Tried (and nearly succeeded) when I was 13. I got lucky that time.
Suicide is a selfish option. When you're hurting, it doesn't seem like it is, or maybe like anyone would care. But you would be missed if you did kill yourself.
I'm here for you (and anyone else) if you need an ear.

I've thought about it. I was 15 at the time. Things weren't going so well for me. I was being bullied, my parents were going through a messy divorce, and I had found out that my dad had stopped caring about me a long time ago among other things. His exact words were, "I would rather be locked in a room with that woman for a year than have to spend 5 minutes with that kid." Hearing him say that hurt. That, plus a bunch of other things made me fall into a depression. I didn't know who to talk to. I was scared to tell anyone. Got to the point I started thinking about it. But then, I realized that this was a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Not only that, but the wrong solution. I realized that if I were to go through with it, I'd be putting my friends, my family, my own mother through years of suffering and grief. Yea, I would no longer have to deal with my problems, but at what cost? The cost of putting everyone I care about through all that pain? I could never do that. I could never bring myself to cause such pain with an act as selfish as that. I just couldn't bear to think of hurting everyone like that.
To stubborn to go out like that...I think of it like this,if I take myself out too soon than I don't know what could have been...as rough as things get I always need to know what happens next,and if that next is death than so be it.I'm ready for my time anyway...because death is an inescapable truth.But this is just basic knowledge.You'll get no sob story from me...that would just make me look like a jerk in front of people with real issues.I just think that pondering on death is never an option,I've done it,but I realize how stupid that is.Live every day as you want,then when death comes,who cares?
When I was younger and bullied a lot I thought about it a lot but when I got out of high school and moved to business school suddenly life started smiling again.
What did you do to them? Sounds interesting.Julianking93 said:Thank you. As I've said before (and actually have gone into detail as to how I got those assholes back) it was a sweet and satisfying revengeAura Guardian said:
sure in a just thinking about it as to put it into action no. no point i mean if like you were having a stand out with a opposing army or something and the biggest thing you could steal from them was kill their guys and then yourself because it wouldnt of mattered anyway then yes but i mean really. actually if i remember correctly alot of people that have attempted suicied and failed once they started actually had second thoughts and it scaryed the sht out of them. o and what age are you i mean its natural(espically at certain ages) i myself get extremly bored at times and it depresses me to no end
Nope. People who commit suicide are weak and those who do it are depriving everyone around you the chance to see of what will come out of your life. Whatever problem you have and may think is unbearable, $5 says someone else has it worse and look they are still alive.
Thought about it. In my worst moments I think suicide would be a mercy for everyone around me -- sure, they'd be sad for a bit, but at least they wouldn't have to deal with me and my crazy. I'd be doing them a favour, right? (Right?) At least now I'm usually at the point where I know better, even if I don't feel it.
Seriously. Having a serious discussion about how badly mental ~*~issues~*~ can fuck you up on a forum like this? It is to laugh (and then weep about later, in private).Valksy said:
I am only 15 and I have seriously considered it before. A couple of years ago I was bullied by pretty much every boy in my school year pretty much every day. For 4 years straight. I came incredibly close to killing myself but now I'm incredibly glad I didn't life has improved so much and I now know killing myself would have been an incredibly bad idea.
In a case of incredibly cruel irony, the ringleader of the bullying (who I am now quite good friends with) had a sister who committed suicide 2 years ago. Her family has yet to recover. Anthony seems normal and happy but every once in a while something reminds him of his sister and you can see how badly hurt he still is. I can't help thinking that he might contemplate following his sister.
Don't commit suicide, it's not worth it for you and if you really think it's worth you will ruin your friends and families lives as well.
I'm only young but if you need someone to talk to PM me. I would be happy to talk to you.

Thought about it, but the only forms of suicide I can think of being plausible in England, due to lack of guns, are all painful, so I can't be bothered with it.

I think that most posters here are totally ill-equipped to converse on the subject of mental health illness.
And as we have seen (as gamers) in the past there is a potential legal issue at hand for the creators of The Escapist site. A WOW gamer said in chat channel that he wanted to off himself and ended up with the cops on the doorstep. Same happened again when some schmuck called billing and threatened his own life - again the police show up.
That burden shouldn't be placed here, it is completely inappropriate.
I kind of think the same way. I think suicide is the "weak way out", and personally, even though I sometimes may feel a bit depressed (and that only happens if I'm sick, and don't go out at all on those days, then I just feel so lonely that I get depressed a bit), I've never, EVER thought of commiting suicide. Even though my life has been a smorgasbord of shit-flinging into my face (believe me, my mum has tried to commit suicide, and tried to take me with her, which has lead to many, many years of driftin from orphanage to orphanage, from foster family to foster family, and I'm in one currently, but at least a more secure one, and I'm actually really happy that she didn't succeed, and went to prison, because she has actually much improved), I always look at things from an optimistic angle, and I always have my friends, the IRC, and these forums, and generally the internet, to keep me from thinking about the generally pretty depressing family life that I have (which has lead me to looking forward to growing up and going to live somewhere else, which I've actually already talked about with one of my best friends).Tdc2182 said:
But even though I may look forward to it, and wait for it eagerly (especially having taken the approach of one other user in this thread, the "Fuck it" method, and not worrying about what financial problems that period may bring), I'm still trying to remain as optimistic with what I've got, as I can, and generally, I've succeeded.
Also, I am writing a novel of sort, just because I like writing, and coupled with posting on the IRC and this forum, it's a great way to distract myself from problems I have, and it does kid of make one feel better.
Ages ago when I was really depressed, going through all kinds of crap, I started self loathing, cut my self, ripped my hair out, banged my head on walls repeatedly until I pass out, stuf like that. I came very close to killing my self: I got in the bathtub and stuck my head under the water trying to drown myself, when my body started having spasms I thought "WTF am I doing? I dont want to die!" I got out of the tub. It could have ended all there, but I decided to start thinking "It can only get better" and ever since I started thinking that, It did, my troubles didnt go away like magic, but they didnt make me sad either. Ever since then I have been happy as can be.capin Rob said:
