Why do some people on here ask questions about suicide?

Maybe if more people took the time to 'listen' to these 'suicide' conversations there wouldn't be the need to write about them!....Just food for thought.

yup, people tend to do that... I just hope people use their good judgement to distinguish the right ones from those that are unintentionally destructive answers.\n\nserious questions are asked in the hope that experts on that field are online to shed some light.  But we can never be too sure.

Doesn't a failed suicide call for an arrest? Whatever the case, it's wrong. You don't punish persons who're depressed and want to die. You get them help. On the otherhand, if a failed suicide isn't suicide why is this illegal in some countries? It makes little sense.

Some questions have been posted just to be funny. The world can always use some fun. Life can be far too serious. \n\nOther questions can be poorly written, but seem to present an honest concern.\n\nI'll answer anything that I have decent response for.  Some funny, some serious.

Because too many people take things too personally! They think these questions or comments are being directed to themselves for real and feel the need to defend. The truth is they are actually defending themselves TO themselves. Everyone here is just a mirror for the inner conflict that occurs.

;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

Some people feel so hopeless that they feel it is better to be gone than to have to face their problems.  For them, their problems are over and they no longer have to deal with them.  For the people around them, yes, they will have to deal with it but the person that commits suicide is beyond being concerned about that both before and after the suicide.

People ask in forums like this for 2 reasons \n1. Because they are unsure of there own beliefs and want someone else to clear up there doubts\n2. Because they don't want to be looked down upon for asking and then confirming there doubts when they know they should have no doubts to begin with

Some people are here to entertain themselves. Some people are in it for the points, I guess. (Why else would someone answer "I don't know"?) Maybe one of your questions will get picked as a featured question. Then you will get more thoughtful answers. In the meantime, share your own knowledge and help to enhance the intellectual level of this site!

I was thinking the same thing. Probably because they think it is funny, or want to see if there are people out there who take their sick stuff seriously. \nI believe most of those questions are in violition with the guidelines. A solution might be to report a question like that and if Yahoo feels the question is indeed violating their guidelines, the question will be removed. If pple do continue to ask those kind of questions, their id can be removed too by yahoo.\nTiff

Maybe you can check into the new information that suicide attempts are actually caused by illness.  There was a report in the science news that it is actually a chemical imbalance that causes a person to want to kill themselves. You could research that as opposed to people thinking it is a moral issue and that people are being selfish by killing themselves.  Speaking from experience..  I had a suicide attempt from being very depressed from unrelived chronic pain and depression caused from that.  It was not due to selfishness.  I just wanted out of the pain and could find no other way even tho I was taking medication and going to a psychologists.  You could also do a thesis on unrelieved chronic pain and suicide.  There is  a ton of info about this and it is a horrible thing to have.  Good luck hon
