Teenage Suicide

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?
😠

How can somebody be so selfish by killing herself?

You can put blame on the bullies for her dying, but they didnt take her life. She did, and nonbody can be blamed for that.

tho this kind of comment belongs in the philosophy forum, i'd like you to think about 1 thing.

If she killed the bullies, she would have hurt those who hurt her. By killing herself, she only hurt the people that she loved. Driving someone to suicide is a crime beyond comprehension, but if you think about the actual act, the only true suicide victims are those who loved the suicide.

Well, are you sure that the bullying is the direct cause?

You're right. Other factors could be the cause as well.

One thing I should let you know about it is that thing's aren't often fair around here.

This is one such example, but it's life.

Thanks,

Dave.

She took her own life. There a millions of teenagers that get picked on but don't commit suicide

Incredible though it may seem, Darth Jello has it right.

No, it's not fair. Some people can't understand that their actions and comments can affect a person's life.
For me, middle school felt like an undescribeable shithole. It didn't make me want to kill myself though, it just eradicated my trust and affection towards human beings as a whole.

You don't know exactly what the cause of her suicide was. You shouldn't blame the "bullies". Everyone deals with assholes at least once in a lifetime, thats just how life goes. There could be a greater cause.
Im sorry for her, but if your friend here killed herself over a bunch of assholes, she must have been way too sensitive about this kind of shit.

I wonder Why I am still alive 😐

My heart goes out to this girl and her family.

The final responsibility for a person's life rests with that person. This girl made a choice. Unfortunately, it is a fact of adolescence that foresight--in this case, being able to see beyond the pain--is less developed than it is in an adult, otherwise she may've made a different choice.

What support systems did she have in her life? Did anyone do anything to help her? Did she approach anyone for help? Her parents? The school? Friends?

Those who tormented her also made choices and their contribution to this situation must be addressed. The girl's parents should be consulting with the school, with the parents of the bullies, and if need be, with legal authorities.

I heard of a girl from college got suspended or something here in Miami. They graduate but never means certain victory.

And that's relevant how?

Anyway, on the original topic...life isn't fair. That's how it is. However, I'm sure there's more to this story than anyone knows - or ever will.

My heart goes out to the family, not the girl. She was selfish.

Legal authority?
What's the charge?

The bullies can be expelled (atleast in Canada), but they're is no way to committed a crime.

I never got that, "Feel sorry for the girl/guy." Why? They knew what suicide meant and what they wanted, so they made their choice. It's an unfortunate choice but they made it.

It sucks for their parents, as said above. They didn't choose to lose a loved one, yet they will probably blame the bullies also.

its unfair, i feel bad, but spidergrl, your icon has forced me to disrespect u forever because william mosley is a priss wuss who sucks

sorry for the random thought

Any Murder of any kind isn't good.

Lifes not fair

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.

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.

How can somebody be so selfish by killing herself?

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
