429 Entries for “suicide”

  1. My first memory of learning about suicide was hearing on the news how a man had been arrested for trying to jump off a bridge. He’d been talked down and then they arrested him. I asked my Dad why and he said, “because it’s illegal”. I thought, “it’s illegal to commit suicide? How? And technically he DIDN’T commit suicide so he didn’t commit a crime, and if he had… well you couldn’t really punish him could you.” The issue of suicide’s legality confused me more than any other aspect for a long time.

  3. it’s not always easy to live life. fuck, it’s never easy. and some people decide that it’s just too hard and they just can’t continue. suicide can be a relief to most and others it can be an escape from what is hurting them. then there is social suicide. don’t join mathletes.

  4. It’s awful. It hurts the people that are left behind after. Its really scary because if you did it you don’t really know where you’re going to go when it’s over. Its all bloody and disgusting. Thinking about it makes my heart beat fast. My friend tried it once. I saw the scars, she was talking about the blood on her socks.

  5. Why THIS word??? Well a girl at my school commited suicide last year… It made me wonder a lot about death. Its a really creepy thing to think about, and I dont like thinking about death.

  6. She fell from the tower.
    Slowly.
    In her mind it was all happening very slowly.
    Events flashed through her mind.
    This was how it was supposed to happen.
    This is how it went in the movie.
    And then, just before she hit the pavement his face flashed through her mind.
    She had made the right decision.
    She had no regrets.
    He had taken everything. There was nothing left.

  7. This is something I thought would be a good thing. Funny how you think things like that. Sometime I forget I tried it, then I feel sad because I think of all the people who did. I turned out okay- sometimes I wonder if it’s some kind of God telling me I did the right thing, like a reward for holding on and trying it.

  8. Silence. An overwhelming darkness. Nothing can penetrate. Cutting off everything from the existence and knowledge of the world. Excommunicating from the mainstream and from all who embrace it with reckless abandon. Social suicide might possibly be the best decision that an individual can make to enhance their own growth and self-exploration.

  9. Already he could hear the howls of the mob outside the window. He could see the flashing camera lights of the reporters. He had to get rid of her now or his career would be in tatters and he would be committing political suicide.

  10. i’ve thought of this several time. thought this was the year to do it. 23. well i made it to 24 so glad it was only a thought. between death and suicide, was that the name of the book? full of studies on why a person might contemplate… the essay on women. we have many reasons to seek death.

  11. Sometimes I wonder what it will feel like. I f the release would be as sweet as my imagination claims it is. IF people will miss me. If I would actually have the nerve to do it. I hope not.

  12. She stood on the edge of the cliff, and looked down. She could hear the rumble of his diesel truck behind her, it was getting closer. There was nowhere to go, but the other side of the cliff was only barely close enough. She was afraid to jump, but to stay would be suicide. She took a deep breath and leaped.

  13. i think suicide is a huge problem in the world. people are the cause of suicide. people criticize and judge and these acts lead to such harsh consequences; suicide. it’s so sad how people go through such acts and its extremely hard on the family also

  14. Suicide seemed like such a cowardly horrible thing until I heard someone describe it as “he took his own life”. As if life is not something we don’t already possess.

  15. Terrible, awful, crappy. Not a good idea. Why? What a word to get on my first time here! Eeesh.

  16. You hear about it all the time, but it never gets any less scary. You wonder how things get so bad that someone would take their life, but then, how would I know? Thankful is what it makes me. But still, it’s scares me.

  17. oh my gosh really? i think about this because i watched harold and maude the other night. i have never laughed at suicide nor thought myself capable of it but it was shocking and hilarious. hilarious because it is so fake and overdramatic and shocking because it shows you better insight into people’s true motivations for committing suicide. i want to stop them from doing it. how? love people around me. all i can do.

  18. i think we all feel a desire to escape the physical world at certain moments when we feel worthless and things arent going the way we want.

  19. Ella se suicidó. Somehow that sounds a lot prettier in spanish than in English. I’m not sure how I can be that cavalier with this word, since a very dear friend of mine recently told me if her ex committed suicide then she immediately would too. What a waste of life! But how can you convince someone who has devalued their life to such a point to reject everything they think they stand for…except themselves?

  20. I think it’s a selfish act that hurts so many people. But I understand it. I’ve been so depressed that I can see why some choose to do it. But then I think about the people who’ve lost parents, friends, siblings, and others due to natural death and the grief that it brings. I wonder how in the world anyone could seriously go through with it, intentionally hurting others like that.

  21. The sad act of one killing them selfs. Usually to escape the pain and stress of their life. Most common in teens taking their life to leave the pain of bullying and or other things putting stress on the adolescent. Or someone doesn’t want to live with something that has happened that they caused or something that was just really hard on them.

  22. really, suicide is the word I get? Well suicide is one loaded subject. BAsically, it’s bad, real bad, awful bad. DOn’t do uit. It hurts those who are alive. please don’t kill yourself.

  23. There is a disease being cultivated in my brain. A bird in a cage, a monster under a bed. I admit it, I stole the cookie from the cookie jar. It was I who broke the dashboard hula girl. Smashed her into pieces and pieces. When will you confess, that it was you who had hanged me?

  25. Suicide is usually caused by depression or other psychological issues. I don’t really know what else to say about it, because I don’t have experience with it, but at least I’m honest. I couldn’t really be typing this if I had experience with suicide.

  26. Suicide is death. Death can be extremely depressing or beautiful. One may commit suicide to fine relief from the life that is supposed to be beautiful but in reality is wrenching and a sickness in the pits of all stomachs.

  27. Suicide is usually caused by depression or other psychological issues.

  28. Suicide is actually kinda selfish.They think whatever comes next will be better and that is thinking of only what they want.

  29. wow this is a wierd subject to be talking about
    so who would want to comment suicide? why would any one ever even think of that and only heart less freaks want to comment suicide,cause they dont even care about there family are or anything if there going to kill them selfs,well if you want to kill your self go play some call of duty games or something so you can kill some thing other than your self!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. Suicide is a sad thing. People believe that taking their own lives will solve their problems. Maybe all their problems would vanish if they just had someone the vent too.

  31. Suicide is depressing! Hearing about people that want to kill themselves because of their depression? I want to cry when I hear that. I have a very close friend that considers suicide on a daily basis and there’s no way to stop those thoughts once they’ve entered his mind. It’s absolutely painful for me. I can only imagine his pain.

  32. It is very wrong to commit scuicide. One doctor actually used to help people commit it. They called him Dr. Death
