few pounds of dry ice in the back seat of your car, make sure everything is air tight (that part is important!) and just take a nap.

And that statement about it being “temporary”–UNTRUE in some circumstances. If you’re facing life in prison, that’s not temporary. Come to think of it, even a few years in prison has caused MANY people to commit suicide because of the brutality and hopelessness in prison life! There are people made sexual slaves (punks) within HOURS of being in prison! And no, you can’t just get out of that, and the problem isn’t temporary. Even if it is temporary (after all, by definition, a few years isn’t technically infinite.

Sounds like someone has thought about going to prison and having some “fun.”
Hopelessness.
The inability to see past an obstacle or source of pain.

I’m not suicidal, nor have I ever been. But recently I’ve seen a lot of data on it. 10-12 year olds are killing themselves over bullying. I just read that the AF is in line to pass last years suicide rate. That’s a lot of people taking a permanent solution to temporary problems.
I’ve had my share of problems, especially over the last year, but I never thought about ending it. So I’m wondering, what actually drives people to kill themselves? Does anyone have any thoughts or insights?[/quote]
contrary to what most people think, It takes really big balls to kill yourself.

Well kids are ruthless, as adults you don’t have to go to school everyday, you have freedom. When you are a kids there is that hopelessness you are trapped and you’re around those same bullies 5 days a week. And in a lot of those cases the adults just looked away and didn’t provide any solutions. Also many parents had no idea how bad the bullying was which brings why there was such a disconnect between the child and the parents.

CORRECT.

LOL. No it doesn’t. It takes bigger balls to face life and overcome its challenges.
Wow totally misread the OP.
FWIW, people who do not consider their lives their own property have the lowest rate of suicide; form of theft, really.
My life belongs to HaShem. I would not steal from Him.
Christians’ lives belong to their Christ. I would advise them to not steal, either.
A strong faith also gives one a reason and a purpose to live, even when life, itself, sucks.
I think a good way to go would be to run up and punch a bear in the mouth. Get a friend to record it, and then edit it so when your fist is about to make contact (and the bear is about to rip you apart) it fades out like in Rocky.

If you do change your mind, I think this advice by Jack Handy would indeed come in… handy.
If you ever fall off of the Empire State Building, go limp because then people might think you’re a dummy and try to catch you, because hey, free dummy!
I think it’s selfish.
The buck stops there for you,but for your friends and family,particularly parents,life will never be the same and people will look to blame themselves for not seeing the signs,not paying more attention,and be cut up for potentially years if not decades about it.
I’ve thought alot about this issue because I was quite depressed when I was very young(10/11) and literally did not see a way out of what I was feeling.But now I realise that whatever your situation,provided you’re not locked up or something,you can start afresh.Move to a new place.Reinvent yourself.Forget everything about your last life,good and bad,and just start again.
That’ll be my plan if I ever get to that stage again.Cut all ties with my past life and just start again.

x2. Suicide should be the very last option on every bodies list. There is always help.

This shit makes me sick. I have no compassion for people that take the cowards way out. NONE. Spare me your bleeding heart. Life is tough and many people had it much worse and lived through it. I’ve known a few people that have done it and regretted that I didn’t do more to help them, but what can you do? Outside of holding them down and straight jacketing them, if they’re determined to do it, they’re gonna do it. Does it take more guts to run away or to take a stand?
I have no compassion for the person that kills themselves, but I feel for those around them that have to live with it.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly as well. I have considered it too because what teenager can say they haven’t made out some problems to be bigger than they are. But then I thought about my family and how much effort they put in in trying to raise me to be healthy and happy. I couldn’t do that to them. Now I no longer seriously consider it at all.
If you commit suicide, you literally fail at life. I agree with you guys who show no sympathy (to the dumbass, not the people around him).
It is selfish. Such horrible problems as a 15 year old girl breaking up with you might be solved, but then your parents have a funeral to plan, and they also have to live the rest of their lives thinking they failed as a parent, because you’re a selfish little brat who couldn’t get his way.
Your life is not tough. An example of a tough life would be somebody crossing the country in a covered wagon 120 years ago, somebody living in a POW camp during vietnam, or a death camp in Nazi germany. Those are tough lives, where people found death on their doorstep on a daily, or hourly basis, and guess what? They persevered.
The BEST people in this world are the ones who NEVER give up, even when faced with insurmountable odds. America would not be a country if our founding fathers just gave up because it was too hard. What about that guy who, rather than lay there and die like a bitch, cut his own arm off with a pocket knife to keep living? You think your situation is more hopeless than the guy laying there with a 20 ton boulder pinning you to the ground? Grow up man.
As far as I’m concerned, suicide is for the weak. Its a splash of chlorine in the gene pool to me. This world is rough, and if a man’s gonna make it, he’s gotta be tough.

I think its a form of mental illness. Meaning it has little to do with either cowardice or balls as some have posited.
