I have contemplated it, but only for a second or two. I was not close to seriously doing it, but I thought about nonetheless. It was around the time of my Higher School Certificate and everyone was expecting me to achieve and make Uni, and I had done no work throughout the year.
Needless to say I was stressed at this time and two weeks prior to the exams I hardly left my room. I was studying non-stop, summarising work all day and reading all night. I think many times I thought about suicide and the fact that it might be 'easier' than what I was going through.
I realised though that is was only a chapter in my life, a short one at that. If I failed the exams people would be disappointed for a short time, but they would soon move on. I would find myself a suitable job and I would enjoy my life anyway. Some say suicide is a coward?s way out, they are right.
By the way, I passed
