Teenage Suicide

Im going to try and not get angry at the people who go "blah blah blah selfish selfish blah blah" Yes, its selfish, but look at the reasons she did this for, she couldn't HANDLE the life that people were making her deal with. For someone to/try kill themself, they're not in the right state of mind, to be making dicisions like that, therefore, shouldn't fully be blamed.
She had given life a chance ... for a year, and the teachers and all the assholes here, did jack all about it. They did nothing to help her, and this is what she ended up doing, I hope they feel at least a small bit guilty and maybe next time they see something like this happening, they'll get off their lazy fat asses and finally do something about it, and then maybe ... just maybe, they might save a life.

As I explained above, it is a selfish act, because for once in this world, your thinking about yourself, and only yourself, because you never do that. And you want to get rid of the pain thats all around you, thats bring you down and you don't see any other way of doing it. Your hurting so much, and you just don't see the people all around you, wanting to help you and make things better. Its a medical condition, your mentally unwell if you think about killing yourself

It's funny you place blame on everyone else who should have done something, but yet you haven't mentioned yourself helping in any way.

It's called depression, and its entirely treatable. Most people who have it rarely off themselves. If they do, it's not because they're running from pain but more to prove a point, or lazy. People with depression arnt insane, mentally challenge or anything that unables them to make descisions. They're perfectly capable to relize what they're doing.

This girl who killed herself was pathetic. Everybody has problems (alot are worst than what happened to her), you just have to deal with it, not take the easy road and die. She could of changed schools, moved somewhere else, call kids help line, anything. So in actuality, she's a lazy pathetic girl. Somewhat ironic also, is that she basically gives in to the bully by killing herself, instead of standing up for herself.

I'am an ******* for saying this, but who cares if she died.

A fitting quote for this topic, "All I'm saying is that if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life - remind me to kill myself." (Pink, Dazed and Confused)

Please let me know if this is somehow FAIR?

A girl, for the whole of last year (2005) got bullied by alot of people in my school, no real/main reason why, a teenage thing, where its kewl somehow by making other people feel like utter sh!t.
So anyway, the holidays came, and school just started back, and she doesn't return. Why, because a few weeks before school, she kills herself (hung herself).
How do people have the right to take other peoples lives? To push them so far to the edge and then over?
😠

Life is not fair. Some people can deal with it, while others can not.

Sage words coming from someone with a swastika in their avatar and sig.

the most frightening aspect of modern young life is the apparent uncaring attitude to death. whether it be killing themselves or others. Could it be true that a society that seems to have everything has indeed, nothing.

No, it isn't a matter of modern young life. There were teen suicides before the modern, media age. They simply weren't as well publicized. These days, it's all about children safety! and children's well-being! Who pays attention to the guy who's 40 and blows the back of his head out? No one! When a kid does it, it's world news! It's all a matter of someone who can't stop thinking to themselves. In all reality, it is the action of a person who has spent so much time thinking about how much better the rest of the world has it, and decided that was too much with which to deal! There will always be someone out there who has more money, hasn't been raped by their stepfather, has peers mocking them, didn't get a barbie dream house for their bithday...but not everyone who has experienced those things in life feels the need to string themselves up!

When are people going to realize that no life-changing decisions (other than college) should be made before the age of 22????

Hell, if I had followed through with all the wild fantasies that I thought would change my world and HAD to be made (or else I would die if they weren't changed - no pun intended) when I was that age, my life would have screwed up, too.

Your friend made the concious choice to take her own life. Suicide is selfish, even though it pains me to say that. She left behind loved ones, people who cared about her, and could have helped, had she only given them a chance.

I agree.

Although I think it's a ghastly thing for anyone to do, the person is ultimately responsible for their suicide. She could have spoken to someone...reached out for help....but I guess she took the other road 🙁

Relatives of people who seriously attempt or complete suicide often blame themselves or become extremely angry, seeing the attempt or act as selfish. However, when people are suicidal, they often mistakenly believe that they are doing their friends and relatives a favor by taking themselves out of the world and these irrational beliefs often drive their behavior.

All i have to say:

May they find the peace in heaven That they could not find on earth.

Adolescents are very vulnerable! It is very dangerous leaving behind our childhood forever. We start to find obstacles and people don't receive us like before.

Redcaped, stop coming into every thread with bs comments.

Second, it's not that she couldn't find peace, she didn't try looking too far clearly.

Like anyone else sooner or later.

The above comment is epitaph.

I too believe that 'Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again' is the way to go.

Exactly.

GCG, your mistaken. She's not going to heaven, she's going to hell. She killed herself, and that's bad.

Some people just don't care where they end up and would prefer anything to what they're going through, even "HELL".

is it comprehensible.....

Right, l forgot about the Christian value. Lets say 'Afterlife' instead of heaven and not be too insolent to her familiy.
