Question:
I've decided to end my life?

Know that there is no sadness in this act, I simply would rather not be here anymore. I've had a good run for my money. I'm only 16, but I have been given a dark gift. A mind that sees things the way they are. To me, the world simply isn't a very pleasant place. This is not so much an escape as it is a release. I am joyful that this is the end. One question remains however;

Why did I post this question?

Well to be honest, it's mainly to show you all that suicide can be a beautiful thing. I know that there is nothing after, but to me that is a comforting thought. I am merely turning out the lights, for my day is done.

I know lots of people have already said "don't do it". I also know that what a bunch of strangers says may not make a difference. But I have to join the chorus.



Please do not end your life.



I really wish I knew you. You sound like a very intriguing, insightful person. You have a lot to offer. Ending your life not only takes away any possibility you have of being happy, it also prevents the world from gaining from you and your perspectives. Just reading a few of the questions you've posted makes me feel like you're a friend. Simply knowing you're out there makes everything a little better. I know many people must care about you that way.



PLEASE do not end your life.



If you're willing, I'd love to talk to you: alex_russellfalla@yahoo.com or AIM name alexrussellfalla or gtalk ID readingwiz (we can voice chat). I'm 16 too.

If you were born to kill yourself why haven't you done it already. Think about it! If you don't like your life now, how was the rest of your 16 years or so. You obviously enjoyed those years. Why now?! I can tell already you have passion. The ways you write sounds just like a poet. I really almost cried from what you wrote. You need to write poetry! I would love to read your things you write. And im sure you write poetry. Also if you think that poetry is gay and i think that your are you are wrong.

You have no idea how many times i tried killing myself. I even came close to kicking the chair under my feet, but i just cried my freaking heart out. the reason was because of my family. Also because suicide is just the way a "*****" would go, i mean that i was to scared for the life ahead of me. Now look at me i am applyingfor 4 colleges, i scored a 23 on the ACT and im able to apply to any college in the state of Florida because i meet their ACT score limit. I am starting to understand life the way you should.

If the world to you seems to be an uunpleasantplace then make it a pleasant place to live in. And i know you may not want to see a Doctor about your thoughts, i never told anyone about mine, but it could be a back up idea ( i know its on my back up list).



I really hope this is not a sick joke just to see how many people would answer, that would be very immature and extremely messed up.



I really hope you choose the right dissision!

Stop, look and listen! Stop giving suicide so much power thinking it's the easy way out. It's not. What about your future. No one knows what their future is or even what is going to happen one minute from now! Life is full of temporary disappointments, anger periods and many different kinds of moods. You are in a depressed mood right now. There is help and you can feel better and back to normal if you give yourself a chance. Death is final. There's no turning back and it's the end of your life. You are only 16. This is a very difficult age because there are so many decisions ahead of you in your life that it can become overwhelming. The main thing is to give your life another try. Take one day at a time and one problem at a time. You are very depressed right now but think about if you got treatment - you'd be a brand new person because your life won't be so confusing. You won't get worn out on making decisions. I would go to the doctor and tell him everything and he'll probably prescribe an antidepressant for you. I take three of them and I wouldn't go a day without them. If you feel compelled to commit suicide at a certain moment, then go to the nearest ER and tell them you plan to end your life. If you use those words, you will be admitted to the hospital and within a week to ten days you'll be out of there feeling 100% better. You have these suicidal feelings because your brain is off balance and it needs medication to function again. Take an unbias look at yourself now and imagine in a couple of weeks wanting to get out of bed, shower and have a productive. Trust me, this is what will happen. You may want to make an appointment with a therapist if you have issues that you want to discuss with her/him. More importantly, however, you need to be on an antidepressant to get rid of the feelings you have now. God bless you.

Not everyone see's the world as a happy go lucky place. Truth is, if you think about the negative, you can sometimes live a better life than others! However, if you end your life, you will never know what the world has brought for you! If you end your life, you'll miss great opportunities that you could have done! That's why we die when we die, so that we live for everything we were supposed to live for. And as a human, you can never know when your time is, even if you think you know.



And also, the reason your still alive? Is because there are other people out there that need you specifically right now. If no one needed you, you'd be gone already. Maybe your not here for you. And that's why you don't yourself living a fun life. But because your alive now, it shows there are people out there that need you right now. If you end your life, your causing trauma in there's right now.



So think about that before you make these quick decisions my friend.

Luke, I'm not going to tell you to not end your life. It's your life and you can do with it what you please. I'm not going to insult your intelligence either by saying you can't or it's not right because after all you see things the way they are and you know what you can or can't do.



Take it from someone else though who is pretty intelligent and sees things as they really are (and if it throws in some weight - a fellow scot (so that mean's i'm right)) that things can and do get better. You go through some **** times in life but you get some great times as well. Why end the journey cause you got lost for a while?



