Why do people suicide???

Well, they can't really think through their situation in life and want to get free from the mental or physical pain in which affects them throughout their life. Others do so probably because they are of guilt or that of financial difficulties.

Its not suicide as such, they get attracted to light and do not move from there, and hence making themselves easy prey for humans and animals.\n\nYes, as per an earlier answer it could be confusing of their signals (Electro magnetic signals , which give them direction during migration), or defective genes as said earlier.

Why? Are you trying to kill yourself?

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

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.

Seriously get them help!!  I am not kidding.  My brother was suicidal for years and we treated it like the boy who cried wolf, and then last year he really did kill himself.  Report them to some one and get them help!!  Even if you call the cops, they will put your friend on a mental health hold for 48+ hours and get them help!  This is not some thing to mess with.

I can understand that, but I hope it's just a passing thought. It really does always get better eventually & you wonder why you had that thought...until the next time.\n\nI think suicide is very selfish, though. The person who commits suicide doesn't think about the people they are leaving behind who sit around and go crazy blaming themselves for your selfish act.\n\nI had a male friend who committed suicide several years ago because his exgirlfriend didn't show up at a place he told her to meet him. The poor girl showed up about five minutes too late. I guess he thought she wasn't going to come. Now SHE is the one who has to blame herself forever and be scarred by that incident even though she responded to his call.\n\nAnyway, like I said, for you, I hope it's just a passing thought like I think everyone gets once in a while. If not seek help - not necessarily from a shrink - but a friend, family member - heck, even a pet. Write in a journal - there are many great ways to give yourself therapy without spending any money. Oh, and yes, I do think it is the ultimate sin - the ultimate selfish act.\n\nGood luck - I hope you find some cool ways to cope with life's injustices - you're not alone.

WHY do you want to kill yourself sometimes? Or do you have no logical reason for feeling depressed? I have found that it is always slightly better when there is an excuse that makes sense because you have something to blame.\n\nI was depressed for several years, and came close to attempting suicide several times. Nothing that should have made me THAT depressed, just lack of friends and upset about poor grades. Unfortunately, I found myself holding a pocketknife to my wrist just the same.\n\nThe trick, for me at least, was doing the exact opposite of what I wanted to do. I really just felt like shutting myself in my room and crying or sleeping or playing computer games all day. It was a cycle: I would do this, my life would suck, I would be so depressed about how I was such a loser that I would do this. I doubt you are in the same cycle, but most depressed people are in some sort of emotional feedback loop, whether they put themselves there or not.\n\nOne day I said "%$#@ THIS!". I gave away all my computer games. I began approaching people and attempting to socialize, even though I lacked social skills and this was incredibly painful in ways I can't begin to describe. The truth is I have still not completely cured my natural antisocial tendencies, but I am A LOT better than before.\n\nIdentify your feedback loop. Break it by any means necessary, and you will be free.

I myself know six people who've committed suicide...all men. No, not men I dated....3 relatives, 2 high school friend and one friend from college. I think that everyone has a different method of coping and everyone's method isn't as good as others. And I also think everyone has limits to what they can handle and if people haven't learned how to cope with life's struggles, it's easy to see how they can succumb to suicide.\n\nI've forwarded the following link to friends and acquaintances many times who've said they've reached their limit. I tell them to read just page 5, if not the entire book.\n\nhttp://www.hopeline.com/docs/suicide.pdf...\n\nIt's a PDF, so you'll need Acrobat Reader to view it.\n\nThere was a time more than a dozen years ago when I reached my limit and someone who could tell, saved me by asking me to read only page 5. I ended up reading the entire book. And I'm still here, so it must be good stuff.\n\nAnd luckily after surfing the Internet one day I found the book, now free on the Internet as a service to others.\n\n:)

Because you're not considering the consequences of your suicide on other people. Suicidal people tend to get so wrapped up in their own problems (i.e. Everyone hates ME, *I* am never going to succeed, *I* can't take this anymore) that they fail to consider how anyone else feels, they just assume that their pain is the only thing that matters. Imagine how a mother would feel when her Child kills themself, the child may have thought that the mother hated them or whatever, but all mother's love their children. The suicide of their child is like the child turning round and saying: "You failed, you didn't love me enough, you didn't keep me safe nor make me happy. Now I don't care about you, so I've killed myself to spite you"\nThe only person who really benefits from the suicide is the person who kills themselves, because they don't have to deal with the massive emotional trauma they just inflicted on anyone whoever loved or cared about them.

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 off themselves for tons of reasons.\ncuz they feel all hope is lost.\ncuz they feel they cannot deal with the embarassment of whatever.\ncuz they've got a severe chemical imbalance in the brain.\ncuz they've got a terrible disease that is going to cause them so much incredible suffering they'd rather take their death into their own hands.\ncuz they're so frustrated with other humans that they'd sooner off themselves rather than go on a tri-state killing spree.\n\nbasically, because certain aspects of life become so overwhelming that he/she/it cannot deal with it any longer.

NEVER !!!!!\nIt does not matter what circumstances are involved, suicide is for people who can not deal with the reality of life, and what they have done with it.\nSome of the above mentioned people are sick and delusional, some were just doing their jobs. BUT none of them HAD to do what they did, they were just to weak to stop it for various reasons.\nThey all need to learn to live with what they have done and try to somehow TRY to correct it, wether just through seeking help or by actively helping society to prevent situations they have caused.\neg - A heroin addict that has beaten an elderly person for money, stolen from people and lied and cheated to his/her family saying one day (f**k the junk I have had enough) and after going through the agony of quitting, then turning around trying to help others through the same process, speaking at schools and in public about the dangers etc etc.\nNO suicide is NEVER acceptable. Women abort lives, babys are still born, innocent children are knocked down by cars - the list goes on - then for someone to make mistakes with the life that they have and decide to commit suicide to fix them is just  a SELFISH act and cruel to the people that have tried to either help or support them no matter how bad their mistake or crimes might have been.\nCriminals could hand themselves in and people that may have cost a life through mistake could appologise for this to the families involved.\n\nTo close this topic - We are all human and sometimes go the wrong way or do the wrong thing but we should never waste the valuable thing we possess known as life. To many sick peolpe want it for others to throw it away.

If you want to committ suicide, do it yourself don't drag another human being into your reality. They are people too.

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.

because thats just life..it is not supposed 2 make sense..if it did make sense i dont think suicide rates would be so high..but u have to accept that ppl are going to hurt you, stop talking to you, betray you, and in the end you still ask why why why..sometimes instead of always trying to fix things all the time its best to accept that some things we just cant control..good luck
