Yep, you're right...just looked it up. But "Affect" is the correct word in this case.

Yeah I agree with you, 100%, but the thing that hurts is the fact that they rarely see the goodness that they have in front of them. They don't balance it out with the people who love them oppose to the stupid people who don't.Any depressive meds can higher the suicidal thoughts and actions. It's been tested n proven.
For the first two weeks of taking most medical anti-depressents there is a 60% chance that they increase your thoughts and actions of suicide.

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
I know how you feel, and I know all too well how your friend must have felt.
Bullying occurs ALL the time in schools, yet nothing is done about it. Teachers turn a blind eye. I was at school once, and was teased, and nothing was ever done to help me. The teachers let it continue, even in class, I would have these people shouting things at me, throwing things at me, and the teachers would pretend not to see.
It got so bad I, myself, tried to commit suicide, twice. I guess I realised that I didn't want to die, because on both occasions, I called an ambulance.
I never wanted to die, I just wanted something to be done about the bullying. It saddens me to hear that kids take their lives because of it. It isn't enough to suspend the bullies, they come back to school as mad as hell, and hellbent on revenge.
It isn't enough to change schools, because that is just running from the problem.
Suicide is selfish, because it hurts so many people, but I don't feel anger toward the girl. I feel angry toward the school. They should have known something was wrong, and fixed it.
This is where the problem lies-in schools. Something needs to be done, and fast, before other lives are lost.

Exactly. Fully agree 😊

People can't understand why people commit suicide. It's a catch 22. In order for someone to truly understand they would have to do it. But by doing that, they lose their minds to death.
It's like the Meno paradox: You cannot find what you don't know, but you can't know it unless you find it.

I think that if people knew what it was like to suffer from depression, and be miserable everyday, they'd be more sympathetic. I speak from experience, I know what it's like to feel like you can't go on. It all gets on top of you.

There are plenty of people whom know what it's like to suffer from depression. It's rather common actually. It's just a matter of the people who don't get help are the ones that take their life. It's for those people to reach out if they feel their life is going down that path. I feel sorry for the ones whom resorted to suicide, don't get me wrong on that. But sometimes it takes more courage to reach out for help then to take your life.

Lets take me then.
I reached out for help, been going to counciling and on anti-depressents ... but did that stop me just a few weeks ago for attempting to take my own life ... no it didn't.

You don't need anti-depressents. Those do more harm then good. What's really the problem? Once you find that out, then talk to whom you truly trust. Not some stranger that has a degree. Trust me, I'm a psychology major. These people don't truly care about you. Go to someone you care about and talk about it. Not some shrink that thinks they know you in and out.
In fact, in one of my classes today a guy was making fun of a kid who came to his father a day ago saying he wanted to kill himself. Trust me, some of them care don't get me wrong, but most of them just want to get you out of there. They're so willing to throw pills at the person, but not willing to get under the persons skin. It's truly frightening. So much so that I'm thinking about changing my major.