If your going to end your only life you should know that it is probably your only life ever- forget about god and all that pish - this is it!! This is most likely the only shot you ever get to exist as anything more than matter. If things are that bad the way I see it is that you got 2 options.



1) the easy option - end your life



or



2) Think about not just your life now but your future life as well. I know you can't know for sure how thats going to play out but for most people things turn it pretty good. Talk to some people and fix your problems. I mean even if you have nothing to do but wake up and go to bed - is that not better than ending it all?



Nice quote but I prefer this one:

Dont do it..... When I was your age, sometimes I felt like ending it all. I was never considered to be good looking and didnt attract the girls that I wanted which was just one thing that made me feel negative.

Anyway, now Im 37 and have 3 wonderful children and a wife of 12 yrs who I really love and life is so good. Now when I look back, Im so bl00dy glad I stayed. Honestly, Life really is what you make it and if you were not meant to be here, you would be dead already, So chin up YOUNG lad and go and plan the rest of your life and enjoy as much as you can.

Maybe a psychiatrist can help you see things in a better light. It may just be a chemical thing in your brain that lets you perceive things this way. I understand your logic though: If you don't believe in an afterlife, then why endure so much pain? But what about this: If you can change the way you perceive things and make them more pleasant, than wouldn't life be worth living? You might as well give it a try. What do you have to lose? And wouldn't it be logical for life too exist? You make it sound like life isn't really worth living in the first place. But life happened in nature, so wouldn't it be logical for life to exist? I mean, why would nature create life, if there wasn't a reason for life to exist? So when you think about it, you're kinda going against nature.



Yeah, I'd definitely talk to someone first. They might be able to help you see things as more pleasant and see the good in things. The world doesn't exactly meet my standards either, instead of doing something drastic that you can't go back on, look for hope that things will get better. I think there are a lot of good things to look forward too. You just have to be patient and look for the pleasantness and focus on that.



It's mostly a matter of perspective and attitude. Some ppl can't just sit and wait for good to come to them; they have to find it for themselves -- and better yet, they can MAKE it for themselves. I believe that the positive energy and good things that ppl put out will come back to them. To put it another way if you believe that good exists; it will show you that it exists. And when you think about it, good can spread just like hate does; it just needs hope and faith in order to grow. As long as one has hope and faith, he or she can notice the good things and shake off the bad.



I'd like to hear opinion on this too, so let me know.

Alright well its prolly too late cause hell, no matter what anybody will say on the internet your still going to do it. But if you do, do it the right way. See, I tried before And My parents found me and got me to the hospital in enough time, unfortunatly. And hun, i know you see it as beatiful but do you relize who's son your taking away? brother? friend? grandchild?

Is it really worth ruining someone else's life? Just out of your own selfishness? I hope your happy because I'm 110% possitive that you really just ******* skrewd up.

ya dude the world and every one in it sucks and theres more coruption than anything making what we live in today pretty much hell. But If you feel theres nothing you want to do in life, nothing you wana see or accomplish, no one you'd miss, no one whod miss you, no negative outcomes to killing your self, then do it.



I get what your saying though, that because we live in this fucked up world suicide can be a beautiful thing because its putting your self in a better place or even in eternal rest.... your saying death is better than living on this fucked up world.



I would join you but I have goals for my future, family, friends, things i want to experience, things i wana do with my friends and a whole life ahead of me. Im just guna ignor the bad stuff and live my life.



if you really think about it, suicide should only be an option if you have nothing, when i say nothing i mean NOTHING.

you know what im sorry but you little kids with your attention ploys are starting to piss me off. if you really wanted to kill yourself, you would have already done it. and if you were really in the state of mind to actually be killing yourself you wouldnt care about anybody knowing. youre another teenager attention whore. if you were going to do it you should have just done it in silence. go quietly and humbly. but whatever you know there are people that would kill to have a shot at life. there are people dying to live. some people see life as a gift. i guess your just another ungrateful lil punk. go talk to your mommy tell her to get u help. this ploy is pitiful. i hope you read this and feel embarrassed for the low move you made just to get sum attention. and you already know its not the answer. i know how you feel ive been there and there is help out there. but i know that you really want to live just because you posted this thread. do sum serious thinking kid.

dude........why would you even post a question like this telling people that suicide is beautiful maybe it is to you but ending your life......................that's just not right we all get only one life and we should live it as best as we can we weren't made so we could have hate or depression we were made so we can enjoy being loved by others and living life to it's fullest. I'm not saying you should do this, but all im saying is that you shouldn't go around spreading dark thoughts like that it's just wrong

