that statement is for the people who have already killed themselfs. not to the people who have thought about it.


I probably have. But I was never actually going to do it. (gun to head, knife to wrist. ect..) Just morbid thoughts.

Take your close-minded eugenic thinking somewhere else. I'd point you to ATG's thread about the matter, but I doubt any of it will go into your head.

edit: I've had some mild suicidal thoughts before; I'm grateful that I'm able to keep myself in check and realize, hey, there's a chance tomorrow a guy hands me a suit case with a million bucks and a girl asks me out on a date.

However small the chance may be, it's better to be there if it happens than not be there.

of course I have. Though I quickly realized that
1. I'm too lazy. Suicide seems like a lot of work to prepare properly
2. All my friends/family would go absolutely crazy.
3. Wouldn't really change anything about the problem, except that I wouldn't have to think about it anymore. Also letting others win would be really lame.
4. I'm scared, how I am I supposed to kill myself when I could hardly persuade myself to get rid of pimples (yay for being out of puberty)?
5. I actually have a good life. Some major blow backs here and there, but nothing that I can't get over
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Yes, a few times, then afterwards, each time, I would look back and smack myself across the face for being so stupid. What is it gonna solve? Hell, Im just some dumb ass kid, so yeah. I guess most people probably have.

Not really, at least it doesnt really hurt me. And Ive been pretty lucky. I go crazy on the face washing and the cream so I hardly ever get one. I used to have it bad in 7th grade though, before I started washing my face twice a day.

I think the thought has crossed all of our minds at least once, even if it was just from reading about someone else killing themselves, and wondering how you would kill yourself.
I have, but never seriously, I consider suicide the cowards way out, and thats the last thing i want to be remembered as.

A lot of you guys are younger than 25.

I can tell you, testoserone really fucks you up.  When I was going through some shit I read up on it, It mellows when you are around 33, until then it's a raging hormone that affect how you deal with things emotionally.



As for suicide, the best reasons I can give you for not doing it are;

The effect it will have on people who care about you ( and people do, they really do )

The fact that death is a mystery and what lies beyond is a secret, no matter how fucked up you think you life is now it is surely not risking your eternal soul ( for here may indeed be such as thing ) over it.

You, as a young person, have no clue as to how short life ultimately feels like. You have no fucking clue, I can assure you.

An ancient Chinese proverb; it is in mans nature to assume a favorable wind will blow forever.



That means, good fortunes come and they go.

Same as hard times and depressed feelings.


Don't give up.

Exactly. Surely everyone has thought about it casually, but not as a serious option to solve their problems.

I thought about what would happen if I hit the wrong bump on a ski slope and cracked my skull open on a tree. Then again, involuntary suicides are merely known as "accidents."

I've thought about it, many times (in the past, thankfully).

Partially because I've had a morbid curiosity with the pain of death and the effect it has on others, partially because I was misguieded as to the exitance of God in my own beliefs. I just didn't know about anything at all.

Plus things were not going well in my social life (new school + jerks + seperation from important people = bad). I struggled with depression for the longest time. But it's over now.

I'll just put it out there, if anybody wants to talk/has questions, PM me.

Let me, as a mod, emphasise Hurricane's post.


I have thought about it for a fleeting moment. I have a condition called tinnitus (CameronPoe has it too). It's basically the perception of a ringing, buzzing, hissing, crackling, etc. noise. It ain't actually there, but I can 'hear' it. It is often described as one of the worst non-terminal medical conditions. My tinnitus is there 24 hours a day, 7 fucking days a week. I'm 18 and I've had it for 8 years. That's about 70,000 hours of my ears ringing. It's about 70,000 hours of me being isolated, being in a void where most other people have no fucking idea what I have to put up with.

And for the person who is thinking about coming here and blaming me for my own condition, saying I "should have turned the music down". When I was really young, I had ear infection after ear infection. I had dose of antibiotics after dose of antibiotics. All that took it's toll on my ears. Now, the mucous in my middle ear is too viscous to properly drain away. This results in a pressure build up, causing my tinnitus.

I'm in my final year of school, so I somewhat more stressed that normal. As a result, my perception of it worsens. This places my under more stress, so it get gets worse again. Unless I'm in a totally positive mood, it has an effect on my ability to concentrate during study. If I let it get to me during a test, I can get really sidetracked.

But, after doing some research I've found that particular types of tinnitus may be partially or totally cured. I'm seeing my doctor soon about this. There are also new treatments and ways to deal with it coming out of Germany, UK and the USA. Experiments with stem cells have shown they can regrow the 'hair cells' in the cochlea - the cells that when damaged can cause tinnitus. Of course I have everything to live for now, but I have also (for a moment) thought about the ultimate solution.



Killing yourself is not for the weak. It would take a lot of balls to do it. It is, however, very selfish as it also has a profound effect on your family and friends.

And anybody who says stuff like that is a complete "n*b". Understand what the hell chemical imbalances are before you make stupid statements like that. People who follow through with suicidal thoughts are not thinking normally. I'm sure a lot of them feel some remorse; a lot of suicide notes try to be a form of closure. But people who ultimately do the deed, have gone past the point of straight thinking. It's a very terrible thing to think about, and it's a very terrible thing when someone close to you commits suicide.

Minty, good attitude man I'm not necessarily the grand poster man of keeping yourself in check, but definitely keep hope. In 10 years you'll be 10 years stronger, and maybe in 10 years they'll have a cure for tinnitus

I'd say the million bucks is far more likely to happen to you, Hurri.



As for me, I've thought about what it might be like, but certainly never seriously considered taking my own life. I'm too much of a pussy for a start, and also nothing has ever happened to me that is so bad that I'd want to do it.

I'm surprised by the number of "Yes" answers.

To those that replied yes, I give you my respect for answering a difficult question.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

If you are ever considering suicide think about those you would leave behind.

As terrible as life may seem at times there are people that care about you. Yes, I mean YOU !

Take a breath, better yet take a nap if considering such thoughts.  If you're still thinking about it when you wake up call someone & tell them.  People care.  They really do.

Love & Respect,

T.Pike
