There really is no “least painful” way. Every method seems to have a sizable chance of pain. If something goes wrong in the process, it could also make things much, much worse.
Perhaps people here could help you brainstorm how to work with whatever is going on? You have many years ahead of you. There’s a good chance that, once your classes are over in several years, you’ll be going down a road completely different from the one that you’re on now. Study hard. Education is often a ticket to being successful.
Are there ways to get help with your classes? Getting assistance from the teacher? A tutor? Study group? Online prep? It’s probably possible to get some help so you can get your grades up a bit. You’re probably dealing with some difficult subject matter.
It’s just so complicated and I only have a few hours to do it and everyday it’s like 7 pieces of homework and one of them is always an essay. Plus I have things after school meaning that I have even less time to get all that done.
Perhaps just a little bit of help will get you going in the right direction. Having a better understanding could also mean less time is required to get the work done. How is the decision about the magnet school coming?
I’m starting to think that I don’t want to get in anymore. Plus, I don’t know if I mentioned this before but it’s only 25 people that are going to be accepted from my town and there are maybe 50 people applying to go to that school. If I can’t even make it through the first few weeks of school then how would I even make it through the magnet school?
You’ve made it through the first few weeks of school. You might be struggling a bit but it’s probably fair to say that you can push through. 50:25 isn’t too bad of a ratio. You have a fifty/fifty chance of getting in and I think you can do it if you put your mind to it.
I am trying, but it’s slowly slipping. I’ve already missed 3 assignments. My homework is hard and long, making it a little hard for me to concentrate. I just can’t.
I am trying, but that is slowly slipping away. I’ve already missed 3 homework assignments. Homework is hard and long, making it a little hard for me to concentrate. I can’t take it.
How old are you? I dropped out of high school at 16 because I couldn’t take it anymore. The socialization and stress was destroying me so I chose to drop out. I probably would have killed myself if I didn’t. I’m just saying if you are in a position to drop out instead of suicide I would drop out. Honestly school is bullshit for the most part anywways imo.
Request to your mother to see a doctor about your poor concentration skills and to get some medication for it (and don’t be embarrassed about it, plenty of people use ADHD pills to help them focus in school)
This is additional but not optional but I’d recommend watching some documentaries about kids like you struggling in school to let you know you’re not alone in this (for example, one documentary I can recommend is “Academic pressure pushing S. Korean students to suicide” on Youtube and whatnot)
And try to make Plan B and C alternatives to help you know you can fall back on something.
Perhaps try to surround yourself too in the correct environment like going to the library or put some “study” background music (or even “background noise” like recordings of library sounds if you’re at home) and try to train yourself to work while the music is playing and not stopping until the music stops. There are plenty of long instrumental BG (background) music purposefully created for study and working time that you can find on youtube.
And if you read the rules here, it’s not allowed to discuss methods to kill yourself here (but that obviously hasn’t stopped a lot to still do it)
I can tell you that when I was in 8th grade I felt hopeless and similar, i’m 21 now and the thing is I couldn’t have even imagined how much things would change from that time until now. I still have some of the same problems but honestly everything really is different. The way I see things is different, the way I feel is different, everything. I really do think you would be making a mistake to kill yourself, especially over an issue that really is temporary, because in time everything will change. This is odd to say but if you are in 8th grade and you are already thinking of suicide that means to me that you are a deep thinker. I myself am a deep thinker, and although to you now it may feel like a curse, eventually it becomes a blessing, and enables you to rise above most others. Life is hard, I can’t deny that. I would just hate to see you throw away your life and potential as a person over stress and homework.
I think a lot honestly, and most of the time it’s at 3 in the morning when I’m thinking of a lot. But I still think I should commit suicide. School isn’t the only reason why I want to end my life, but that’s a whole other story that I’d rather not mention.
Well in my opinion, the unbearable pain that you currently feel in life should be enough that you shouldn’t care if you experience pain while dying. A few minutes or even an hour or longer of pain while dying shouldnt even bother you, if you know that the dark deep heavy pain of life will never ever pull you down again. Just my personal thoughts. Pain, no matter how it comes about, sucks. I don’t want to experience pain when I die either, but if I do feel pain ( most likely), I wont care. The pain during death wouldn’t even compare to the pain I felt during my life. Anyways, right now I’m just floating above the surface to get me through the days. Hope you find peace. 😉
Hi. Well I wouldn’t consider myself a expert when it comes to suicide but I have researched for hours on the net. And let me give you this advice: there are only a few methodes that are safe and won’t cause much pain. One of them is the helium methode (or using another inertgas) – which can achieve death peacefully if all steps are carried out correctly. Overdosing on drugs on the other side is quite difficult. Having the right drug (e.g ********, Choroquine) in the right dose is very hard especially because for meds that really kill you, you need a big amount and a prescription. And while overdosing is considered the least successful methode (40:1 against you) there are more effective methodes such as hanging which usually don’t come along with much pain (or at least for only a very short period of time). Jumping from a building is also relatively successful. If you jump from 150 ft. on land you have a lethality rate of 95-97%. Last but not least you could try to shoot yourself (best would be long rifle against head/mouth) which is also quite successful and doesen’t come along with much pain.
