---Suicide is NOT the cowards way out. If you commit suicide it doesn't mean that you are a weak or bad person. Everybody encounters problems during their lives that may make their lives hard. But it's not how bad these problems are that matters, it's how the individual knows to handle these problems. Some people can't see a way out other than suicide but that doesn't, in any way, make them a weak or lesser person. It only shows that they haven't been taught how to handle their problems in any better way. And that is not their fault.

---Never ignore somebody if they start to talk about ending their life. Most of the time it is NOT for attention. Most of the time it is a cry for help. They are asking for somebody to show that they care. They aren't doing it to be called a poser or stupid or an attention-seeker or any other shit like that. They're saying it because they actually DO want to end it...they do actually feel the need to die. And if you just ignore them, how are you going to feel when you find out that they're dead? Think about it...just try to help the individual as much as you can.

---Suicide is NOT a selfish act. You all say that they're leaving their loved ones behind and hurting them, but that really only makes you selfish. How can you expect this person to continue living through all the pain that their life is giving them? To go through the feeling of being invisible, like they have no one to confide in? To go through feeling like everybody that once loved them has now abandoned them? And to go through feeling that everyday the walls are closing in on them and that everyday they are sinking further and further into despair? Into loneliness and heartache? How on earth can you expect someone to live with that all the time, just to keep everybody else happy? It's not like it's their duty to make everyone happy. So stop being selfish yourself and think of the individual for once.

---Don't think that suicidal people don't care about you. One of the common reasons for suicide is that the individual doesn't want to hurt their loved ones anymore. And though they know that suicide may hurt their loved ones, it stops the individual from ever hurting them again. Better once than a million more times. And deep down inside, the individual probably does know that people do care, but they just can't believe that when they're feeling so down and out. It's just hard to think that people care about you when you feel that they never seem to show it and they never seem to be there when you need them most.

---If you are someone who believes in fate and God and you believe that everybody has a particular time to die made for them, then you should also believe, as sad and horrible as it may be, that suicide is meant to happen. Perhaps the individual is actually MEANT to die at this time and it just so happens that suicide is the way they die?
I really don't know...I'm just putting down my opinion. I hope it helps at least one person out there.

---This definition wasn't intended to encourage people to commit suicide, I am merely hoping that it will help everybody else to understand a bit more about suicide and why people commit it.
Commiting suicide does not make you weak. Or selfish.

Someone who wishes they were dead.
Suicidal feelings are common and can last for any amount of time, and vary from mild to extreme.
Suicide attempts may or may not be actually carried out by someone who is suicidal.
Mildly Suicidal:
Person 1: I just got an F on my math test and my girlfriend dumped me. My life sucks. I want to die.
Person 2: OMG don't kill yourself!
Person 1: What?! I would never kill myself.

Extremely Suicidal:
Person 1: There is nothing in my life that is good anymore. Everything makes me sad. I haven't been happy in such a long time. I don't even want anything out of life anymore. I'm going to kill myself.
Person 2: Nooo!

Suicide
Suicide is a way to get away from the pain and suffer. It's the way to make you and everyone else "feel better". It actually don't. Take it from me... I almost killed myself, and my best friend did kill themselves. I've been depressed for 8 years now, and every year keeps getting worse for me. ( Have talked to some one before). If you ever need someone to talk to you can reach me at rachaelw3959@gmail.com I'll be here for you no matter what, and I will also never tell. I can keep it to myself.

an act of taking your own life, usually conceived through extreme emotional distress. Most people call people who act on their decision cowards looking for the easy way out while it is just the opposite, these people who have gone through so much in life they are willing to throw it all away in hope of ending their suffering, which when i thought of it took the most courageous act of ending their lives. While most look down on younger people who go through with this act, while the people who should be looked down on are the people who caused such emotional trauma to the person.
Suicide is a very complex thing that should not be used until all other means of improving your life have been used.

Lethal self destruction. It is not selfish by default--it is more selfish of those who demand you to stay. It is not necessarily a reaction to a temporary problem--some problems are permanent as well. Its not the only solution to most problems, but it is a potential solution to any problem. Choose with caution. And to all those self-righteous pissants who want to pat themselves on the back for condescending to spit a little pity at someone in hell via cliche judgments and over used sayings... don't condemn what you don't comprehend.
Me. Sometime suicide is the only answer after decades of decline and pain. Sometimes it doesnt get better.

Someone who is suicidal,isn't selfish and it's a very stupid and common name for people who are. It's not that the person is being selfish...it's not that at all they want to be happy they want to look on the bright side of life,but it's extremely difficult when there is so much going on in their life,if you were to be suicidal you would be doubtful about your own life questioning whether or not you should be living on this earth and if you were to commit suicide it's not "The Cowards Way Out" people commit suicid because they want to leave the "Hell Hole" they are living in its thoughtful that people try to help suicidal people but sometimes they can't be help and if they feel they don't want to suffer any more don't try and make them stay because they make you happy because it's not their job to keep you happy 24/7 because you can't handle the truth of reality.they should not have to be in a living hell because you.and if someone does commit suicide in their minds they are going somewhere better than here.So LET THEM BE!! please
