MinggYeah one of my best friends from high school just killed herself last week. Shit is so crazy. In my high school there were a couple kids who tried but at least when I was there no one actually killed themselves.
Jamey Rodemeyer went to a school close to me and his death shook up pretty much all of our area. Our school actually implemented this anti bully program district wide as a result and it was pretty intense. Suicide is fuckin terrible.
californiagrownThe opinion i posted comes from a guy who is clinically manic depressive, and who has also seen suicide up close.
there is a large difference between knowing something is wrong, and feeling that something is wrong. a suicidal state of mind is irrational, but in most cases, not delusional. They know its wrong. they know it will hurt people. they dont care. tehy just want their own pain to stop.
VTbass802Just shut up. You are so one dimensional it makes me sick. You have no idea how varied and complex peoples' struggles, situations, and reasons for doing things are, and instead of being receptive to those possibilities, you just stick to your own bigoted opinion and say things that are not only offensive, but potentially very harmful. So just stop, and consider for once that just because you have your own issues does not mean that you even remotely understand other peoples'.
californiagrownSorry that my extremely well informed opinion
JustGoWithItDefine "Well informed".
californiagrownYes, i absolutely am influenced by my own eperiences. But also, with how much I've been around it, I've talked to and heard from literally 20+ professionals.
I would consider that a well informed opinion.
JustGoWithItSo you are telling me that those 20+ "professionals" in general consider those who attempt or commit suicide as "selfish, malicious pieces of shits."? I'm sorry but I don't think that would make for a very effective practice.
californiagrownThey aren't there to tell you how to feel. They are there to explain the event, and help you process how you feel about the event
JustGoWithItHa, you just proved his point with your own argument.

californiagrownHow so?
californiagrownI am of the opinion that most people who go through with legit suicide attempts can go fuck themselves.
If, at the end, they still logically understand that killing themselves is wrong, and they know their family/friends/aquaintences will be devastated, but they still go through with it, they can go fuck themselves because they are selfish, malicious pieces of shit.
I have the utmost sympathy, empathy, and respect for people struggling with depression. I have absolutely no respect for people who give up on that struggle and voluntarily pass that pain on to those around them.
msewardThis is probably the most ignorant post i've come across in six years on NS.
do you realize that people who commit suicide have a disease? in many cases they may not "understand" all of what you listed. They feel like there is no way out and in many cases feel like they are taking a load off of their loved ones by killing themselves. They dont just say "Fuck you, I'm out, deal with it." A lot of people with depression feel alone, hated, not wanted, better of dead for evertone - no matter how much love and support they get from family and friends. Humans have a self preservation gene, you are literally wired to keep yourself alive at all costs, being suicidal is a defect in that gene.
Suicides are a god damn shame and the people who commit them are most certainly not selfish malicious pieces of shit.
Fuck off. Idk who the fuck "informed" you but : Your opinion is by no fucking means well informed from any standpoint: any psychiatrist, any pshycologist , any biologist,neurologist, would call you a fucking idiot.
californiagrownIf you asked 100 suicidal people if they thought someone out there would be negatively affected by their suicide, how many yes's do you think you would get?
You really think they know for a fact that no one would give their suicide a second thought, or be happy about it?
DobberWe need to get rid of people like you.
YoungDaphOne thing I have noticed is all the people from my high school that committed suicide successfully were all seemingly outgoing, fun and extroverted people. It's strange how someone who seems so loved and exuberant can really be battling some major inner demons.
theabortionatorIt's weird but sees to be fairly common. Something about making other people happy can help you deal with things and give you a purpose. Idk. I'm really outgoing and social but also scared, paranoid, anxious, depressed about everything and nothing as well.
It's weird.
Idk
californiagrownWatched my 3rd best friend jump in front of a train and explode freshman year.
then sophomore year another good friend jumped in front of a train during the 2nd quarter of our final football game. The tracks run about 10' behind the visitors stands, so the whole thing including the investigation played out during our game. We all knew immediately knew what had happened. Not an easy game to play.
I have strong feelings towards suicide.
Mr.SaltyNot trying to be rude, but do you rate your friends? Also related a junior got drunk and got hit by a train.
