View Full Version : Is it alright to commit suicide?

Do you think it's ok or wrong for people to commit suicide? Why? Is it ok in some circumstances but not others? When is it ok or not ok? Why is it ok or not ok? Who's allowed to do it and who's not? ...And so on...
I'm not 100% sure, But in some circumstances, Yes!
If life becomes unbearable and the pain that you suffer becomes more than anyone can possibly bear, then maybe death will bring the only peace and end the suffering, that your experiencing.
So in the case of Terminally ill patients, yes!
But some other cultures seem to think its ok for other reasons too.
Such as suicide bombers and people who simply dont try and make things better for themelves, never!
Your opinion?

I think suicide generally is a wussy way out.
In the case of terminally ill, in serious pain, then its merciful to die. So i dont mind.
But those people who think their life is so unbearable for reasons like some guy/girl doesnt fancy them, i think its pathetic. There are so many people robbed of their life every day. That these suicidal people cant appreciate how important life is, when people would give anything to stay alive is sad.
People go through bad phases all the time, ive been going through mine for the last year with serious health problems, and i havent considered suicide once. Im not calling myself a hero, i just think my problems are as bad as anyone elses. And if i can stick it out, why cant they.

I think its wrong,and i know how it feels when someone does it.It hurts for the people around him/her.
People who commit suicide are selfish chickens running away from reality.

If you've got absolutely no close friends or family then yeah, I suppose, or if you're paralysed and shit. Heard bout someone who commited sucide because she had a kid and realised she couldnt afford it, struggled for money and stuff....commited sucide. That for me, is shocking.

I agree. I wouldn't judge someone for their personal choices.
In some cases it's just attention, eg sick of being ignored and wanted to make sure people noticed them, even if it meant killing themselves over it. It's been known to be done. A friend of mine tried it a while ago.
However, sometimes I think it can just be the right thing for the individual to do. If they're in so much pain [terminally ill, etc] then fair enough. It's understandable. If a person finds their life so unbearable, then why not exercise the right to end it, it's their right at the end of the day really isn't it.
I don't think anyone can really say if it's "right" or "wrong" to kill oneself, but I think it's up the person in question. TBH it would take a lot of guts to do it anyway, obviously someone who genuinely feels it's their only way out must have a pretty fucked up life. It's sad but unfortunately a lot of people feel it's all they have left. It can be seen as selfish and cruel to people around you who love you etc so I understand why people would criticise those considering doing it or those who have.. but as I said it's a personal choice and there's nothing really we can do about it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with suicide. If the person is that desperate enough, and they have no reason to live, then it can be the only way out. I have talked some people out of suicide though, because they were my friends and it really wasn't that bad.

I do not believe that suicide is the way out for anything. It's not part of my morals. I think there is always some sort of way that you can find help, and seek others if that be the case. People in my opinion need to wake up and see that there are somethings that make a life worth living for. Yes, you may not have it at that exact moment in time, but if you wait lond enough it will come to you. Some people pray, some people drink, others depend on friends and family. It all happens to be who you are. Killing yourself isn't worth anything.

Granted, I'd rather people looked for a better option, but sometimes, there isn't one.
I can understand that life is hard, and for some people, it's just too much to deal with.
People who claim people who commit suicide are "selfish" annoy the hell out of me.
Is it not "selfish" of someone, to pressure someone into carrying on a life they feel is un-bearable.
Is it not selfish to make that person continue suffering, because you don't want to?

