No, I don't think its selfish, because at that time in the persons life they felt like they had no one to talk to. Which  9 times out of 10 there was at least 1 or 2 people they could of talked to but for some reason felt they couldn't open up. \n\nNow for people that have had someone commit suicide in their life, I can see why they think it would be selfish, because they are left "holding the bag" with all the emotions and feelings of a loved one committing suicide.

I think anytime anyone MENTIONS suicide, then they at least are thinking about it.  Whether they are "trying to get attention" or not is NOT the issue.  Maybe they NEED the attention.  If a person is depressed constantly, starts giving up on things, eating habits can change, starts giving things away.  Or if a person is depressed and then all of a sudden happy - that they came to the decision they won't be in pain anymore.  ALWAYS take suicide seriously. I have a friend who's son committed suicide at 16 about 12 years ago and it did her in.  She said there were no signs and that is possible.  I've been to that deep dark place myself and it's not a good place to be.  When you are "there" you CAN'T think about others because your pain went that much deeper and your brain functions differently.  That is why - when people say "they are selfish by com. suicide" -- I get angry because until you walk a mile in someone's shoes.........don't get me started.

The people who actually die of depression are normally suicides...

Sometimes it can be a cry for help because they don't know how to get the help they need.  Sometimes it can be their way of dealing with the pain they feel inside.  Whether they follow through with plans or not, it is something very serious.  My best friend committed suicide.  I wish that there would have been an attempt prior to the "success," Maybe she would still be here had we known the intensity of the feelings.  To others it might not seem like the person has sufficient reasons to even be considering suicide, but when you are in the midst of those feelings, they are very real and intense.  Make sure your friend knows she is cared about.  Don't walk away even if others do.

You can't compare legality for suicide, .... Who are they going to arrest if a person commits suicide??  If one "assists" in suicide, then it's murder

Nope.\nOne body, one suicide.  Otherwise it would be semi-double jeapordy.\nBesides- how would they be charged for murder if they are dead? =D

in a way it is very ironic but I think that many people feel the same way. I know that I myself believe in the death penalty for extreme crimes but otherwise not at all. See the problem that I see with encouraging to kill themselves is that often times the people guilty of such crimes don't feel guilt for their crimes, so why would they kill themselves. I don't know guess i am rambling. Good Luck in deciding

personally, i think that some forms of mental illness can come and go pretty quickly. i think that you have to be in some state of mental illness to want to commit suicide, and the same goes for killing someone (other than self-defense kind of thing). if one is in extreme, chronic pain, then i think that's the only circumstance in which one can commit suicide without being mentally ill. it's important to remember that even depression is a mental illness. depression is a chemical imbalance in one's brain, and that's not different than some conventional sicknesses (e.g. stress can cause a chemical imbalance in one's stomach which can lead to physical sickness). i think that too many of us fear the stigma of the phrase "mental illness" and therefore play down things that are truly mental illnesses.

i've answered a similar question to this before and my answer is still the same...if we took the time to listen to people in this day and age instead of being obsessed with our own lives and happenings then maybe there wouldnt be the need to post as many suicide questions or as many suicidal people out there. The human race as a whole is just becoming selfish.

There will be a police report of the incident, however if she was not taken in or treated for depression, or sent for a psychological evaluation, it will state in the police report that all was ok and it was just a concerned boyfriend who made the call. She won't have "suicidal maniac" stamped on her criminal record or anything- lay this to rest and quit worrying about it.

One theory I have read, that I agree with, is that the suicidal thoughts were there before, as a normal part of the symptomology of depression...when a medication is started, energy levels get higher and thoughts get clearer, so a person who was so severely depressed before might actually get the mental clarity and energy to carry out a suicide attempt on their way up to a therapeutic level.  It's not exactly the drug that causes the suicidal thoughts or behaviors.  But the body has to slowly build up a level, and there is for some people a dangerous level between "so depressed I can't move even to kill myself" and "now I feel like I can live a normal life".

I have been surrounded by suicide over the past few years.  As MASH (not that the song was created around MASH, but still MASH made it popular) says: "Suicide is Painless", but only for the one doing the act.  Everyone around that person is affected as myself and many people around me have been.  Now that could be "selfish" on my part to be thinking of myself and not the person who was suffering, but that's all I can do when they are no longer here.\n\nIf I was the one on the other side of the fence, I always wonder why I wouldn't be thinking "well if I have nothing to lose, I may as well live life as if I have nothing to lose and just do whatever I want to do."  I have never been able to completely put myself in any of my friend's situations, though.  It is not mine or anyone else's right to judge the person who is so depressed that they feel they are doing themselves and the world right by removing themselves from the situation, but the "selfishness" might come in not thinking about anyone except yourself at the time that you are going to take your life.\n\nIf there is someone saying that it was "selfish" to take your life after you have done it, then there is someone who cared enough for you that you had reason to stay alive.  Think about that before even THINKING of taking your life.

