You have so little self esteem to a point where you'd kill yourself. You should really do something big in your life like become a rock star. Who cares what society thinks of you. What have they ever done for you, except make you feel shit. Like all of us, we leech off society. Rock the casbah.


your advice is terrible

having suicidal thoughts is half of what being a teenager is about.

God, I know it's bad and what I would be thinking is bad, I just can't control it during those times, but I'm getting better. It's just my view during those times, not saying it isn't unselfish. I know I'd be causing pain, but when I'm stuck in that mood, I don't see it that way. Think of it as light MPD. I'm the still the same person, but I think completely differently.

i agree :D
IMO, it is but thinking about it and doing it is diffrent.
i dont think FacePlate was saying he is going to commit suicide and
everyone will be better off, just when your in a mood where you
question living you think like that.

It's completely different in jesssssssssssssssssss' case. Most people commit suicide because their life is shit, not because they care for society too much.

Quote from The Pirate
It's not so much selfishness as it is cowardice.

A way of running from problems, as opposed to facing them regardless of how hard it may be. There's always someone who has been through worse than you have and has gotten out alive, there's really no justified excuse to take your own life.


Exactly that.

It's a selfish act, but it's a cowards act at the same time.
There will always be somebody in a worse situation.

Maybe they're just messed up in the head though. In that case, it's for the best.

I had this debate with a friend of mine, because i was taking the piss out of some girl who hung herself with a tie. In before; BRB Blk parade, etc.
He thought it was wrong, i told him it was all jokes.

She killed herself just because of something she thought was true. She wasn't bullied, she was just a ****ing emo.
Her mother brought her up all those years, cared for her, just for her to kill herself?
Selfish.

Unless you literally can't live with yourself and what you are, then it's an act of a fool.
I must say, though, it's a difficult thing to take your own life. It's cowardly, but to just erase yourself from existence really isn't that easy.

Its your life, its your choice. All though I don't exactly like the moms choice since she did have responsibilities. But still.

It's a choice that is probably made in a muddled mindset and one that the person would regret if they were thinking straight.

Suicide can be a final act of defiance, yo. Like taking your life before someone can torture you. That situation happens rarely, but it still happens.

Committing seppuku used to be the honorable thing for samurai to do when they failed.

Suicide can be a good thing. I know from personal experience.

I have had 2 people I was related to commit suicide since 2005, My father and my uncle both did. My mom and I are the only two who actually know about my uncle, who committed suicide on December 6th, 2006 (I have two sisters, twins, whose birthday is the 6th.)) but the effects of both of suicide greatly reduced the stress in everyone who knew them

Suicide means you're a pussy, a coward.

Not so much as in selfish. Why should I be alive just because my mom wants me to be a doctor?

I've had suicidal thoughts, but my personal problems aren't relevant.

Who, hasn't I mean yesterday, when I found out that I had completely fucked up a major Mathematics exam, and hadn't lived up the expectations of my family I was thinking of doing it, but hey I am already severely depressed already. But life has its ups and downs, and you just have to learn to cope.

All teens have thoughts of suicide. It's the weak ones who aren't around anymore.

Who hasn't killed themselves?

Killing yourself is one of the dumbest things you can do. It's not like you're angry at your parents, and want to kill yourself just to look at them cry at your funeral. Loads of children think of doing that, and it's one of the dumbest things conjured by a human brain since Kitty Krew.

Killing yourself is retarded, but a lot of tards on this forum really should take the initiative. :P

Umm. What is with a bunch of people thinking about suicide on this forum. Personally I have never thought about committing suicide or injuring myself in anyway. I have been sad at a couple of times in my life, but not something I would consider depressed.

@Aqua~I know I don't know your family situation and all, but how is it possible that the suicides of two members of your family be a stress reliever?