Death is not a beautiful thing when you are a child.. Don't be like that.. You have so much to live for.. Your first sexual experience, your first child, your first home, your first job.. There are so much you have yet to experience.. That is not a GIFT as you say.. That's how everyone feels, nobody sees living on this earth as rainbows and fukkin bunny rabbits.. You need to chill out, and NOT do anything irrational.. I beg of you to stop what you are doing, and just live your life!! Death is not a beautiful thing when you haven't been given the gift of life yet.. :(

don't kill yourself. i have been there i was very sick and still sick with Lyme's disease. to top it off my dad and i didn't get along. he didn't believe me. he was also having an affair. i kinda was on the brink of death and i wanted to end. i was deeply depressed. but after a long while i came out of it and i realised there was good in the world. o was aware of the bad things in the world very young. im only 13 now but i know whats its like. so you just have to remember theres bad in the world but also good to. if u want to talk email me.im not gonna post it now but if u want post it that u want my email.

Think of the effects that it would have on your family and friends. You say the world is an unpleasant place.Killing yourself would only make it worse for the people who care for you and love you. Do not do it.

oh please please dont! things dont have to be the way you see them, i have seen your other questions posted and know how you are feeling, but death is not and never is a way out!

i told you before that you are welcome to email me but now i urge you to do something more! act now, go to a hospital, or leave your house and run, empty your head of all thought, and breathe. think of everything you have not done yet. what about the people you are leaving behind?

you must call 999 or take yourself to a hospital or clinic or SOMEWHERE! just DONT END YOUR LIFE!

At your age you don't what life is yet. You have no clue as to whats out there. Once your 18 you'll find out how awesome life is. Personally i wouldn't miss out on the drinking, dancing and chasing after women.

You sound depressed. It's clinical, get help.



Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.



DON'T DO IT. You will think much differently later in life than you do at this stage in your life.

Exactly what is your dark gift.You are an idiot if you want to end your life when you are

just 16 yrs old.You have not experienced life yet.It makes no difference to me as people

die every day but a 16 yr old commiting suicide is just silly.Go to bed and think it through

first before you do something that will ruin you life forever.How will your family feel.

tell your parents how you feel. go dancing. teach yourself latin.. you consider yourself to not be moving in any direction now, so, what is there to lose? you need to challenge yourself in order to grow.. let life be your teacher and be responsible for yourself instead of treating everything as a personal offense.. im sure youve met many bullies who are like this that lash out at other people.. well, youre lashing out at yourself in the same way.. at your self-assurance, your confidence.. life has an infinite capacity if youd just take a brave step out of what everyone around you is telling you life is about and think for yourself..



though noone likes to admit it, everyone has to deal with this everyday of their lives.. you are not alone, but until you stop clinging and try to go outside your comfort zone, youll never learn to experience life how you want to, to learn how to cope with all the BS gradually instead of seeing everything as black/white.. noone can tell you how to do this, it just comes with time..



maybe you just need to stay away from the superficious, boring people you meet in school and start your own life.. until i left home i felt the exact same way you did, i tried and failed to kill myself and im glad i made it through to experience, how my 'dark gift' has made me such a strong and considerate person, where i accept so much in my life that my mind is 'silent' :) my ideas on 'life and death are give or take' are still there, but i accept it now instead of feeling the need to constantly fight.. i am capable of being merciful with my life and so are you..



seriously, there are so many people who have gone through this with the same reasoning and came out with so much beauty and grace.. death isnt the only beautiful thing on this earth.. the silence you crave is inside you, and inside everyone.. the idea that it is in death is just you jumping to conclusions you barely understand, rather then it being something inevitable.. everyone in their youth takes the world around them as literal.. the only thing stopping you is all the crap wrapped around your self-awareness, and it is obviously not for you to pretend that it is apart of your being... youre unique, you see there is more to life then everyone else but youre rejecting negativity so strongly youve lost all confidence you can make a life for yourself, to be your true self.. seriously, you will *not* always go through life with that constant noisy buzz in your mind (im 20 btw)..

I dont for one moment believe you to be true, but, on the other hand, stop thinking of yourself you selfish jerk, think of your family and real friends, think how they would feel! Do you know what it feels like to come home and find your best friend hanging from a rope? If you are deadly serious and have no soul or compassion you would probably be better off dead! If you do think about your question and look for its flaws

are u serious? suicide is a mortal sin.. don't do it! ur soul will go to hell. Just pray.. do something productive.. or help others.. helping others and seeing them happy because of your help will make your heart happy. You have to love yourself. You are too young to die. Don't do it!



Jesus loves us that's why he saved us from our sins. Watch "Passion of Christ".. if u don't want to then watch something funny that will cheer u up.



all u need is a hug of a mother. May Mama Mary bless, hug you and pour you love.

guys,



were all going to tell him not to kill himself, when in reality, he posted this for two reasons.



1) He's a dumbass who's not going to kill himself, he just wants attention.



2) He's going to kill himself, there's nothing we can do about that.
