couple of years that my good friend had been killed , when later i found out she hadnt. what i want from you all, are to voice your oppinions on why you think you have the right to take your life, OR if you are opposing this, you may write why you do not think it is fair, etc. i have strong beliefs on this subject and really would appreciate if you took the time to help me out, thankyou very much

I think everyone should have the right to choose. I think some reasons are of course far better then others. I don’t think its a decision you should come to lightly though, and I think you should definitely seek proffesional counseling first. Ideally to me it would be legal with a 6 month or maybe year long mandatory counseling program, if you go through the program and still want to go through with killing yourself. Then you should be able to go to a hospital and have the fatal drugs professionally administered something quick and painless and guarenteed to do the job and well there you go. Some reasons that might make me choose to go through with it, well if I got diagnosed with an incurable cancer I wouldn’t want to live it out all the way to the bitter end. If I got paralyzed, or really any kind of severely debilitating and painful health problems that couldnt be fixed. Oh and I think there should be a minimum age for it but I am not sure what the minimum age should be. 18, 21 those both just seem to young to me I mean I think you should really give it a good try first…maybe 25 I dunno all the kids on here will probably get mad at me for saying 25 😀
@what amidoinghere- i agree with the whole wait until your older-maby not quiet 25 but yeah waiting is good.
andnow to answer the question. i think suicide in some cases is the best solution. if the person isnot going to get better or will have to live a life they hate and that cannot be changed, if they have struggled and tryed before. i think suicide should be viewed differently in general and that if a person has got to the point where they want to die they should be able to tell their friends and family (if applicable) and a doctor and tell them their reasons, after that it should be carfully looked into if there is no way to help, to make life worth living. there then should be a waiting period to make sure the person is sure and then when the tome comes they should be able to die in a peacful environment and being able to have said goodbye to family members. and to be honest people put animals down for suffering. why not humans? its peoples birth right to find happiness, if that will never be fufilled or they cannot ever find something to make the unhappiness easier ir worth it, why should they suffer??
