[QUOTE="mrbojangles25"] Even if you were raped by your dad, then he kills your mom, your sister, and himself, I dont think that is a big enough of a problem to kill yourself.
Honestly the only reason to kill yourself is if you are dying and are in extreme pain.
Suicide is, in many cases, extremely selfish. I know people that have killed themselves, and when I saw the looks on their parents' and siblings' faces, I couldnt help but be pissed. They did it over stupid, stupid reasons and if they had simply taken ten seconds to breath, shake their head and clear their thoughts, they would still be here.
And as for chemical imbalances, thats bull. Ya, very few people do indeed have legitimate psychological issues, but the majority are simply weak-willed or compulsive. Weak willed in that they think their problem is so great they just give up. Compulsive in that they act before thinking.

Suicide is not selfish in the mindset of a suicidal. When a person is suicidal, they believe that they're doing people a favor, since his/her life is a hindrance or does not significantly alter the world and/or the community he/she lives in.
They can also be selfish in the fact that they *want* their friends and families to cry. If they're rejected so much, then a corpse, when they are all gathered, may give him more attention. Sure, since the person is dead, they won't receive it, but most don't think about that, and it's human nature to want acceptance, and fear rejection (remember the first time you ever asked a girl out, and you'll know what I mean(what if she says "no"))
Conclusively, I advise you to watch what you say in the forum. There is a chance a suicidal person is reading this forum, and your comment may encourage, rather than discourage, their mindset.
First, let me apologize for my tone. I did not mean to come off so cold-hearted. I can sympathize, if not empathize, with people pondering suicide and even those that follow through with such a tragic, stupid decision.
But therein lies the difference: we all consider it, but the majority of us fight, hang on, and come to other alternatives. I had a trough childhood, ok? Suicide entered my thoughts frequently. I was believed to be mentally challenged until I was 12; I was bullied by everyone for being fat; my mom didnt understand me and it was a source of emotional and even physical conflict; etc, etc. I even went so far as to start to cut my wrist once, but reconsidered in enough time so I didnt hit an artery.
With that said, rarely are selfish people aware of their own selfishness. Why? Because if a suicidal person actually took a second to think about other people, and not themselves, they just might see that their death would have a devastating impact on those around them.
And like I admitted earlier, yes, I am sure a solid percentage have undiagnosed or diagnosed mental conditions, but for those without them its still a stupid, selfish decision.
PS I am not passing judgement on those that kill th emselves: I am not going to sit here and tell you theyre in hell, nor are they bad people. I am merely commenting on the act of suicide.
