I don’t want to offend or judge people.
Suicide is the most selfish act you can inflict on friends and family!
Maybe u guys are thinking “My parents don’t love me.” well sometimes u guys think your parents don’t love u just because they make u clean your room or they won’t let u go to partys etc. THATS NOTHING! They only do it for your own good so u won’t get pregenant. If they abuse u or if they seem to yell at u for no reason then thats a different thing. Be smart, if they abuse or hurt u talk to a teacher or call 911.
If your pain is within the soul then think about this:
Life’s real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up, Sometimes you have to kind of die inside (not physically)  in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.
The world is like hell, we all have to go through it but if we are strong enough to remember those who love then we will never feel pain…….

Your comment is absolutely true.
Sure it’s selfish, yet in suicide it’s not always about an intentional “infliction” of hurt to others. The hurt is just a by-product of an act of self to rid self of whatever.
A common reason for suicide not to happen is specifically because of the knowlege of what we leave behind. Thus years of suffering for self.
Suicide has never been an easy attempt for myself, it is allways very difficult going against the instiinct to live.
My biggest concern now is that someone else in the family will committ suicide in response to mine. So at present I am alive, there is the awful thought of the pain it will cause when I do it.
Some things are not a temporary problems. they are permenant. Having others say that “Suicide is a permenant solution fro a temporary problem” is so short sighted, sure to say this to someone gives hope to some, and may actually be just the thing a person with depression from a death, breakup, job loss, etc may need to hear and not committ suicide.
I have found solice here on this site, I found it 6 months ago and am still alive so it has value. It’s a place where we can write whats going on and comment to others, to its theraputic.
All people are not made of the same stuff, we relate to others pain and see simmularities so we empathize. Yet ability to cope with things is definiltly not equal. It’s neither right nor wrong.
Some people die inside more than others, or different parts inside have died than others, saying sometimes thats what it takes to rise from the ashes isn’t exactly wrong, it’s just not exactly right either.
I know how frustrating and powerless people can feel when they deal with a suicidal person, I’ve been there trying to help others and not knowing what to say, how to say it, when to say it or not say it.
I have known people that committed suicide as aquaintenances, no one directly at a friend or family level.
All I know is that I have know way out other than suicide, I have painted myself into a corner and I face life in prison. What would a sensible person do ? I think suicide.
Most people on this site don’t complain about those little things..
I’m 40 most of your comments don’t apply to me. Maybe you’d like to not broad brush your comments so much.
I appreciate your concern, but the small things you mentioned don’t apply to a lot of people here. I agree with caucajun32’s comment completely.
Yea you seem to not have a complete grip on how depression works. Absolutely none of those things apply to most people here. Also to those who your post does apply to I think your discounting the therapeutic nature of a 16 year old kid crying about his/her mom to strangers in lieu of self mutilation or worse. If some one is posting here it means they haven’t done it yet. And we all take turns talking each other off of the ledge.
You’re right – it is selfish, but think of the people who are contemplating suicide. They’re hurting more than the ‘friends and family’ will ever hurt.
You obviously do not understand if you’re saying things like “Suicide is the most selfish act you can inflict on others”. And by the way, it’s not always about ‘parents’.
Well if family and parents don’t want their kids or loved ones to suicide – they shouldn’t have kids in the first place.
It is even more selfish for a male and female to engage in sex just to produce a child and raise him/her in a miserable world! It just perpetuates the misery!