For me, it's not okay to commit suicide. Why? Simply because of this: People think that dying is the best way out. That's just so stupid. Even if you have lots of problems in life, you shouldn't think of killing yourself. I mean, for example: Your car got broken; you've got an F; your father went home drunk again and starts hurting your mother; your brother's out late staying in that stupid bar; your girlfriend just broke up with you and starts to "show-off" and so on and so forth...until you realize you can't take in any longer. You want to kill yourself. You're reaching for that knife... raising it upon your chest and -- WAIT! Think it over, please! There's always a solution to a problem, and suicide isn't one of those choices!
I mean that broken car of yours, you can fix it! You've got an F? Study harder and don't take the grading personally! Your father comes home drunk and starts to hurt Mom? Find the best time to speak to BOTH of them and sort things out. Your brother's gone to that bar again and starts to neglect his studies? Be there for him and talk to him. Your girlfriend doesn't seem to notice that she's hurting you by doing what she did? Tell her what you're feeling about what she's doing. See? Suicide isn't nessecary to get out of a bad situation.
About the terminally ill patients being killed to end their sufferings (Euthanasia)? That's bad. A person has every right to live, so the doctor must do his/her best to keep the patient alive. If it's someone you know, do your part in helping him/her get well.

Exactly. Plus, not everyone has friends that they can go to for help. Some people are completely alone with their problems, and the government is generally crap at helping.

I'm all for suicide. If someone wants to kill themselves, then go right ahead. As far as I'm concerned, if they see no way out of their current situation, then that's their own damn fault. The only exception is for people who have kids. That I'm very strongly against.

If their situation really is bad and the suicide has been thought out instead of being spur of the moment, and they are not going to have a strong negative effective on the immediate community they leave behind; then I view it is fine.

I said a strong effect, the judge is what you consider to be "strong" affect. Someone killing themselves at a school is doubtless going to upset a lot of people, but whether it is strong or not is debatable, as he does not have to look after anyone such as his children.

Obviously, for someone to even contemplate killing themselves, their mind isn't in a healthy state.
That's like saying people who have eating disorders are to blame for the disorders.

On the eating disorder part:
-A person starts making themselves vomit
-They start to do this frequently enough that it becomes an eating disorder
-They made themselves bulimic. It's their fault. Ta-dah.
The same way it's a person's fault if they're a cutter, or if they're a druggie, or an alcoholic. Something they did made them become that.

A lot of people need to calm down with trivial issues....annoys me when teenagers commit sucide because there girlfirend left them, Oh grow up, everybody gets dumped, yeah it hurts but what good will killing your self do, if you loved her would you make her suffer that much with guilt that she carries your death on her shoulders. Parents spliting up, look at the amount of people that's parents are divorced, if they can deal with it why cant you, failing in school....dont even get me started, not end of the world is it! If your going through all three things that isnt good enough. People need to realise that in pretty much any situation you can find happiness, and with a bit of work you can sort situations out. Its a lazy, cowardly way out. Its passing your problems on to others. Its only going to make more people suffer. Everyone has problems, some people have more than others. Sucide is the easy way out...however in certain situations I have more sympothy. I just cant stand it when people commit sucide for trivial reasons that really, can be resolved with a tiny bit of effort. Teenagers commiting sucide annoys me.

I can't see how anyone who was thinking straight would do such a thing.
As I said earlier though, I don't think anyone who is unable to think logically is to blame for that.
Also, there are REASONS people try to lose weight.
They don't just decide to do it, they do it for reasons.
I still believe people who have eating disorders aren't thinking straight, else they wouldn't force themselves to be sick/not eat.
And no, It's not always the alcoholic/druggie/cutter's fault.

I really don't understand that.Eating disorders are choices. They're not like schizophrenia, where one's mental state is uncontrollable, thus, not their fault.
However, people with eating disorders are completely aware of what they're doing and are making the conscious decision to continue, thus, it's entirely their fault. There's no mental instability in eating disorders.

Right. And that's why generally when people 'get help' they usually see a cousellor, or someone who helps deal with problems.
Because the reasons are usually from deeper issues; it's not something you can just turn on or off.
It depends on the reasoning, not just whether or not you did it.
But why, also.
And usually other people are involved in your reasoning of why.

I don't 'trust' anyone on the internet.Then trust logic. Tell me, what makes an eating disorder so difficult to overcome? Not the thinking that leads to it, the eating disorder itself.
And yes, okay, but that's YOUR way of thinking, not everyong will think in the same way as you or share your opinion.I know it is, but it should be everyone's. That's the problem with society today: We don't take responsibility for our own goddamn actions. Are you really telling me that it's better to blame one's decisions on others than say, "Oh, well, that was stupid of me. I sure as hell won't do that again."

