this is just a thread trying to find out peoples views on suicide i dont know what else to type up so post back
It’s stupid.
Depression is a terminal illness.
Suicide is one of the symptoms.
I’d say it depends on the circumstances. My “mate’s” recent suicide has been put down to attention seeking, he’s done it before, but this time he fucked up. The police and family say that he didn’t take into account that he’s put on weight, so instead of having enough time to be saved, he died. In cases of attention seeking, it’s shallow, selfish, stupid. In cases of depression / mental illness, I think it’s still stupid, but they’re different situations to seeking attention, so I’m more inclined to sympathise with it.
I think suicide should be illegal and punishable by death.

It’s hard to understand the mentality behind suicide. But clinical depression is a real illness and suicide can seem like the only escape from the pain. I’ve had a few experience with loved ones. It’s the scariest thing in the world. If you think you might be depressed, go see a doctor. It’s okay.

(To Write Love On Her Arms) is a great anti-suicide organization.
no no no im not depressed or thinking about suicide or anything like that i just cbf scouring google and i think the views of other people who share one of the same interests as me (unicycling) ithought it would be interesting to have a suss of there views on it
I’ve committed suicide several times but was never really pleased with the results. I’m kind of hooked on it now, but I’m considering quitting. I might try the patch.
Do you have any views on it yet, or are you waiting for us to form them for you?
Is that the one that fits snugly over the mouth and nose?
I think its really sad that people kill themselves. I think most people do it out of depression because I think I thought of it at one point in my life. I’ve spoken to a friend who has and we both think it is not the thing to do. It’s a selfish thing to do.
If you save yourself from more pain than you inflict on everyone else, then it’s okay, but that is very very VERY rarely the case.
Also, I don’t find it wrong to commit suicide if you say have cancer and are going to die anyway for sure. I think that if I got an illness that I had no chance of surviving I would start doing reckless, borderline suicidal things, so that I can go out with some excitement instead of a hospital. Perhaps I would jump off a cliff with my uni or something of that nature, I wouldn’t want to just die from cancer.
Hmm, I think I’d class being so desperate for attention that you kill yourself as a pretty serious mental illness. I think telling people that desperate for attention that they’re being selfish is akin to telling the depressed person to cheer up.
Also i think any question about the morality, logic or ethics of suicide is entirely devoid of point, none of these things matter to would be suicide commiter, they are by definition beyond the bounds of logic.
hmmm…
I think that if you do kill yourself that depending on how you do it the last 5-10 seconds of your life would probably be really exciting… You are about to know what one of the best kept secrets ever is… What happens when you die?
mmmm…
On the other hand… what a bummer… you miss out on something that is defintly awesome, life.
You never know what might be next, it could suck more… but life can always have at least a little bit of good in it, no matter how much things suck right now.
I dont have a problem with it so much… We all die, some of us sooner than others… It can be by bus, by train, by airplane… You never know when someone might die… Suicide is almost like another one of those accidents… eh…/
I think suicide is stupid to be honest… there are people out there to help so there is no need to go and take your own life. In my opinion it just causes more problems, although not for you, for your family. And that is cruel and selfish… to make them suffer unnecessarily.
The only time I think it would be ok to end ones life would be if they are suffering unnecessary pain from a terminal illness. If there is no chance of recovery I think it is cruel to let some one suffer.
If you don’t believe in an afterlife, you might not be concerned with how other people will feel when you’re gone. You won’t be around to worry about it.
I believe that when I die my consciousness will cease to exist. No soul or spirit will fly away to live elsewhere. I’m just gone. Going to heaven (or whatever nice place your religion says) sounds better, but I don’t believe that’s reality.
Not believing in an afterlife means this is it for me. I’ve got a tiny window of time, so cutting it short doesn’t make much sense.
Thats exactly how i feel… gotta live it up… unicycle as much as possible 
What a sad thing to not exist anymore… kinda.
My view is that it’s one of those things you can only get right once, but you can screw up over and over.
Uh, and since you can only get it right once, and if you do you don’t get to see peoples’ reactions, you never know if it achieved the desired effect.
So tell us. Where you thinking of trying it?
no i was not thinking of trying it a mate was talking about it and i had nothing to say so posted this thread.
When I think “suicide” I think “coward”. People who kill themselves are removing their own pain but inflicting so much more pain and sadness on their friends and loved ones. These people are so selfish that they don’t care that all of their friends and relatives will be put through so much sorrow. I have no respect for people who end their own lives, and if someone survives a suicide attempt I try not to give them any attention. I don’t want them to achieve the desired effect. If they get attention from one suicide attempt and they begin to lose that attention, they are bound to try again.
Which is right up there with telling someone who’s legs have just been severed by a speeding train that they should “just stop bleeding”.
