About Suicide
I'd just like to make a point...
Everyone knows about suicide. You've probably heard it on the news, or maybe you know someone who ended their life.
People say suicide is selfish. They say it's cowardly and that they don't care. They say "Think of your family, you would hurt them if you left".
What those people don't realize is that suicide is not cowardly. They don't get that someone who cuts, someone who starves themself, someone who takes their life, actually tried other methods first. A person doesn't just get called names for a week and shoots herself. They don't get tripped and go to a razor. They don't rip jeans and starve for a week.
These people, they've reached out before. Again, and again, and again. They've tried to get help. Then finally, they give up.
The people that are such jerks about suicide have absolutely no idea what it's like. They don't know what it's like to have no hope... To have every shred of self esteem ripped away from you like it was just a piece of tissue paper. A person who makes the desicion to end their own life in a last attempt to escape the everlasting pain, they don't believe anyone cares. That person believes that the world would be better off without them.
I'm not saying everyone who attempts suicide deserves special treatment. I'm saying they need to be understood. People need to stop the problem before the person dies.
So, to the people who wanna be rude about it: Cut it out. You don't know what it's like to have no hope. You have no right to judge. You're only gonna make that person feel like a bigger piece of crap. You probably don't wanna be the cause of someone's death, so don't contribute to the harsh words. If you have something mean to say, save it for your pillow.
Now that that's said, discuss. Talk about how pathetic I am for sticking up for suicidals. Yell at me for saying what hasn't been said, but what needed to be.

I Originally started cutting when i was 12. You might think i was doing it for attention or something like that, but it started off as a way of punishing myself. I would cut myself while i told myself I deserved the pain. I had an eating disorder and obsessed over my weight and looks. I felt like the world was completely against me. Sometimes I still do, and it can be hard to try and stop myself from reaching for a razor. Thank you, Grace, for standing up for those who suffer.
I disagre with you. I'm not rude about suicide but i'm not nice about it. Every suicidal has a choice. So When someone goes suicidal, it was they're choice. There's no reason whatever not to have hope. Even if just a little, you should always have hope, and How dare you tell ANYONE what to do about suicide? you don't know anyone's lives or what they've been through, they can have opinions and pople who do suicide are cowardly, yet brave @ the same time. They know they'll go to hell. But cowardly
How the hell does she know how some ones life is?...My life sucks ass...
I love your picture with the mokey.
i don't think people who r suicidal r freaks or anything, but what about suicide hotlines or school counslers & all those people? you know, people who dedicate ther lives to helping people. i guess what i'm saying is, theres a way out other than suicide. there r people who want to help.
Unfortunately I disagree with you COMPLETELY
Things will always get better.
And think about it.
There is always someone who has it worse than you have it, so yeah, you could exterminate yourself, but that's the easy way out.
Its selfish, all of the people around them have lost someone they truly cared about.
There is ALWAYS help for people who feel that way. The only reason that they couldn't be helped is because they don't WANT to be helped.
I have a lot more to say on this, but I'm tired of
Yeah, well, you can go through as many books and clinics as you want, and you'll never know why someone's suicidal. It's not like you can just reach in and take that feeling away. There's two types of suicials: The real kind and the fake kind. The fake kind just want attention. The real kind don't think there's any hope, so there's not much a therapist or drugs can do except annoy them. Either way, I'm done arguing. Let's just agree to disagree.
Right because you didn't read all of what I wrote. IVE BEEN THROUGH IT TOO!
and you know what?
It wasn't because of anything I knew about!
It was sudden, hit hard, and lasted long.
Like I said. I've been on both sides, so don't you dare say I have no grounds on which to base my opinion
Actually, I did read that. And no, I'm not saying that to you in general. That's just my opinion.
And, like I also said before, let's agree to disagree.
What you say is intierly true but also depends on the situation on why they want to commit suicide
thanks... maybe now someone will understand me
YES! you're right. the true meaning of suicide: to exterminate yourself, to rid the world of the burden you call yourself
its not a selfish thing. its exactly the opposite
