Suicide attempts - cool or not cool?
 

This may be a ridiculous question. Still, what are people thinking. Let's have a discussion. Could there be a trend of some kind here?

what might be cool about an suicide attempt?

Uncool.
Especially if you fail.
Life ain't easy.
Deal with it.

I agree. Nothing cool about it.

I think you're a coward and see a psychiatrist for some meds first.depression or a chemical imbalance can be treated

I agree with you that they need to see a psychiatrist for some meds. It is a chemical imbalance that can be treated. Do you think I'm a coward? I never attempted suicide, though. I'm just talking about others.

Im medicated to fight my genious. My pills make me less sharp and sleepy.

No I mean people who would attempt or contemplate suicide are selfish cowards.you hurt the people you leave behind the most

nope nothing cool at all about it

lol Absolutely.

I think people who try to commit suicide are worthless piles of shit.

I've had 4 friends attempt suicide, and I've told them exactly what I think.

I've also had 2 friends who died of an accidental suicide, that is understandable.

1 suicide attempt = 100 points in emo land.

First, whats an accidental suicide?
Second, discussing these matters in here, is bound to get someone angry or upset.
Third, yes they may be cowards and life sux and shit, but theres way more to it then just that.

suicide isn't even something to joke about...

I once set a three year timeline for i was gonna kill myself if shit dident get better.. im still here so i guess things are better.

Ever seen the family of somebody who recently committed suicide? I have and that is in no way cool. I have been very low at times but the thought of what it would have done to my mother would be enough to make sure I never went that path.

No, suicide is not "cool". The culmination of untreated clinical depression is not a fashion accessory.

As for those who say it's "cowardly", you're all incredible imbeciles. People don't kill themselves because they're scared, they kill themselves because long-term depression can turn someone's life into a de facto hell.

Saying someone who attempts suicide is a coward is like telling an anorexia patient that she has bad taste in body types, a schizophrenic that he needs to learn to control himself, or an autist that he should work on his social skills.

It's funny, because that's exactly how the rest of the world feels about you now, and most of us would actually think better of you if you offed yourself.

if you're going to do something you should do it right.. i'd hope someone murdered me if i ever 'attempted' suicide and failed @ it.

There is no such thing as a suicide "attempt"..... it's pretty easy to die, either you do right or you are just looking for attention :2 cents:

People that talk about it alot probably won't do it.

Yeah..real depression is just beyond terrible to deal with on a day to day basis. It isn't something you can just snap out of without a lot of help. It also isn't the same thing as people just randomly saying 'oh, I am so depressed'.

when they fail, it's usually a call for attention.

Not cool at all. Life is not just milk and honey and we should do our best to go through it

Not cool. Not cool at all.

I give my opinion and I get attacked, only on GFY. If you don't like others opinions on this subject, where the OP asks for your opinion, then I suggest you just ignore the thread, because everyones got their own.

Did you attempt suicide or something? Because I assume you did by that response.

Not cool!!

Why would it be cool???

Actually, a rather close friend of mine committed suicide a while back, after battling depression for over a decade.

Had you made the "worthless piles of shit" remark in front of me, you'd be in the ER right now. As it stands, you're just on my permanent shitlist.

I dont believe that 'Attempted' suicides are in the least bit cool. They cause stress on the people around the attemptee and waste valuable time of emergency services and doctors etc...

HOWEVER:

I am also a FIRM believer that if you WISH TO END YOUR LIFE... You should have the right to do so...

/thread :thumbsup

Big fucking whoop, Like I said, I've had friends try to commit suicide, and a few have actually did it, doesn't change my mind.

Life is never so hard that you need to kill yourself, it's just a selfish way of trying to get out of your own problems by making bigger problems for the ones who care for you.

Punch me in the face, I'll still continue to view it the same way. Not my fault you're ignorant.

suicide = a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Exactly! Things always get better. You just have to give yourself enough time to allow it to happen.

Don't ever attempt to go into any sort of mental health support work.

I am thrilled that you have never been so low to be able to contemplate killing yourself. However, expecting anybody that has actually reached that level or mental anguish to take ridicule from you isn't being a friend. Tough love is one thing...continuing their mental beating is another. If you don't know what that sort of mental hell feels like than count your blessings.

I hope I could never kill myself..I am pretty sure I couldn't but you never know what will happen in your life and tip you into a horror of a mental place. Mind you, I am pretty sure if I didn't do it after my husband died I never will but I sure as hell went into an amazingly dark place and I would not have wanted friends to ridicule me for being in that space.

We had the grown (but still young) son of close friends of our family reach such a level of mental illness that he parked his car on the side of the road, stood in the middle of a busy road..crouched down like he was waiting to run a race and then wait for a tractor trailer to approach..then he ran towards it and got hit. This was after years and years and years of his parents trying to help him with real manic depression. Real depression like that is not something people can just snap out off to see the reason of not killing themselves.

That's a very stupid way to look at it. It's your life and you can do whatever you want with it. Why should i listen to anyone telling me how i can or can't live my life? Fuck off, mind your own lives.

It's not selfish to off yourself. It's selfish for people around you to want you to stay around.

Oh, and actually killing yourself takes the biggest balls. So there is nothing coward about it.

Boo fucking hoo, you ugly piece of shit.

"Waa! Waa! Someone offed himself and created a problem for me! What an asshole! How dare he make me feel uncomfortable! Me! Me! Me! Me!"

The only selfish fuck in this situation is you,because you don't give a shit about other people and respect their decisions.

I agree. Well said.

Oh yeah, those emos... lol :1orglaugh

Weird thing.. you know I met an emo chick once, and I asked her why she had scars on her arm and she told me "oh.. like 5 years ago when she was in high school in some European country it was considered cool to cut your wrists." Damn, that's not good. I felt sorry for her.