islamic point of view here is a Question asked to someone on a family member committing suicide:\nQuestion : \n\n\nMy younger brother died by hanging himself. He was only 25 yrs.old. The problem was a small tiff between my mother and himself. We are all deeply shocked and very much grieved. There are so many questions that I would like to ask you regarding this situation. Firstly, why did Allah choose this kind of death for my brother. Secondly, my father is 65 yrs old and he is very pious and my mother is extremely kind and gentle. Why did Allah show this day in their lives? Thirdly, how can we help him (my brother) who is no more? How can we see him in jannat? Can we convey our salam to him? Will our salam reach him? \n Also, after we did autopsy we found out that his death was not because of strangulation but because his spinal cord broke. Actually what happened was, there was a swing made out of a cloth for my kid in the room. My brother he took a stool which was nearby and tied it around his neck saying i will take my life. My mother was in the same room, praying. We feel it was not suicide, maybe it was his anger which made him do this. \nHis friends tell us that he was not the kind to commit suicide. In fact he used to advice his friends against it if they mentioned it. \nHis funeral was also good and his face did not look like he was suffering or anything. It looked like he was sleeping and we just had to wake him up. Does this indicate   \nPlease reply to this as we are very troubled by this sudden demise. \n\nAnswer : \n\nPraise be to Allaah.   \n\nIn dealing with these questions we must note three things, which are: \n\n1 – Everything happens by the will and decree of Allaah. Everything that happens in this universe, good or bad, happens by the decree of Allaah, under His control and by His will, for there is no lord except Him and no controller besides Him. \n\n2 – We must believe that He is wise in all that He decrees, for His is the utmost wisdom in all that happens in this universe, whether we understand that or not. Indeed, much of Allaah’s wisdom cannot be comprehended by the minds of His slaves. So we must submit to Allaah, by believing that His wisdom is perfect. It is not permissible for us to object to Him, whether that means objecting to His laws or to His decrees. \n\n3 – Suicide is a major sin and a bad end. The one who kills himself in order to escape calamities or poverty or the results of distress or anger has, by doing that, exposed himself to the punishment of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): \n\n“… And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allaah is Most Merciful to you.\n\nAnd whoever commits that through aggression and injustice, We shall cast him into the Fire, and that is easy for Allaah”\n\n[al-Nisa’ 4:29] \n\nAnd it was narrated in al-Saheehayn that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron, that iron will be in his hand and he will be stabbing himself in the stomach with it in Hell for ever and ever. Whoever kills himself with poison, that poison will be in his hand and he will be drinking it in Hell…” \n\nWhatever happened in this case, we must refer the matter to Allaah. What appears to be the case is that what happened was suicide, because he hung himself, i.e., he tied a rope around his neck and strangled himself. So either he committed suicide or he wanted to commit suicide. And Allaah knows best. \n\nAs for the righteousness of the parents, this does not mean that Allaah will not test them with some calamities, so as to show their patience and so as to erase thereby their sins. For the believer’s whole affair is good: if something good happens to him he gives thanks for it, and that is good for him, and if something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience, and that is good for him, and this applies only to the believer. So being tested with calamities does

People think suicide is selfish because they don't understand depression. They don't know what it's like to be so seriously depressed that misery and pain take over your life and the depressed person just desperately wants to get out of this misery and pain, they feel like they can't go on like that, and they're so ill that they think there is just one way out of it... suicide.\n\nWhen a person is depressed and suicidal the chemicals in their brain aren't the way they should be, that's the cause of the depression. This mess with the chemicals effects the way the brain works and when the depression gets really serious the person can't think clearly and right anymore, they're out of their mind. At that point, the only thought that gets through is to end the misery somehow. They can't think clearly about how their death will effect close ones. They might even think that everyone will be better off without them, because they think they're so useless, hopeless etc.\n\nSuicide is the result of a very serious illness. People who commit suicide have very serious mental problems. They're not selfish, they're really ill and not in their right mind. But mental illness is something some people can't understand because they haven't experienced it first hand, and a lot of people are ignorant about mental illnesses.\n\nWhen someone you love is suicidal the best you can do for them is to try to help them by getting them to see a professional and to use medication, and by supporting them. Most people can be saved, they can get over their illness and become healthy and happy again.

I will never ever kill myself.. Whenever killing yourself crosses your mind just think of the people who tragically died on an accident wishing they are still alive..

Adolescent suicide is an interesting topic. Just about every teenager I know has either considered it as an option or tried it. Many have friends who have succeeded.
