I was going through the general discussion area and there was a thread on suicide. I posted there but what I put was something that I know that I want to remember, no matter how painful the memory is when I read it.

Here's the post:

Sometimes it is a waste when people commit suicide for they could've done so much in life and those that cared for them, that are still living, would be hurt. In the end though, it's really their choice to die or not. If the pain's to great on them that they can't even go through everyday life without suffering, I believe that they have a right to kill themselves, no matter how much anyone says otherwise.

You can never really answer this question easily because no one likes when others die (unless they hate them with a passion sweatdrop but even then you care because you take the time to hate them....). I was really depressed awhile back (started in grade 5 until just a few months ago...so I had it for about 6 years) and I've been near death a few times already because I attempted to commit suicide. I near jumped off my balcony and I overdosed on Tylenol (big bottle of extra strength) but in the end I stayed to live for my family. I won't ever try to again, because when I watched as my mother cried beside me while I was in the hospital, I decided I never wanted to see her like that ever again, atleast by my fault.

Yet if you think about it. In the end, we're all going to die.
