Young people think twice before you decide to harm yourself because your life is worth more?

That's not a question. And no, you don't know me or what my life is worth, as far as I'm concerned, human life is worth squat.

You will ask other people's opinions before doing anything, ultimately putting off decision making. If you make a bad decision, you will say it was meant to be.

You know, I'm myself have done this a time or two now that you've made me think about it.  Its wrong and I should stop doing it. I just get so frusterated as people ignorance sometimes that it leaks out.  I'll try to be more aware of it.  Thank you for your question, its made me think about myself and how I can be a better person.  \n\n*hugs*

I think it's evidence of the ridiculousness of our society today. People need to wait until they're not only physically, but mentally and emotionally mature to be making decisions like that.

It is a strange thought, the idea that people only ever know 1/2 of what they should, it means that all things are only ever half done, it makes you wonder when you go flying etc.\n\nBUT i think that this is  only true of SOME people, i choose to do what i am doing now, i have no parents pressuring me.\n\nIt makes you think about the boundaries of being  "good" parent.\n\nVery deep.

I think that you should stop them before they get seriously hurt. They can work it out by talking it over.

People are against suicide because it makes them feel bad. They selfishly think of themselves and how bad they will feel about it instead of thinking about ending the suffering of a loved one.

I try to reach their humanity or the oppositte side of their brain...here is what I mean....they are probably angry and enraged and aggitated to reach this current state... I tell them I understand their being upset however, what they are about to do will only make it worse and will magnify the problem ruining 2 lives in just a moment. I try to connect with their reasoning, that all though it seems like lashing out feels good ...nothing good will ever become of it.....and this act...They will spend the rest of their life regretting....You have a choice...Make the right choice now....

I went through the same thing, it seems to be a semi-popular trend among teenage girls of this current generation. I helped my ex-girlfriend through her teen years, It was very difficult for me to convince her that she shouldn't kill herself. At one point one of her classmates found out she was cutting herself and she went to the mental hospital. There she learned new ways to hurt herself, how to hide it, how to poison herself. She started doing drugs and cutting herself even more, just to prove a point. While in the Mental Hospital she cut "Sl*T" over and over again onto her chest, covering her entire chest. Only by giving up all of my friends, giving up on my own highschool career and spending almost all my time with her, was I able to convince her that there was more in life.\n\nThat was three years ago, about a year ago she started to feel better and better about herself. She got rid of her old friends(who also are cutters, but good people too) and started hanging around with some spoiled preppy kids. She left me to date some rich brat, but I am just happy that I saved her life.\n\nThe problem comes down to the glorification that a sub-culture that exists places on it. There are websites dedicated to the "Beauty" of cutting and anorexia. This is what influenced my Ex to stop eating and start hurting herself. It destroyed my own life, but thats what friends do.\n\nI would say that the best thing you can do is stand by her side, no matter what happens. Try to help her realize that she is simply taking out her anger on herself instead of on the ones that hurt her. You should also try to get her away from that distructive enviorment as much as you can.\n\nI am suprised at how common and Idenical this problem is, girls who have abusive(verbally or otherwise) family members and are depressed seem to think that cutting themselves will help. I understand the ideas behind it, if I do this to myself it makes them even worse of a person for what they did.\n\nIt is a long and difficult path your friend has ahead of her, and if you choose to help her, it will be difficult for you as well. The only thing I can say is, no matter how much she doubts it, things always get better, its just the truth.

You're getting into some pretty deep issues here. \n\nFirst off, people who need to justify and affirm their own value need to lower the value of others by doing what you're talking about.  This gets into some pretty deep biology and psychology.  Since humans are social animals there is always a social heirarchy.  When someone is at the bottom or middle and wants to move up, this is one of the ways they can feel a little movement.  Immature people will also do this in retaliation to an attack on them by another immature person.  It just turns out to be a self licking ice cream cone.  \n\nI used to think that I had to respond to everything in my honor.  Now, by letting things roll off my back and exercising my personal boundaries, I live a life with a lot less stress or anxiety.  Life is great!

I am asked this question often because my life has been filled with pain and sorrow, sickness, accidents, violence from others, loss of loved ones, and enough sadness to fill half a dozen peoples lives in sorrow.\n\nBut, I always answer, yes, yes yes.... I would do the whole thing over if I had to. \n\nAnd here's why:\n\nIf I were to change one second of my life, that very second could be the one that affected someone very special in my heart.\n\nIt could be the very second that affected someone I have merely brushed beside as well. Like the child I snatched up and stopped from choking on a boiled sweet, back in 1966, when her mum panicked in a bus terminal and I was the only one on hand, just another young mum of twenty-one with three children of her own. (Five by the time I was twenty-four) \n\nNo one else knew I saved that child, but if I wasn't me, I couldn't have done it. And there have been other similar incidents throughout my life. \n\nSo if I changed my life, made it 'better' for myself, then either something that I did, or refrained from doing, would not have been done, or refrained from by someone else, and could be detrimental now, to another's life. \n\nWe cannot change what has been, just because of our personal sorrows, we must not wish to change what was, even if we could, or we could destroy someone else's tomorrows. \n\nAll of us have small experiences, and some big ones as well, that have touched the lives of others, even you are special in this way. Just think, who might just be very disadvantaged now, if you were not the very person, with the very life you live, that you are today? \n\nAnd despite our frequent ups and downs, I wouldn't change a thing anyway, because my children wouldn't be the people that they are. \n\nYes, my idea of who and what, and how my childen should be, might be right for me, but completely wrong for them. so I  wouldn't change a thing. Even if I moan and offer unwanted advice, more often than I should:-(\n\nI've learned long ago to accept the person that I am and the deck God dealt me, since I consider life to be a training ground, for something far, far better. \n\nAnd I wouldn't even change the fact that I have daily pain from arthritis, because through it, I have learned to understand people who suffer more.

;when people commit suicide its like their brains quit working and they aren't really thinking thru things if anything if they were thinking and they believed in God then they would not do it because if God wanted them he would take them but they are doing it themselves.  Suicide might not hurt the person that is doing it but it will destroy a family of that victim

NOPE..\nmorever it depends on your thinking.. people sometimes commit heinous crimes and inside their mind justify the act and never blame there self or conciousness.\nand there are some people who have made a small mistake spend their entire life worrying and fretting..\n\ni don't think that i have committed any serious mistake which has greatly hurt some one.. \namends can be made for all mistakes except rape and murder which are irreversible..

some people are selfish and do not worry about others. they are only worried about advancing themselves in life.