As you can see it is harder to kill yourself as you may think. And with nearly every methode there is the risk of failing as well as a chance to suffer severe pain.
If you need a backup plan, starvation is an option. It’s painless as far as I know. I have starved before. The weakness will act as a natural anesthetic. The only problem is the time that it takes, which can be around 2 months (higher than normal BMI will take longer). So to go through with it you have to get to a point where you absolutely have no way out so that you don’t change during that time. This is also the method of choice for sick elderly people who are stuck in a country where mercy killing is illegal.
Seeing how you are so young, it probably wouldn’t be feasible for you, living with your parents. And because you are so young, you still have hope inside you, the hope that dies when people become adults. If you uncover that hope now, you have a chance for a good life. Please don’t wait, please reach out to someone, anyone, and try your best to discover that hope.
Hi Antwin, over the years not many people here have seriously discussed starvation here which is odd because I believe it is the most intuitive, easy, painless, and natural way (that’s how animals commit suicide) to end your life on your own terms.
As someone who has experimented by starving 2 months before, I can corroborate that it is not only painless but it’s enjoyable. After a short while, your body kicks into “starvation mode” which is how most animals routinely exist in the wild: somewhat insensitive to pain, highly aware, lucid, and energetic because that’s what it takes to find food.
It should be noted that studies have been made that show human beings under the effects of starvation experience a tremendous spike in cognitive skills, particularly: spatial reasoning, problem-solving, communication, and writing, which is why you can’t find any grammar or punctuation errors in this comment (unless you count the 3 Oxford commas I’ve used because that’s how the English language was written before lazy asses fucked it up and started changing the rules).
Beyond that, I can report that there is a phase of extreme euphoria toward the end. This euphoria is so strong and convincing that, each time I went on an extreme starvation, I reached a point where life seemed wonderful, making me want to live. Thus ended each of my starvations.
But it *is* very possible to take it all the way. Google the Irish Hunger Strikes of the 1980s for quantifiable data on how long each prisoner remained alive without food. I believe one lasted around 80 days. So this method is definitely not for the casual or impulsive suicidal person. You can’t have a bad day, or get dumped at the prom, then go home and starve yourself to death. Starvation is the real deal for someone who has carefully considered the decision and wants to exit life in the manner that “God” (for lack of a better word) provided every living creature.
Thank you for your comment. I do think starvation is downplayed because most of the people thinking about suicide are not completely serious about it, like you said. If there is a truly painless and easy way to die then there really are no excuses. I too love fantasizing about jumping under a train, or stabbing myself in the heart, or getting shot by the police, but that sort of thing will remain a fantasy.
As for going all the way with starvation, I think the key to not getting tricked by hope is to have a set of dreadful circumstances waiting on the other side. For instance, a person beyond rock bottom can still have their physical needs met and survive essentially as a ghost. But if their enablers stop supporting them, they will end up without food and shelter. The threat of homelessness is very effective, I think, especially for people without the skills needed to make money in this world.
This is awesome information. Never really thought about this method. Most people eat to comfort themselves from the pain. Who knew starving could take it away as well. I battled anorexia 5 years ago and I forgot the euphoria feeling during that time. It was anorexia mixed with bulimia, so I never really got far. One thing I do remember is that I felt the weakness. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have and find more peace 😉
I think there are several methods but they are not failure proof and not doing them successfully could result in brain damage and other permanent health issues. There is always CO gas – popular in Japan. Charcoal burning in the car is quite popular in Asia. But surviving CO poisoning can definitely lead to brain damage. There is also amitryptyline or codeine.

But I’m already failing all my classes. I see no point in anything, and it seems that the only solution is to commit suicide.

Determination.
You’ve made it through the first few weeks of school. You might be struggling a bit but it’s probably fair to say that you can push through. 50:25 isn’t too bad of a ratio. You have a fifty/fifty chance of getting in and I think you can do it if you put your mind to it.

I’m in 8th still can’t drop out and even if I did drop out my mom wouldn’t approve of it, so either way for me I’m stuck in school until I graduate.
Ah, ok. Sorry to hear that, that is a rough position to be in.
It is and to me it feels that the only way out of it is to kill myself or runaway or something.

You have a point, pain does suck, either if it is physical or emotional. And thanks 🙂
the least painful would be, #1 feeling good about what your doing, #2 going to sleep and never waking up.

I am not eating hoping that it will kill me. I’ve been doing it for the past 10 months and I’m still here sadly.
