Personally I wouldn't have the courage to do it (not that I would wish to do so).

If you have such a hard problem where you need to kill yourself over it then it must take A LOT more strength and courage to fight that problem for years and get over it then to just kill yourself and end it all.

This is just speculation though since I have never been depressed or felt the need to kill myself..so go ask an Emo that.

Because it is a SIMPLE solution in which you end it all instead of having to go through life going to face your problems head on like a man.

"Yeah, this girl didn't like me; might as well kill myself so I won't have to live through the shame of getting dumped."

What are you talking about?

Ending your life eternally is easier than getting rejected by a girl?

Just amazing, amazing bullshit.

That's true actually.

"Emo's are pussies who cut themselves."

Do you regularly take a blade to your own skin then? Didn't think so (also not condoning this).

They're not pussies for that; they're just dumb asses for doing that.

But unfortunately, some people have done it.

Ummm, it was just a farfetched example; relax.

I am relaxed.

Actually, I'm not. Might jump off something; easier.

Gee, whoever said, "Emos are pussies who cut themselves?"

I didn't state it was smart did I? I said it's not exactly a wimpy act, cutting yourself willingly.

Suicide in itself isn't a cowardly act. I would be pretty shaked up if I knew my life was going to be over for eternity.

I find it amazing that no one had any idea.

well, apart from the disrespect for the dead,
i must say im happy to not see any fakeass "RIP" posts
laced with crocodile tears.

Key part there is the last part where he says he's never been in that situation.

The fact that he said "an emo" also subtracts credibility from his statement.

I'm not making fun of his death; I'm just emphasizing that killing himself wasn't the brightest of ideas IMO

It is rooted into the very depth of your psyche to stay alive. Overriding that is not possible for a coward. You will find plenty of people around whose lifes have been destroyed- normally by being caught doing something very wrong- who wanted to kill themselves but lacked the courage.

But beyond all that- it is useless trying to ascribe comfortable, rational motives to anyone so depressed that they are feeling suicidal. Such thoughts are, almost by definition, IRraational so the commentary is useless- and doubly useless for being of no help in stopping it. Spread that mesasage about suicide- that it is cowardly and wimpish- and you merely alienate those feeling depressed so that they hate themselves more. Pointless. Such situations need understanding, not attacks.

This reminds me of that kid who had a Uzi, killed about 2 people and killed himself

He Shot himself, and your all making fun of him because he is EMO. What in the **** Is wrong with you people, a Kid was Killed.

😬

Did any of you actually read the report from top to bottom? The person who wrote it is seriously taking the piss out of the situation, albeit in a very clever manner.

I feel sorry for the kid for feeling there was no other way out. And I think he's a coward for blowing his brains out. But the fact that he was quite obviously 'emo' is irrelevant to his killing himself. It could have been a sweet, 16 year old girl who loved everything pink and listened to Girls Aloud 24/7, but I'm sure you all would have found some other generalisation to make.

And as for it being plastered all over myspace, who gives a flying f.uck? I'm a member of myspace and it has no reflection on me... the only way this fella's gonna be remembered now is as another internet suicide. At least his attempt wasn't planned years ahead between hundreds of other like minded souls like some internet suicides are. Who can be blamed for this one? Only the silly boy himself.

I really hate people who talk about suicide and people who have attempted it with such contempt because chances are they have no idea what it is like to be that far that you think it's the only option. Wise up or shut up.

WORD

Who cares..the kid off'd himself and nobody in this thread gives a shit about him including me..end thread.