How am I being ignorant to peoples' reasons for wanting to kill themselves?
Exactly, you don't know everyone's situation, so to say that no-one has reason to, is ignorant.
Yes, it IS the thought behind it. Because if that thought continues with you, there's nothing to stop you going down the same path again.
I never said that it was better, I'm saying that's the reason people do things, and the reasons they become unclear of the right way to think.
I'm not saying it's better, not at all.

I dont know why ya'll would want to committ suicide..let alone think that it is ok. First of all its a sin... Tho shall not kill" part of the ten commandments.. if you believe in god that is. Second of all.... look at jammies post.... theres always going to be something down the road that makes life worth living for... shes right you may not have it now... but hell... be patient ... those things take time....you cant have your cake and eat it to.. so people may say... another idea. talk to someone who will be able to help you.. committing suicide is a mental factor.. mostly because someone thinks they are not good enough (when they are), or they are in a deep depressionn (they make medicine for that), or something tragic has happened and they dont know how to deal with it (also a mental factor) so they kill them selfs..dont ya"ll think there is something wrong with that picture? Hello, wake up hun!

Someone who's in their teenage years who commits suicide automatically annoys you, even if you don't know their full reasoning behind doing so?
Most teenagers commit sucide for trivial reasons...like I said people that commit suicide for trivial reasons annoy me.

O god....look do you want to debate about sucide or just quote every single one of my posts and try to argue with them, regardless of what I say. I think most teenagers can resolve there problems with a bit of effort. Sucide is the easy way out. How are yopu argueing that sucide is ok, I believe that even when your down in the dumps and you feel you have the weight of the world in your shoulders you can find happiness. Especially people from places like Britain and America...who have opportunities, regardless of what happens to them, should realise that they can turn there life round dispite what happens...commiting sucide will achive what?

Do you think anyone has reason to commit suicide?
You said no.
Yes, because you have self control, and think logically, obviously. But you are not everyone.
Yes, and I still believe that.

I've done 3 post's you've quoted them all and disagreed with them, you having a debate is just argueing with everyone and everything. Only way you cant turn your life around is if your in prison for life, which then yes ok sucide is an option, other than that of course you can, and whats turning your life around, lifes just a series of moments, make the most out of every moment regardless of what happened in the past - move on....

One thing I've come to realize is that suicide, in the end, is one of the most selfish things you can do to yourself. The idea is that you spare yourself the pain — or the monotony — of going on living. In doing so, though, you make life hell on earth for everyone you knew. And you can scar them for life, easily. They'll sit around wondering where it went wrong, what they could have done, if they could have done anything, etc. etc. Really, if you need an escape, or a change, there are much better, more constructive ways of going about it than taking the leap into the dark recesses of death.

You entirely missed my point. Someone who cared for you wouldn't just stand by and watch you deteriorate in your despair. They would help, but often those closest to someone have no idea what is going on. If all anybody sees is your facade of a perfect life, and a week later, they find you hanging in your closet, what are they going to think? That it was horrible of you to leave them? No, they will, as I've already stated, "sit around wondering where it went wrong, what they could have done, if they could have done anything, etc. etc."
Why burden your family and friends with such thoughts for the rest of their lives? Instead of easily receiving their help and correcting the calamity you were experiencing, you chose the easy way out. You gave up; All you thought of was yourself, and you ignored any chances of hope or improvement. That is selfish.

I disagree.
Someone who's thought of killing themselves, obviously isn't thinking clearly.
Some people feel they can't talk to their families, that their families can't help, or wouldn't care.
Others feel that they don't want give their families more problems to deal with, sometimes it's just easier to let people think everything is okay.
Is that selfish? To keep all your problems bottled up, for fear of making your family un-happy if you told them everything you felt?
