How do you guys feel about people that commit suicide?

[Layla Hunnam]

I wish they had decided not to take their lives...

 

[Krispy]

Anyone who commits suicide is weak and deserves no sympathy from me

People act like people living in third world countries can't have mental illness either, or that they can't commit suicide. It's all relative. You are comparing physical ailments such as disabilities, starvation, etc. to someone living in hell in their head. Everyone has their own version of hell, we're all human and we all deal with things differently. Some people don't have the same will power and fight in you that you do, that's just how it is. Most people contemplating suicide don't tell anybody, they keep that shyt to themselves because they feel ashamed probably for the same reasons you stated above.

Of course people in 3rd world countries commit suicide but not on the same scale as here.
The only time i wouldn't judge someone is if they're mentally ill and i'm talking real mental illness like schizophrenia.
You said some people don't have the same will power and fight so would it not be fair to call these people weak.

Cause lord knows i can't see how breaking up with your gf, getting fired, being broke, family dying

can compare to waking up like this everyday

whatever mental hell you're going through can be changed but this right here is PERMANENT.

You're underestimating how much your mind can fukk with you.

I do not pity people who successfully kill themselves. They wanted to opt out. They opted out. End of story. *shrug*
Maybe they'll get reincarnated as a happier life form. Probably a lower life form, doe. >:-}

i could see why people do it. most of us are normal but there are legit born idiots and sighcoes out there. i dont think anyone hasnt been down and out before and thought about it. i have thought about it but never even came close because i have too much to live for and it would be stupid. people who kill themselves infront of people are the worst though...thanks for leaving that on my mind forever pal.

 

[Seea]

It depends on the person. I don't view all the same way.

 

[⠀⠀⠀]

fukk anybody who kills themselves.

they deserve to have their graves pissed on.

i don't care if you got a terminal disease or not. go out fighting like a fukking champ.

life is a gift and a curse but it's all we've got
what could drive someone to commit suicide that cannot be addressed/healed/counter-fought
the pain they leave the people who love them to deal with is unjustified even if the act is justified in their eyes
why have empathy for people who fail to show empathy themselves

 

[HiphopRelated]

Had one friend who committed that.....shyt just got to a point for him where life kicked him down one time too many. I'll never take death comments as "just joking" from then.

 

[Rawtid]

Nah man, I've been stuck out with no where to stay with no money and nothing going on and I came back from that. I done had to deal with a alot a real shyt when I was in my early 20s

I got no love for people who give up in general and suicide is the ultimate give up.

Some cases are a lil more understandable than others but its never justified and I just don't really feel bad for them... I'm just kind of numb to peope who do that

A bad situation doesn't automatically equate to suicide. Hell there are musicians who killed themselves at the peak of their careers.

Mental disorders are real and affect everyone differently. It's not about the situation you're in but more like how your brain is processing that situation. So if someone feels that killing themselves was the best thing, I can't knock them.

Weak individuals, look at how many people live of rubbish in 3rd world countries or people that are born with extreme disabilities.

If these types of people have the will and motivation to keep on living what excuse do you have.

It's scary how soft people have become especially in the west.

People commit suicide in 3rd World countries too but what's much more important is that people in 3rd World countries (but also, say, in Southern European countries) have larger and stronger "support" groups: extended families, neighbours you actually hang out with, etc. That goes a very long way in helping people cope with whatever situation they're going thru. It also "helps" that in those countries, almost EVERYONE is struggling, so your struggles appear "normal" to you. Unlike you feeling like a bum because all your school friends have great jobs, cars and houses and you're unemployed. If everyone's unemployed, it stings "less".

Truth. People are too quick to say "s/he's weak" but have no idea what issues that person is going through. Mental illness or not, not being "well" in you mental is hell. It's not like a physical aiment or financial issues or whatever. the mind is what helps you cope with all those other issues, what you gonna do when it doens't work with you

This is pretty much saying "you have it bad but look at them over there, they have it worse!". It's like and? Their pain and the other person's pain might not be the same but it's their own personal pain that they have to deal with daily.

 

[Cee2]

Everyone has to deal with personal pain what makes their pain any worse than what all people have to go through.

Somehow suicide has become acceptable nowadays and people tend to sympathize with them as the poll results show, making it easier to take that final step.

If you had a depressed friend would you also tell them suicide was acceptable if they asked you. Nah fukk that i'm making sure i tell em it's not acceptable and that i will do everything in my power to make sure they're happy to continue with the struggle that life is.
